Flute Favourites / Various Flute Favourites / Various CD

From it's origins as one of the oldest musical instruments known to man to the sophisticated mechanics and elegant design today, the flute has been highly significant for every culture and historical period. Prized for the vocal character in it's sound, composers such as Bach and Mozart used it for some of their most beautiful, aria-like melodies. Spectacular virtuosity later became part of the flute's nature as can be heard in Doppler's Rigoletto-fantaisie, while impressionist composers such as Debussy saw it's timeless qualities as a window into nature or the sensual mysteries of a distant and mythological past.
