Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – Flute Concerto in G Major, Wq. 169
Performed by Emmanuel Pahud and the Kammerakademie Potsdam, conducted by Trevor Pinnock
C.P.E. Bach’s G Major Concerto showcases the expressive intensity of the empfindsamer Stil.

Trevor Pinnock and the Kammerakademie offer historically informed support with clarity and poise.
Antonio Vivaldi – Flute Concerto in D Major, RV 428 'Il gardellino'
Performed by Emmanuel Pahud and the Australian Chamber Orchestra, conducted by Richard Tognetti
This vivid and playful concerto imitates the song of the goldfinch. Pahud’s performance is full of lively articulation and shimmering tone, especially in the bird-like figures of the outer movements. The Australian Chamber Orchestra provides an agile and expressive accompaniment.
Matthias Ziegler – Ballade
Performed by Matthias Ziegler
A contemplative work for solo bass or contrabass flute, 'Ballade' explores the rich sonority and lyrical potential of the instrument. Ziegler’s performance brings out the voice-like phrasing, subtle overtones, and flowing shapes that characterize this meditative piece.
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier – Concerto for Five Flutes, Op. 15 No. 6 (Second Movement)
Performed by Jacques-Antoine Bresch, Jocelyn Daubigney, Anne Savignat, Vincent Touzet, and Jan de Winne
The second movement of this delightful concerto highlights Boismortier’s flair for graceful melody and elegant ensemble writing. The five baroque flutes create a lush, transparent texture with subtle interweaving lines and delicate ornamentation.

Performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Herbert von Karajan
Bach’s Fourth Brandenburg Concerto features two recorders and solo violin in a joyful, contrapuntal interplay. In this grand orchestral interpretation, the balance between soloists and full strings is rich and festive, showcasing the work’s rhythmic vitality and sophisticated textures.
