Concertos for flute and orchestra from the Romantic era are a rarity - very few 19th century composers wrote concertante music for the flute.

And, if this were not reason enough to explore this lovely disc, all three works performed are World Premiere Recordings! Finally, these pieces are simply GORGEOUS - true musical treasures deserving of a permanent place in the concert repertoire.

Our soloist, Gaby Pas-Van Riet (First Chair Flute of the SWR RSO Stuttgart), herself a native of the Low Countries, is a persuasive advocate for these Flemish Romantic flute concertos. She is joined by the SWR RSO Stuttgart under the direction of conductor Fabrice Bollon, whose sensitivity for romantic music has already received global praise and recognition for his recent recording of the complete Saint-Saens Cello Concertos with Johannes Moser
