Concerto In C Major For Two Flutes & Cembalo / Trio No. 2 For Two Flutes & Cello / Quartet For Two Flutes, Viola & Cello

Released in 1978 on the Summit label, this record serves as an anthology of late Baroque and Classical chamber works. It showcases the versatility of the flute in ensemble settings, featuring compositions by Antonio Vivaldi, Joseph Haydn, and Johann Christian Bach. The recordings were conducted by Alessandro Scarone and performed by the Chamber Orchestra di Spoleto, an ensemble frequently associated with highlighting the Italian chamber tradition during the mid-20th century.

The album was produced during a period when smaller independent labels were actively cataloging European classical chamber music for international distribution. The design follows the minimalist aesthetic common to Summit’s releases of the era, focusing on the clarity of the instrumentation and the prestige of the composers involved. It was intended for listeners seeking refined, period-appropriate interpretations of flute literature rather than experimental or high-concept arrangements.
