OUR Recordings congratulates recorder virtuoso Michala Petri on her 40th season as a performing artist.
Together with long-time duo partner, guitarist Lars Hannibal, she performs a programme of rare and enchanting 19th century works for Recorder evoking the convivial charm of a Viennese coffee house c. 1800.
Michala Petri has done great things for the recorder, helping to bring it back centre-stage after its 19th-century eclipse by the flute and clarinet, and here she takes the process on further. BBC Music Magazine, April 2010 *****
