This album of 20th-century masterpieces for flute and guitar features works composed especially for this combination of instruments plus arrangements of works by Bartók and Ravi Shankar. Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s Sonatine for Flute and Guitar is considered to be one of the finest compositions for this combination of instruments, contrasting joyfulness with poignant melodies. The warm sound of the alto flute is given expressive range in Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea, while Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango takes us on a journey from the form’s beginnings in the brothels of Buenos Aires, to its acceptance as one of the most loved musical art forms of the 20th century.

“… I have found this disc rewarding and full of impressive musicianship, constantly perceptive and idiomatic. So far as I can see, this is the first recording made by the duo of Britta Jacobs and Irene Kalisvaart. I very much hope that more recordings will follow – I shall certainly look out for any that do.”
