Composer Biography
Joachim Andersen, a Danish flutist, was a founding member, principal flutist, and assistant conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.
Cultural Impact
Andersen is celebrated for his 188 etudes, which form the core of every flutist's education.
Recording & Production
The recording engineer, Claus Byrith, has received the Swedish "Fonogrampriset" for recordings of quartets by Stenhammar and an American Critics Award.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Unlike most 19th-century flutist-composers who focused on one national style, Andersen incorporated elements of French art and other influences into his compositions.

Andersen spent 11 years in Berlin, performing under famous composers and conductors such as Brahms, Grieg, Strauss, Tchaikovsky, and Hans von Bülow.
