Castelnuovo-Tedesco’s lively duo includes one of his most exquisite melodies in the second slow movement. It was mainly Telemann’s 12 Fantasias that enriched the solo flute repertoire in the first half of the 18th century, profoundly influencing the development of the instrument. Histoire du tango is now heard in many instrumental combinations but was originally written for this precise pairing. The first two movements precede a finale of Paganini’s only violin and piano composition in which he abandons acrobatics in favour of soulful operatic lines. Featuring flute lecturer Kathryn Moorhead and alumnus Aleksandr Tsiboulski.
