About

Kenneth Smith and Paul Rhodes here present a wonderful disc of English flute & piano music. It is believed that the pieces from Havelock Nelson and Thomas Dunhill are first recordings. The Alwyn Sonata is from a manuscript provided by the Cambridge University Library and is also thought to be the first recording of this version. Kenneth Leighton’s flute sonata is also little known and no other recording is listed in the Muze/Gramophone Classical Catalogue.

Kenneth Smith has won and continues to win many admirers who follow the Philharmonia Orchestra on disc and on the concert platform throughout the world, his individual tone and superior quality of sound having developed under the guidance of such eminent musicians as Aurele Nicolet, James Galway and the almost legendary Marcel Moyse.

A has a steadily increasing solo discography whilst his partnership with the pianist Paul Rhodes has already recorded seven albums of music for flute and piano - three of them devoted to music by British composers and the others embracing many of the major works in the flute repertoire along with several virtuoso showpieces, some neglected gems and a selection of the artists' own colourful and frequently broadcast arrangements of classical favourites.

Paul Rhodes has been described in the press as “an impeccable accompanist – a model of style and refinement, with a sensitivity that allows the soloist to shine whilst providing total musical support”. He divides his time between performing, teaching and examining. His recitals with various principal soloists from the major London orchestras have received much critical acclaim. Paul has featured in numerous recordings and broadcasts with Kenneth Smith in a musical partnership that is now almost in its twentieth year.
