Music’s unique and amazing ability to reflect our feelings without using words or any visual cues has been valued throughout history and is a trait composers sought to perfect in their own writing. Even so, no other musical era seems more destined to capture and explore human emotions than the Romantic period that blossomed in the 19th century.

At that time, the instrument inventor Theobald Böhm refined the flute, giving it the shape we are familiar with now, and it was an instrument of choice for composers of the day. The 19th century symphonic repertoire is a rich repository for extended, expressive flute solos, yet the instrument remained underrepresented in solo and chamber works.

The works collected in La flauta romántica originate with three of the greatest Spanish instrumental virtuosos of their time: the pianists Isaac Albéniz and Enrique Granados and the violinist Pablo de Sarasate. In transcribing their compositions Franco Cesarini was especially focussed on creating authentic chamber music for flute whilst preserving the typically Spanish sound world of this music.

The enclosed CD provides a demonstration of each piece, followed by the piano accompaniment with which to play along.
