Emmanuel Pahud, principal flutist of the Berliner Philharmoniker, celebrates the 300th birthday of Frederick the Great with a concert recorded in the historic Royal Theatre of the Neues Palais Potsdam, one of the architectural gems within the world-heritage palace ensemble of Sanssouci built by the Prussian king.

Trevor Pinnock is one of the pioneers of the modern revival of early music performance and he appears as a guest conductor with many of the world's leading symphony orchestras. Emmanuel Pahud is one of today's most exciting and adventurous musicians. Accompanied by the Kammerakademie Potsdam, Pahud and Pinnock perform works by CPE Bach, Franz Benda, Johann Joachim Quantz and a composition written by Frederick the Great himself.

“A fascinating snap-shot of the mid-18th century Berlin court.” - BBC Music Magazine

“One doesn’t know what to admire most about this flutist: the musical intelligence, the finesse, the sumptuous sound or the multitude of colours” - Diapason on Emmanuel Pahud
