Dreams, illusions, nightmares, tender and formidable images: all this can be heard on this new CD - the third - by the Japanese flautist Atsuko Koga.

From the first lost melodies by her fellow countryman Akira Miyoshi and the yearning musical arcs of Carl Maria von Weber, to the playful, even euphoric figurations of Bohuslav Martinu, Koga and her partners Georgiy Lomakov (cello) and Radoslaw Kurek (piano) succeed in taking us with them into an ever-new musical and spiritual landscape.

Their approach is so direct, fresh and immediate that one enjoys experiencing the three unknown treasures of chamber music with them, from beginning to end. Repertoire and interpretation are both extraordinary.
