Claude Debussy: Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp (Magali Mosnier, Antoine Tamestit, Xavier de Maistre)

Instrumentation: flute, viola and harp. Debussy originally planned this sonata for flute, oboe and harp before replacing the oboe with the dusky, melancholic warmth of the viola. In this acclaimed Harmonia Mundi recording, Magali Mosnier, Antoine Tamestit and Xavier de Maistre weave gossamer textures where the woody flute, reedy viola and crystalline harp evoke ancient, mythic pastorals.
