Otar Taktakishvili (1924-1989)
Sonata for Flute & Piano in C Major

Marina Piccinini, flute
Eva Kupiec, piano

1. 00:00 Allegro cantabile
2. 05:52 Aria: Moderato con moto
3. 10:36 Allegro scherzando

Following the acclaimed release of her first recording for Claves, Flute Recital «Belle Epoque», virtuoso Marina Piccinini now presents a recording featuring brilliant works from the 20th century for flute and piano with an accent on Eastern Europe.

While the flute may have evoked ancient Greece or a brilliant salon for the French school of composers, in Eastern Europe it has always been a folk instrument, and that aspect predominates in this recording. It is true that the works titled «Sonata» by Taktakishvili and Martinu are models of neoclassical sonata form, but under their traditional forms and balanced themes beats the heart of a culture that is rooted well east of Vienna.

Paul Arma's setting of Béla Bartók's 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs captures all the moods of his teacher's collection ranging from tender to whimsical to lively to nostalgic. Erno von Dohnányi's Aria for Flute and Piano is redolent with the sensuous sounds of Borodin or Rachmaninov, an amorous nocturne. And Erwin Schulhoff's Sonata for Flute and Piano, composed in 1927, combines the insouciant air of the Parisian «Six» with a genuine affection for Czech tunes and rhythms.

Flutist Marina Piccinini is widely recognized as one of the world's leading young flute virtuosos. She combines flawless technical command, profound interpretive instincts and a charismatic stage presence -- qualities that make each of her performances a memorable event. In the words of Bernard Holland, chief music critic for The New York Times, Ms. Piccinini is «...an absolutely first-rate player... a musician who hears and understands with great intelligence».
