Wind instruments have for long been of particular importance to French composers. Romantic Flute Concertos includes works by Fauré, Ravel, Saint-Saëns, and the less familiar Jules Mouquet, with the piccolo polka Le merle blanc by Damaré, following a unique original edition for full orchestra discovered by Marc Grauwels in the cellars of the Brussels Music Library. The collection opens with a Concertante by Mendelssohn’s friend, the virtuoso pianist Moscheles, succeeded by a Concertino, an early work of Donizetti.
