This album, which could be described as a dream collaboration between two artists at the forefront of the European early music scene, has “folk songs” as its theme… Through exquisite programming and outstanding performances, they reveal just how deeply this genre—a key concept in 19th-century music—was intertwined with music for the flute and keyboard.\nThe term “folk song” here refers to traditional songs that have been passed down orally through the communities of various parts of Europe. Nineteenth-century people, who were attuned to the roots of their local cultures, found their imaginations sparked by the simple yet unique charm of these songs, and composers actively explored their potential in their own works. How could they interpret widely known folk melodies through their own sensibilities? Their creativity, which blossomed in the genre of variations—a form that succinctly demonstrates this approach—can only be fully appreciated when performed on the instruments of the era that they themselves were familiar with. In addition to Beethoven and his contemporary Kuhlau, this excellent program delves into the sources of 19th-century music leading up to the era of Liszt and Brahms, including major works by Doppler, who was active during the development of the keyed flute. Featuring two types of period flutes (one of which is a 19th-century original) and an original Graf fortepiano—a favorite of Beethoven in his later years—this recording offers new discoveries that will captivate your attention.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595623850273,"sku":"4589538760175","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538760175.jpg?v=1790481981","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538760175","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
