What at first glance appears an eclectic trio of Classical-era composers from three nations can be experienced as a harmonious combination through the carefree exuberance which each of them brought to the combination of bassoon and flute – father and daughter of the wind family. The Sonata for flute and obbligato bassoon by François Devienne (1759-1803) is recorded here for the first time. It is a typically enjoyable example of chamber composition of the late 18th century, and just as the finale may bring to mind contemporary works by Haydn and Mozart, so may the early sonata by Beethoven in which the two winds are joined by a piano. He wrote it in his teenage years, and what the sonata lacks in expressive profundity is compensated by an already-sophisticated understanding of the instruments at his disposal.

Works:
• Beethoven: Trio in G major WoO37 for Flute, Bassoon and Piano
• Devienne: Sonata in C for flute and bassoon
• Donizetti: Trio for Flute Bassoon and Piano
