The flute instrument is closely associated with the Prussian King Frederick the Great and his residence Sanssouci, as the Prussian king was a passionate flautist and numerous works were composed for him.

For the recorder player Isaac Makhdoomi, it is a special challenge to transfer these works, which were actually composed for a transverse flute, to his instrument. The idea behind this was to bring new aspects and facets to the works originally composed for the transverse flute, which he actually succeeds in doing brilliantly.

A Swiss recorder player with Indian roots, Isaac Makhdoomi presents this new recording with the Piccante Baroque Orchestra, skilfully introducing us to the works from Sanssouci.
