18th Century Flute Sonatas
A new CD by Tadeu Coelho was released this summer. Eric Larsen joined him in performances of works by Mozart, Telemann, Handel, Vivaldi, Müthel, LeClair, and C.P.E. Bach. The CD was recorded in December 2004 in Watson Hall at the North Carolina School of the Arts. Tadeu Coelho says: "Eighteenth-century flute sonatas have always been close to my heart. Through the years, I listened to most of these great works by my teachers and other great masters. It is to all of them that I dedicate this recording. These works are special in many ways: they have endured the flood of repertoire discoveries and have remained in the canon of flute literature. What is also interesting to me is the connection that most of these composers had with each other and how some of their lives intertwined. It is my sincere hope that these sonatas will bring the listener the joy they have brought me." Available at CD Baby
