For Hector Berlioz the flute was an instrument with a dreamy character. At the same time, he stressed its ability to present fast runs and unbelievable trilled figures, and these can be experienced abundantly in this chamber music. Joseph Haydn’s London Trio No. 1, in which two flutes and a cello interact to great effect, is light and playful. The works of Joseph Joachim Raff and Charles Gounod offer many captivating sound effects for large wind formations – bright, uncomplicated and spirited.
