01 – 04 Joseph Jongen (187 3 –1953):
Sonate pour flute et piano op. 77 (1924) [29‘42]

05 – 08 César Franck (1822–1890):
Sonata in A major for Flute and Piano [28‘11]

09 Claude Debussy (1862–1918):
Prélude a l’apres-midi d’un faune [09‘13]

The turn of the century in 1900 was once called the golden age of the flute. And here, Hans-Udo Heinzmann introduces three works from this period together with his piano partner Elisaveta Blumina on his fourth GENUIN CD. Debussy's "Afternoon of a Fawn", perhaps the best-known flute work of all time, is supplemented by César Franck's brilliant Sonata in A major and the weighty, passionate and unjustly neglected Sonata by Joseph Jongens. These three pieces portray a universe in miniature, and Heinzmann allows his instrument to shine, cajole and shimmer in the French style, with all the clarity of the Mediterranean world!
