| A fascinating offshoot of SKARBO’s “Flute Panorama” series, this disc brings us a virtuoso recital of – mostly - 19th century music, played by Jean-Louis Beaumadier who has been described by no less an authority than the great flautist Jean-Pierre Rampal as “the Paganini of the piccolo”. The complete absence from the CD catalogue of most of the composers represented here could just indicate that this is genuinely the first piccolo recital ever recorded – so come on, all you fans and students, now’s your chance! |
