The flute, one of the most versatile instruments of all, is the focus of the new GENUIN CD by Japanese flutist Atsuko Koga. The winner of international competitions presents a distinctive mixture of original compositions and arrangements together with cellist Georgiy Lomakov that range from Telemann and Beethoven to Villa-Lobos and world premiere recordings by Minako Tokuyama. Whether it is birdsong, soulful cantilenas, virtuoso passagework, or noisy musical magic, the choice of works and the clear, vibrant interpretations of the two artists demonstrate the flute's and cello's many facets.

[T]his is an intriguing programme, superbly played by Japanese flautist Atsuko Koga (...) Her playing has an infectious buoyancy which elevates even the rather ponderous Karg-Elert Chaconne into something quite delicate. (...) Koga’s duo partner (...) Georgiy Lomakov (...) is the perfect foil to Koga’s brisk and airy style of playing.
