In between a university project and a performance practice seminar, in 2014, the idea arose to work together – initially only for a concert. This was coupled with scepticism as to whether the modern flute and historically tuned harpsichord would harmonise.
In the first rehearsals, it became clear that this combination really worked and thus marked the beginning of a joint musical path ! At the same time, we agreed very quickly that we did not want to devote ourselves to the « standard » repertoire, the wonderful sonatas by Bach, Handel and Telemann. Rather, we were interested in the less well-known compositions for flute. Thus, on our first CD, we presented the first recording of a suite for flute and basso continuo by Thomas Marc, among other works. Now we can present the result of our further work, whilst commuting between Berlin and Münster – our second recording, « Zeitenfluss 1774-1804 ».
With this recording, we have once again let ourselves be guided by the search of the unknown – always deriving pleasure from musical and (during breaks) culinary diversions. We feel that our work together is a great gift and encourages further exciting projects.
