These flute concertos are played on a wooden baroque transverse flute, and the smooth sound of it never dominates, but forms a whole with the "camerata" (no orchestra!), so efficient for the rendition of concertos from a time wherein the soloist was not yet a star. Recorded in 1991, but still very good.
