This cd is framed by two substantial sonatas for flute and harp; one 20th century, the other 21st century, with dance and folk themes central to all the pieces on this recording.
The Schaposhnikov Sonata was written in 1925 and is a virtuostic showpiece for the flute and harp. The first movement is lyrical and French influenced, the second movement is a charming minuet, and the third movement is a lively folk inspired finale.
The sonata by Andy Scott was written in 2002 for the Arabesque Duo, and is a premier recording of this new piece for flute and harp. This sonata is influenced both by eastern European folk rhythms and jazz harmony. The writing calls for special effects and timbres, including using the harp as a percussion instrument to create rhythmic intensity.
The heart of this cd is the Hamilton Harty "In Ireland". This work dates from 1918 when it was originally composed for flute & piano (and was later adapted by the composer for flute, harp and orchestra). To set the scene, Harty has given the performers a taste of what is to come in one short sentence - "In a Dublin street at dusk two wandering street musicians are playing....."
The Ravel "Habanera", Debussy "La plus que lente" and Faure "Pavanne" are particular favourites of ours, all of them evocative French pieces based upon dances, that we have arranged for the duo. Honneger "Danse de la Chevre" and Salzedo "Chanson Dans la nuit" are pieces for solo flute and solo harp respectively. The Honneger was written in 1932 and portrays a day in the life of a goat! The Salzedo was written in 1927 and is a sultry dance of the night. They are both as fresh and timeless as the day they were written.
