How sweet a thing it is to wear a crown,
Within whose circuit is Elysium
And all that poets feign of bliss and joy!

Johann Joachim Quantz:
Flute Concertos
Subtle tension is spun through carefully measured emphasis and silence, and all with a hugely sensitive chamber awareness between ensemble and soloist.
Following critical acclaim for their series of duo recordings for violin and flute on the theme of The Art of Elegant Conversation, period instrument group the Elysium Ensemble returns to Resonus with an expanded lineup to present an arresting and vibrant new recording of flute concertos by the Baroque composer Johann Joachim Quantz.
With Elysium founders Greg Dikmans (flute) and Lucinda Moon (violin) as soloist and leader, the Ensemble breathes fresh new life into these striking and beautifully crafted works with performances that are at once filled with a compelling spirit and warmth.
