Kuhlau: 7 Flute Trios

Flute East Trio

96087

Friedrich Kuhlau was the foremost pioneer of the Danish Golden Age in the early 19th century. He is often referred to as the “Beethoven of the flute”. His flute compositions enjoyed great popularity during his lifetime and were praised by the important musical luminaries Brahms and Tchaikovsky. Kuhlau, moreover, is still known for his impressive contribution to the flute repertoire.

This new recording contains 7 Flute Trios (for three flutes). While his trios each have a clear structure, they also display interesting key relationships and virtuosity. His deep understanding, both technical as well as musical, of the instrument enabled him to write spectacular virtuosic works.

Performed with great virtuosity, clarity and “Spielfreude”by the Flute East Trio, which was founded in 2015 by three Asian flautists of the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler in Berlin. The trio enthuses the audience with their passion, mellow sounds and their distinct personalities that combine to form one musical unity.
