Just added to Martin Doyle Flutes<\/a>: three music samples from Elizabeth Petcu’s debut solo flute album, Just Me<\/em>. Elizabeth Petcu<\/a> is a good friend of Martin Doyle’s who lives in Bray, County Wicklow. They also constitute two thirds of the music trio Rune.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth Petcu’s debut album, Just Me.<\/p><\/div>\n

Former Principal Flute (25+ years) with the RTE Concert Orchestra<\/a>, Elizabeth Petcu studied with Professor Doris Keogh at The Royal Irish Academy of Music<\/a> in Dublin. She has an honours music degree from Trinity College Dublin<\/a> and holds a Masters in Music Therapy from the University of Limerick<\/a>. Just Me is a distillation of all these experiences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fourteen tracks that comprise Just Me<\/em> were recorded at the acoustically exceptional Calary Church<\/a> near Roundwood<\/a> in County Wicklow<\/a> and the album is a lovely interpretation of Elizabeth’s favourite repertoire.<\/p>\n

Elizabeth recorded Just Me<\/em> on a Muramatsu concert flute<\/a> fitted with a wooden headjoint<\/a> and a keyless simple system Irish flute<\/a>. Both the wooden headjoint and the Irish flute were made by Martin Doyle<\/a>. The three tracks that have been added to Martin Doyle’s website are those that Elizabeth recorded using her Martin Doyle keyless Irish flute.<\/p>\n

The two Telemann tracks are particularly worth noting as they were technically challenging in that Elizabeth decided to perform them on her Martin Doyle keyless simple system flute – just six open holes with lots of half-holing and cross fingering \u2013 quite an accomplishment! Throughout this album, Elizabeth Petcu exhibits her capacity as a mature flute player of great technical capacity that is coupled to a heart-felt passion and sensitivity for her selection. Just Me<\/em>Debussy, Telemann<\/a>, Bozza<\/a>, Bach<\/a>, Ibert<\/a>, Honegger<\/a>, Bates<\/a> and Karg-Elert<\/a> – with a traditional Irish air as a fitting finale.<\/p>\n

The three tracks can be heard here: Flute Music – Elizabeth Petcu \u00bb<\/a><\/p>\n

Our gratitude to Elizabeth Petcu for her kind permission to display these tracks.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
