This new release from Peter Holtslag is truly a unique listening experience. In these recordings he performs on one of the few remaining transverse flutes from the eighteenth century- a beautiful instrument crafted by Johann August Crone. Five sonatas are included here, each of which display Holtslag’s beautiful technique and historically informed performance practices. “Peter Holtslag is an accompanied player with acute sensibilities where textures, articulation, and phrasing are concerned.” (Gramophone, London) “Holtslag is gifted with more imagination than some.” (Gramophone)
