In ‘Romances tardives’, Frédéric Chatoux and Lutxi Nesprias boldly combine masterpieces from the original flute repertoire, Reinecke’s Ondine Sonata and Fauré’s Fantaisie, with transcriptions of Franck’s Violin Sonata and Schumann’s Dichterliebe. Their collaboration is marked by great complicity and sheds new light on these major works of the Romantic repertoire, exploring the full expressive range of the modern flute.
