Miriam Terragni & Catherine Sarasin - Fantasie & Sonate - Music for Flute & Piano (2017/2020) [Hi-Res]

It all began with a fascinating find in the well-known antiquarian music shop Schlohlein in Basel, where Miriam Terragni came across a substantial but previously neglected Romantic flute sonata, an era which offers a fairly slim repertoire for flute soloists. The sonata was composed by Max Meyer-Olbersleben and it is a mystery to Terragni that this romantic bravura does not belong to the flute repertoire. The other recorded works are true but forgotten pearls of literature for the instrument. Miriam Terragni is the solo flutist of the Argovia Philharmonic under the baton of Douglas Bostock. Her work as solo flutist was influenced by her work with the Orchester Philharmonique Suisse. There she worked together with renowned conductors such as Mario Venzago, Charles Dutoit, Gerd Albrecht and Nello Santi. As a soloist, chamber musician and orchestra musician, Miriam Terragni celebrates success throughout Europe. Productions for radio and TV emphasize her versatility. In addition to her busy activity in orchestras and as a passionate chamber musician, she teaches at the music schools at Laufen, Allschwil and Reinach.
