Karg-Elert is usually associated with the organ, but his flute works clearly show an affinity and complete understanding of the instrument’s technical possibilities. His rich melodic inventiveness is much in evidence in the Sonata in Bb, which is given a thrilling performance by the two artists here. His Studies, op.107, and the one-movement Sonata in F# minor, present the player with a wealth of challenges, both musical and technical. The most poignant work on this disc is surely the substantial four-movement Sonata by Alun Hoddinott, who wrote it specially for Julian Cawdrey; sadly, the composer died just a few months prior to the release of this CD. Hoddinott’s unique musical language soon draws the listener in, each movement seeming to become more ‘familiar’ as the sonata unfolds. The sonata is preceded by his Nocturnes & Cadenzas, a work that broods with dark Celtic mysticism.
