The first entry of the list of Concours works for flute at the Paris Conservatoire is Berbiguier's 5th Concertino for flute. It is, however, questionable whether this Concertino was actually performed in 1824, since it was not published until ten years later (Berbiguier published his first Concertino only in 1831). It is more likely that Joseph Guillou, flute teacher at the Conservatoire at that time, chose Berbiguier’s 5th Concerto (published in 1816) for the final flute exam.
Two of Guillou’s students, Carrière and Lauret, received a first prize in that year. Lauret, born in 1809, was 15 years old. Nothing is known about his fellow student Carrière, but he must have been the same age.
In 1818, Berbiguier wrote about the performance of a concerto:
„The CONCERTO is the piece of music that requires the most talent for execution. It is not a question, as in the SONATA, of regularly playing the value of all the notes without disturbing the measure. You have to know how to accelerate and slow down appropriately, and above all not to let the orchestra take over, which, in the TUTTI, always tends to hasten, mainly in the 2nd and 3d, since it is excited there by the solo part which, usually, to warm up the line, hurries above all a few measures before the cadence. Care must be taken to restart the 2nd SOLO in the tempo of the 1st. It is allowed to slow down in the melody, without affectation however, and to animate especially the last line.“
For this recording we use a flute from the Tibouvile Frères workshop. It was probably made in the first third of the 19th century (more info about the flute: www.flautorama.... The piano is a 1829 Pleyel.
Very lovely playing!
Excellent - very nice flute to - I think these pre 1820 French flutes are often especially nice.
They are! Some weeks ago I bought one of these (5 keys David from Dijon), after centuries of use and some repair it sounds absolutely amazing.
BRAVO! Quelle belle idée!
