1/7

Interpretation

The cadenzas for the flute concertos were written by François Lazarevitch, the flutist and conductor, drawing inspiration from Mozart's piano concerto cadenzas.

Interpretation

For the Flute and Harp Concerto, the cadenza was composed by Pierre Chépélov, who specializes in early repertoire, in collaboration with the performers.

Recording & Production

This is the first time Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien have recorded with such a large number of musicians, despite regularly performing orchestral programs since 2020.

Instruments

For the Flute and Harp Concerto, François Lazarevitch uses an eight-keyed flute, as the work's commissioner, the Duc de Guines, owned a modern flute with a C foot.

Interpretation

Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien, the ensemble on this recording, often perform without a conductor, requiring individual responsibility from each musician.

Instruments

Sandrine Chatron, the harpist, performs on an historical harp made by François-Joseph Naderman, an instrument maker active from 1781 to 1835.

Instruments

François Lazarevitch plays the two flute concertos on a one-keyed flute, a copy of an instrument from Mozart's era, similar to those used in the Baroque period.
