The painter Caspar David Friedrich, poets and writers such as Heinrich Heine, Wilhelm Müller and Joseph Victor von Scheffel, composers Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler and countless other artists tried to express their innermost feeling of Wanderlust through different aspects of their art. The flutists of the period joined them in this endeavour. After the flutistically rich Baroque and Classical period, the romantic XIX. century left a gap in the flute repertoire. With rare exceptions (Schubert, Reinecke, Widor et al.), the major composers did not focus their genius on writing for one of todays most popular instruments. Eventually the XX. century and Impressionism brought a revival. The flute grew popular as a solo instrument, a trend which continues strongly in the XXI. century. This lack of romantic repertoire was probably the reason that flutists of the period were forced to take matters into their own hands - and start composing. Most of them were throughly trained in the art of music, inspired by virtuosos such as Paganini, Chopin and Liszt, and they started to create a specific style of salon music. In fact the style was so specific, it became a cliché for the flutist of the time to be represented as playing fast acrobatic passages and sentimental melodies. That may have been the case at the time, nonetheless this instrumentally progressive composing enriched and developed the technical aspects of flute playing. It prompted inventors like Theobald Boehm to invent new systems of mechanics for the flute so that it challenged the established virtuoso instruments such as violin and piano. Without these pioneers of flute virtuosity, there would probably have been no renaissance of the instrument later on. At the same time this is "feel good" music which is easy to listen to and this CD is a homage to all the colleagues who tried to make their art and their living with it. Rudolf Tillmetz +••.••(...)) was a child prodigy on the flute. His concert career began already when he was eleven years old. At seventeen he joined the Court orchestra in Munich, where he performed for example at the premiere of Wagner's Parsifal. Later he became a professor at the Royal Academy in Munich. Although he spent most of his life in Munich, Tillmetz was, along with Paul Taffanel, one of the most famous flutists in Europe. His intricate compositions lean mainly towards the past, as can be heard in the virtuosic and folkloristic writing of the Ungarische Phantasie (Hungarian fantasy) - one also detects however the influence of his celebrated contemporary Richard Wagner in some of the bold harmonic modulations, as in his melancholic nocturne Es will Abend werden (The shades of night are a falling).
