The Flanders Recorder Quartet is going to finish its career in 2018. While these news spread quickly among the recorder aficionados and create a huge interest in their final world tour, this famous ensemble again releases a unique record. This CD is an anthology of five hundred years of music history in a nutshell, combining the intimate sonority of old masterpieces with a touch of jazz by contemporary composers. But in contrast to previous recordings, the quartet has chosen from the substantial pile of five-voice music that music literature has been spoiled with and invited a revered colleague to join its ranks: Saskia Coolen.
