Sonates pour flûte

Description

The Bach family - Sonatas for flute traces, almost genealogically, the metamorphosis of musical language from the 18th century through the medium of the transverse flute. From the concertante density and contrapuntal breadth of Johann Sebastian to the nervous mobility of Wilhelm Friedemann, from the theater of affections of Carl Philipp Emanuel to the courtly balance of Johann Christoph Friedrich and the cosmopolitan clarity of Johann Christian, the program follows a dynastic and stylistic line of rare intelligibility. The album becomes a concise history of sonata thought and the Bachian breath, understood not as a static monument but as a constellation of diverse responses to a common problem of line, eloquence, and musical conversation. From Leipzig to Hamburg, from Bückeburg to London, the flute records each mutation of accent and musical thought.
