Dupuy & Buchner: Romantic Flute Concertos
Label: BRILLIANT Catalog: BRI95192 Format: CD The little-recorded Flute Concerto by Swiss composer Edouard Dupuy (1770-1822) is a marvelously tense and testing work, as contoured to its instrument and early-Romantic idiom as the concertos for clarinet by Weber and for piano by Chopin. + The equally seldom heard Flute Concerto by Ferdinand Büchner (1825-1912), in the rarely used and tragic key of F minor, gives notice of a developed and individual voice. + The first of several such concertos but generally considered the finest of them, it is a grand-scale work of symphonic proportions, demanding a high level of virtuosity of the soloist.
