FRIEDRICH KUHLAU (1786-1832): 3 Flute Quintets, Op. 51.

Description: These quintets date from around 1822 and are fully in the bravura style of the early Romantic period, demanding great physical stamina from the soloist. And, with two violas in the string quartet, the works have a rich, dark tonality that sets them apart from other such pieces in the genre. Ginevra Petrucci (flute), Kodály Quartet.
