DESCRIPTION
Exquisite eloquence from Australia's foremost Baroque flute virtuoso, Melissa Farrow. Well
known to Australian audiences as a featured artist with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Australian Brandenburg Orchestra, Australian Haydn Ensemble and Pinchgut Opera, this is her first solo album: a deep dive into the elegant musical salons of early 19th-century Vienna. Sublime melodies, joyous virtuosity, and delicate nuances of colour: Farrow plays the nine-key instrument prized by composers of the day, where each note has multiple possible fingerings, each with it's own subtle shades of timbre. Farrow is joined by ARIA Awardwinning pianist Erin Helyard, long a favourite with Australian audiences, hailed by Limelight magazine as 'Australia's most engaging soloist'. The album includes music by Beethoven, Mozart's son Franz Xaver, and Leopoldine Blahetka, one of the most important female musicians of the 19th century.
