 | from Bach: Flute Sonatas (CDA67897) 1 Adagio ma non tanto [2'37] 12 minutes 39 seconds 4 tracks2 Allegro [3'06] 3 Siciliano [3'41] 4 Allegro assai [3'15] ‘Oliva's modern silver flute has a glorious shimmering quality and an even tone … the combination of these two sensitive artists creates some memorable moments. Best is the Sonata No 1 in B minor ... ‘Beyond doubt … are the taste and poise of these performances by Angela Hewitt and Andrea Oliva. The cream of the crop is perhaps Bach's B minor Sonata BWV1030, but the entire set is a cornucopia ... ‘Oliva … is evidently an outstanding player … Hewitt is a model of discretion and elegance’ (The Guardian) |
