Philippe Gaubert enjoyed a glittering career as one of France’s leading flautists of the early C20th. He composed throughout his life and is perhaps best known for his flute sonatas, performed here with masterful technique by Kathryn Thomas who captures the delicate essence of the genre to great effect.

The Trios on this recording for flute, piano and cello (with Phoebe Scott) are beautiful examples of impressionism in music. They portray glimpses of the composer’s idyllic rural vision spiced with an unstoppable joie de vivre.

Some composers reveal little of their personality in the music they write but this is not the case with Gaubert. The music for flute shows him to be charming, passionate and poetic in turns.
