The flute concertos presented in this recording offer a central section of the flute repertoire, dedicated to the classical form, composed between the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century, in galant style. They all share the singular characteristic of being in G major, except for Mercadante's concerto, which is nevertheless composed within the soundscape of the relative minor, E minor. Divided into three movements, they follow the usual scheme of a faster, denser first movement, a more lyrical and cantabile second movement, and a lively and technically brilliant third movement. A theme entrusted to the orchestra opens the curtain to the protagonist, the flute, after a few bars, reiterating the tonality and beginning to "play," highlighting the skill and generosity of the performer.
