The compositions of the great 18th-century flautist Fritz Gasparo have fallen into undeserved neglect, and this brand-new album will come as a welcome revelation to many lovers of this fine instrument. Gasparo lived from 1716 to 1783, and made a major contribution to the development of the flute as well as contributing, in his beautifully written and stylishly expressive Sonatas, a body of work for the instrument which many will wish to acquaint themselves with. We are proud to present on this new-recorded CD the very gifted young flautist Claire Genewein, with Maya Amrein, cello and Nicolette Para-Schivescu harpsichord as continuo. The music is a wonderful example of the High Baroque period at its best, the performances are exemplary, and the recording quality is one of the finest we have produced in recent years. We are very proud of this important record.
