Do not be fooled by the flamboyant art work! Pahud's project is worthy of the Court of Frederick the Great; his playing is heart-felt and inspiring. His subtle and sensitive playing is just perfect for the artists on this disc which have a great range from the predictable inclusions like CPE Bach and Quantz but also some surprise treats like works by Agricola, who was JS Bach's student and Princess Anna Amalia, who was friends with Friedemann Bach, neither of which I have found elsewhere and both are highlights of the cd. Frederick the Great's music is also represented well with a sonata and concerto by him.
The set is 2 cds, one of sonatas and one of concertos; both are equally impressive, and both are important for several reasons. Within the sonatas disc there is an opening performance of the trio written by JS Bach for Frederick the Great, based in the Musical Offering. Now, I have to admit that most recordings of this piece leave me cold; as if it were an overly academic work. Not so here. Pahud has realised Bach's perfectly regal cut in this performance which lends great warmth and mystery and indeed majesty to the iconic work.Stirring the senses thus, the flautist continues to impress all the way through will excellent and consistent playing. The flute concerto by Benda in E minor is the best I have heard, an almost intergalactic performance here, and even the CPE Bach concertos for the same instrument, although I am overly familiar with them, made me feel as if I had never heard them before, which is quite something. The ebullience from both the flautist and the orchestra make for a perfect combination, winning truly galant pathos. Sound quality is also excellent. Pahud reaches some sublime heights here, and I think one of the best performances is of CPE Bach's solos for flute, where mystical elements combine in his flute to create a very tender rendition of these pieces.
If you enjoy the flute, this is a must purchase even if you have other performances of the work. A superb collection of the finest from the Court of Frederick the Great. Pinnock on the harpsichord.

The Flute King is an axcellent CD. It exposes king Frederik the great as also a great composer and flute player. The pieces on the CD are often ofvirtuoso quality and the sound is perfect.
Emmanuel Pahud plays with a dynamic sound and his phrasing is adorable. He is very crisp and strong in the high octave and still very controlled.
For flute lovers this CD is a must, but be prepared that you must listen to it several times before you really fall in love with the various themes.
