Triple Treble

Format: CD
Release date: January 2003

On this CD, Marina Klunder (Treble recorder) and Gini Tamboer (Piano) have recorded Lennox Berkeley's Sonatina Op 13. Works by other 20th Century composers (Hans-George Burghardt and Herbert Baumann) are also included. The Berkeley Sonatina is more often played on the flute (notably by James Galway), but it was written for the recorder player Carl Dolmetsch in 1939. So this CD provides the opportunity to hear the work played as originally intended.

• Sonatina (op. 13)

Performed by Marina Klunder (treble recorder) & Gini Tamboer (piano)
