“prodigiously talented, young creator, surely ranks as one of the most enjoyable additions in many years to classical music’s vast repertoire, characteristic Vivaldian vibrancy Il Flauto Dolce is a compulsory acquisition – pronto!”
– Sunday Herald Sun (Melbourne).
An instrumental opera for recorder and orchestra. An original concept conceived by and starring Australian virtuoso recorder player, Genevieve Lacey, taking segments from both vocal and instrumental works by Vivaldi to create a ‘pasticcio’, in this case a sort of opera without words.
