Ferdinand Ries' chamber musics are on revival. His string quartets are well recorded. For Flute Quartets, we actually already have a full set of them. However, Ardinghello Ensemble put in another two flute quartets for our listening pleasure. This CD contained two flute quartets, in D minor and C Major, and also a string trio. We got to know more about Ferdinand Ries, who very closed associated to Beethoven as he was the pupil of the maestro.

Here are some review taken from internet :

If the number of compositions written for a specific instrument is any indication of a predilection, then Ferdinand Ries did indeed have a soft place in his heart for the flute. He penned no fewer than six quartets for flute and string trio, a quintet for flute, violin, two violas, and violoncello, a trio for piano, flute, and violoncello, and many works for flute and piano (sonatas, fantasies, a divertimento, and a notturno) – more works than for any other wind instrument. His first Flute Quartet presents itself as a grand, imposing quartet in the affirmative key of C major and contains many surprising elements. Here too, as already in his symphonies and string quartets, Ries proves to be an entirely independent and original composer – despite his close association with Beethoven. The Ardinghello Ensemble adheres undogmatically to historically informed performance practice. Karl Kaiser plays transverse flutes from the early nineteenth century. The string players perform on instruments with stringing and bows from around 1820.

Giovanni Paisiello is one of Italian Neopolitan of School composer. He composed several chamber music as in string quartets and flute quartets. These flute quartets from Opus 23 actually had been recorded many years ago. Ensemble Il Demetria from Pavia Italy is the one that brings us the new record. Here the CD notes:

Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816) is one of the key composers of the Neapolitan School, primarily famous for his vast amount of operas written when in the service of Ferdinand IV of Naples.

Paisiello’s instrumental output is also substantial, and it was written for the ever growing bourgeoisie, for domestic use by advanced amateurs. His 6 Flute Quartets are delightful works, full of charming, sunny melodies and sparkling virtuosity, in the true tradition of the Neapolitan School, as comparable with Cimarosa and Guglielmi.

The Italian ensemble Il Demetrio specialises in Baroque and Early Classical music, playing on authentic instruments.

Ensemble Il Demetrio:
Gabriele Formenti (flute), Elisa Bestetti (violin), Maurizio Schiavo (viola) & Antonio Papetti (cello)

Kim Scott - Southern Heat (2016)

New Flute smooth jazz album review 2016 - by flutediary.blogspot.com

Southern Heat is the third full length studio album from Kim Scott. Flutist Kim Scoot hailed as a new smooth jazz soloist, straight up from the state of Alabama. She started her fame in her previous two albums, "Rite of Passage" and "Crossing Over". These two albums were a success for Kim, and thus Southern Heat is much waited third album for her fans.  She claimed that : "My previous albums were chock full of me playing melodies, which was cool – but here my goal was to do a hot album with a mix of uplifting originals and cover tunes people would dance to."

The albums started with a famous Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean". Kim had totally converted this hits into smooth jazz version, with the flute taken over the voice lines. As the nature of the song, this flow smoothly and those who young enough to not recognize the song will directly thinking that this an original song designated for flute. "Fantastic Voyage" is vocal song, with flute roled as supporting / duet instruments. Kim Scott's voice sounds right with this R/B song. The flagship song is "Sizzle", a totally smooth jazz tunes with energetic groove. The flute laid on top of the thematic riff with virtuosity.

Interesting turn of event is "Forgiveness" where the flute is a highlighted duet together with acoustic guitar in ballad mode. Felt the solemn for once in this otherwise juicy jazzy album. As mentioned in the official editorial, "Glorious" is hot Latin nuance song, supposedly by origin of Martha Munizzi. And there are other songs that very likely to heathen up your day with Kim's flute playing.

Southern Heat is tasty flute smooth jazz album to fill the void of 2016's release. Kim Scott is one of today's generation of female flute artist, in the same boat as Althea Rene. She actually shared quite a similar styles to Althea, but with her other specialty in singing, the different should be tell-able. Those who waiting for quality flute smooth jazz album, here is the nice one to have.

Editorial Review:
Well known for her unique, hauntingly beautiful tone, Flutist Kim Scott amps things up considerably on her debut CD for Innervision Records, Southern Heat produced by Kelvin Wooten, whose credits include contemporary R&B greats Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige and Chrisette Michele. It includes wild, infectious re-imaginings of R&B classics like MJ's "Billie Jean" and Lakeside's otherworldly "Fantastic Voyage", and a fiery Latin jam of Martha Munizzi's gospel hit "Glorious". Southern Heat also features a batch of soulful, inspiring originals (all co-penned by Kim) that show case her virtuosity as a flutist and increasing presence as a lead vocalist. Among these are the elegant, spiritual minded ballad "Forgiveness", the exotic, deep bass slow-jam "Two Become One" and the trippy and edgy trance-soul tune "What You STANK About This? The set closes with a "Stank Remix" of that last son called "Groove With Me" that comes alive with Stephen Strickland's rap and instruction on some new hip-hop dance steps created by Kim.

The title of her latest hit, the edgy, brass and funk fired "Sizzle" - featuring the dynamic trumpet of co-writer Lin Rountree - has become a self-fulfilling prophecy, as the lead single from Southern Heat was also a Top 20 hit on the National Smooth Jazz Airplay Chart.
