Pièces de concert II presents Coste at his most ambitious, where virtuosity becomes architecture and the guitar expands in colour and scale.

Three Sonatas for flute and piano, two of them are written by French composers (Poulenc and Pierné) and one by a Brazilian, son of an Italian immigrant. A snapshot portraying the variety of inspiration characterizing flute music in the twentieth century, and the multifaceted embodiments of “Frenchness” in flute music. A combination of melancholy and irony, brilliancy and singing, lyricism and virtuosity. An itinerary where one of the best known and most played works in the literature for flute and piano (i.e. the Poulenc Sonata) is juxtaposed to less known works, fully deserving greater appreciation. A musical adventure leading the listeners to both familiar and untrodden paths, to the enjoyment of many diverse styles, and to the delight of a musical promenade in an ideal “France”.
