FRIEDRICH KUHLAU (1786-1832): 3 grandi soli for Flute and Piano, Op. 57

Description: Dating from 1823, these three-movement works straddle the line between drawing-room music and virtuoso flute music. Recorded in 2000 as world premieres, they are still the only available versions of these pieces. Maurizio Bignardelli (flute), Gian Rosario Presutti (piano).
