André Jolivet's 'Chant de Linos', a highly expressive song of lament composed as a tonally virtuosic competition piece, impressively concludes this entertaining SACD portrait bringing together the flute soloist Helen Dabringhaus and her piano partner Sebastian Berakdar.

Schubert's 'Trockene Blumen' and Bartók's 'Suite paysanne hongroise' form other highlights, both feared and loved, of the flute literature: here they encounter the moderated

modernism of Hosokawa's magical tones and in its recording premiere Carl Frühling's romantic 'Fantasie', which is extant only in this piano version.
