Flute Concerti
by Nielsen, Reinecke, and Busoni
Carl Nielsen (1865-1931)
Flute Concerto
Carl Reinecke (1824-1910)
Flute Concerto in D Major, Op. 283
Ferruccio Busoni (1866-1924)
Divertimento for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 52
Aurele Nicolet, Flute
Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra
Kurt Masur, Conductor
It can be quite rewarding for flutists to delve into the music of the late romantic and early modern composers, as is proven by the program chosen by Aurele Nicolet here. Carl Reinecke's Flute Concerto, even though it was written in 1908, does not reflect the 20th century at all (the Chopin motto at the beginning is a clear indication of this). The other two works heard here, however, were strictly "up to the minute" stylistically when they were written.
