German Flute Music Avie - AV2076 These composers mostly circled around Hindemith. Most musicians compose a bit, some of them extensively, the results little or un-known. Here one learns a great deal about about the famous Walter Gieseking through his daughter's rounded portrait of a man of many parts, including the dedicated lepidopterist who never pracised piano and once jumped up from the piano The 20 yr old Henze's youthful effort earned him a lifelong publishing association with Schott's. Hindemith's own is typical of his functional "gebrauchmusik", with sonatas supplied for every imanginable instrument. A pleasing disc, well played and recorded, but no excuse for the flutist's name being given six times larger than his partner's ! Peter Grahame Woolf |
during an outdoor recital to capture a 'particularly interesting moth' ! His sonatina is fresh and charming, as is too Genzmer's which is a little more individual.
Both of them should be known to flute students and recitalists.
