Info for Romantic Flute Concertos

This recording with flutist Anne Pustlauk is an experiment: for about 15 years, she has been researching flute performance practice in the early and late 19th century, which differs greatly from our performance practice today. It is not only the historical instruments that make the difference; the playing style of that time is also rarely heard today.

Together with L'arpa festante under Korneel Bernolet, Anne Pustlauk is searching for new forms of expression without copying a specific playing style from that period. The artists demonstrate this impressively with the famous Flute Concerto Op. 283 by Carl Reinicke and Peter Benoit's Symphonic Poem Op. 43A from 1865. The programme also includes Ferdinand Langer's Flute Concerto in G minor, which he composed for his friend and colleague at the Mannheim Court Theatre, Franz Neuhofer (a pupil of the famous flute maker Theobald Boehm), who held the position of principal flutist in the orchestra there.

Anne Pustlauk
discovered her love for the transverse flute during her flute studies with Prof. Renate Greiss-Armin in Karlsruhe. This lead her to the Royal Conservatory in Brussels (KCB) with Barthold Kuijken and Frank Theuns where she earned her bachelors and masters degrees. After having delved into the music of the 18th century, she began playing the simple system flute. In 2011 she undertook a Doctoral Research Program in the Arts at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and the KCB with the help of a Ph.D. scholarship from the Fellowship of Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). The main theme of her research was the flute and its performance practice in the first half of the 19th century. The defense of this Ph.D. took place in November 2016. Aside from her interest in research, her primary aim has always been solo performance, chamber music and playing orchestral music. She shares her knowledge about the flute and its varied performance practice in masterclasses and presentations with great enthusiasm.
