Philippe Gaubert’s fourteen works for flute and piano have long been standard repertoire, but the six chamber works presented here, all of comparable quality, have remained obscure. This recording unites them for the first time, bracketed by two works for flute and piano. Gaubert himself recorded the opening Madrigal, one of his best-loved pieces, and one that provides a succinct introduction to the virtues of his several miniatures for the flute: clarity of form, economy of means and warmth of expression.
