Niels Peter Jensen - Flute Sonatas

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 was a pupil of the famous composer Friedrich Kuhlau. He himself became a highly respected teacher, and his students included the Golden Age master J.P.E. Hartmann.

This is Dacapo’s second CD release of Niels Peter Jensen’s music – charming, virtuosic, delightful and very melodious flute sonatas.
