N.P. JENSEN
Flute Duets
Marcelo Barboza, flute
Rune Most, flute


Niels Peter Jensen (1802-1846) is a fascinating figure from the Danish Golden Age. He was blind, but became an acknowledged flute virtuoso and obtained an official post as a church organist. Jensen collaborated with many of the great artists of the Golden Age, and his teacher was the famous Friedrich Kuhlau. He himself became a highly respected teacher, and his pupils included the national composer J.P.E. Hartmann. This is the first CD of Niels Peter Jensen´s music - charming, delightful and very melodious flute duets.

Many CDs make me want to dance, but this one made me want to play the music, so skillfully does it sell the repertoire. This is definitely a CD that I would love to have recorded and a sure candidate for this year’s Want List.

A beautifully recorded, performed and presented release from Dacapo. Jensen’s music deserves further investigation so I am on the lookout for new releases.

Rune Most and Marcelo Barboza are a fine team indeed, displaying excellent intonation, a refined sense of musical structure and line and an obvious esprit de corps. Their give and take is such that the interchange of lines is seamless and elegant.

Der er en charmerende mozarsk tone over passager i musikken, oversat til den lille guldalderby København, og hele historien bag er såre interessant - menneskeligt og kulturhistorisk.
(**** Århus Stifttidende)

I Rune Most og Marcelo Barboza er der fundet to, som gør disse indspilninger til en sympatisk og fascinerende oplevelse.

Charmerende og indtagende musik!
