This album aims to encompass on two CDs Beethoven's flute works, both those catalogued by opus number and those classified posthumously with the acronym WoO. This choice is intended to highlight those compositions too often dismissed as incapable of reflecting the Romantic image of Beethoven's character. These compositions are often ignored in concert programs, depriving us of the pleasure of glimpsing and appreciating, within compositional situations that are pleasant and "simple" to listen to, the original nature of Beethoven's character.

ENGLISH VERSION

This 2 Cds album aims to gather Beethoven's works for flute, whether they are cataloged with the opus number or classified after his death under the abbreviation WoO. This choice is going to enhance those compositions which have too often been dismissed as not reflecting the romantic image of Beethoven's character, and have been disregarded in the theater programmes, thus depriving us of the pleasure of imagining and appreciating the true nature of Beethoven's personality in compositions that are pleasant and “simple” to listen to.
