Frederick the Great

Grave from Sonata in E minor

Greg Dikmans playing his sonorous “Quantz” flute

Recorded on 10 September 2016 at 3MBS Fine Music Melbourne.
Program: ‘Music in Melbourne’.

Greg’s “Quantz” flute is a copy of an instrument by Johann Joachim Quantz c.1740 made by Philippe Allain-Dupré (Paris, 2015).

The flute is pitched at A=392 Hz (one tone below modern pitch) and has a dark, rich, vocal quality. This was Quantz’s sound ideal.

Walking the Camino de Santiago

“I walked 12.4 kms in the morning on the way to Burgos and was the first of my group to reach San Juan de Ortega. I ate my lunch quickly so I could get some time in the church before we had to head off again.

“There was no time for thought or preparation — just put the flute together and play. I played for the sheer joy of being in such a wonderful space.

“I had about 15 minutes of almost complete silence. After that people started talking and making noises in the background. The recorded pieces are the first few I played in the order I played them.”

— Greg Dikmans (7 June 2015)
