Recorded in the Great Hall at Montsalvat in Eltham, north-east of Melbourne.
Bach's Suite No. 2 for solo cello in D minor is a bold example of his command of counterpoint, melody and design. It works equally well as a solo vehicle for flute, as on this album, and the whole work is both powerful and sensitive.
The origins of the C major sonata for flute and basso continuo are obscure, and there is real doubt whether Bach had any hand in it. Even so, it is a delightful score that gives the virtuoso plenty to do.
Giuliani's Grande Sonata Op. 85 is typical of the many early nineteenth-century works that put the guitar to chamber use. It remains one of the finest pieces in the flute and guitar repertoire.
