Birgit Ramsl-Gaal: The Bird Of Life - Late Romantic Flute Tr Birgit Ramsl-Gaal, Karl-Heinz Schutz, Gottlieb Wallisch

During the last decade of the 19th century a generation of central European composers emerged that was to exert a powerful influence on the current of contemporary music. Yet, for the most part, their works for flute remain little known. Prague-born Karel Jirák’s Sonata for Flute and Piano, Op. 32 a is without doubt an important addition to the recorded catalogue of flute music. (Naxos)
