- Composer: Theodorus Hendricus Hubertus Verhey (10 June 1848 -- 28 January 1929) - Performers: Sébastian Jacot (flute), Nicolas Leroy (piano) - Year of recording: 2010 (live, Conservatoire de Genève, Switzerland) Flute Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 43, written in 1898. 00:00 - I. Allegro non troppo 04:34 - II. Andantino 07:38 - III. Allegro alla zingarese In this recording the version for Flute & Piano is played, instead of the version for Flute & Orchestra. This flute concerto by Dutch composer Verhey is a pretty show-piece for the flute, with many virtuosic passages (fast chromatic passages, leaps, etc.) especially in the last movement. The piece itself can admired for a strong melodic content, with many very memorable themes. The Flute Concerto is dedicated: “Herrn Ary van Leeuwen freundschaftlichst gewidmet“.
