For their second album as a duo, the flautist Jocelyn Aubrun and pianist Aline Piboule decided to bring together five works composed in 1943. A rainbow journey around Europe, from France to Russia via the Netherlands. Alongside the oft-celebrated Prokofiev and Dutilleux Sonatas, this retrospective also offers some little-known works such as Smit’s Sonata, whose style resembles Hindemith, or that of Flothuis, a sort of pastorale with strong French influences. Another great rarity: Claude Arrieu’s reinvigorating and delightful Sonatine.
