Repertoire
Program 1 - Portraits of flutes
DuoKaleidoscope presents a colourful journey encompassing three centuries, with masterpieces for the flute from the Renaissance to the present. Presented on the period instruments for which the pieces were originally written, the character of each piece is expressed to the fullest.
In this program you can experience how many composers have been inspired by the flutes of their time. Through widely contrasting pieces - a balanced sonata, a fanciful fantasy, and a strict canon - poetic miniatures and the Zen sounds of Takemitsu are heard alongside French Baroque dances ranging from stately to swinging.

Program 3 - The Bach family. Like father, like son?
This programme contains works for solo flute, two flutes and basso continuo, and also features a harpsichordist and viola da gamba-player.
Johann Sebastian Bach represents a widely-acknowledged peak in Baroque music. We forget all too easily that his contemporaries, unused to the rich harmonies and complex polyphony that he used, considered his compositions to be very headstrong, however. Bach did not seem to care; aloof of trends, he went his own way. His sons, too, were distinctive composers. Carl Philipp Emanuel wrote music with his heart on his sleeve; in his sonatas and fantasies moods can change suddenly, and his music is full of surprises. Wilhelm Friedemann Bach was the eldest son and the most introverted of the family - by contrast, he expressed himself in very subtle compositions. DuoKaleidoscope presents music from these three individualists in a fascinating family portrait.

Program 4 - The age of reason
Works for two flutes (traversos) from the second half of the eighteenth century.
In 1750 the time of the Enlightenment began. Reason - not faith - came to be considered as the ideal guide for our existence. Enthusiastic artists beat new paths, and individualism conquered all. DuoKaleidoscope plays compositions from a period spanning just half a century (1750-1800), in a very varied programme.
The Duet for two flutes by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Johann Sebastian's wayward son, is particularly unique, and stylistically he went down a completely different path to his father. This did not dissuade Johann Sebastian from helping his son however, as can be seen in the original score, when he added and erased some notes at the end of the second movement. The wide selection of 'sing-alongs' from Die Zauberflöte is also worth noting; the arrangement was published in 1792, just after the death of the composer.
