This album is the first phonographic instalment of a series of albums under the joint title Flutissima, initiated by Sylwia Kubiak-Dobrowolska. The Polish artist is accompanied in the flute concertos by Franz Benda and Saverio Mercadante by the Sinfonia Nova Orchestra conducted by Łukasz Wojakowski.

Due to its dramatic character and internal dynamics, the Concerto in E minor for flute and orchestra, which opens the album, evokes the mood of Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach's compositions. Although the music written by the Czech composer is purely instrumental, it was inspired by songs, as he often emphasised. The kind of emotionality in music he created was later recalled in works of Romantic composers.

The next item on the album is the Concerto in E minor for flute and string orchestra from 1814 by Saverio Mercadante, author of nearly sixty operas. In this piece, extremely varied in terms of colours and emotions, the Italian artist leads the listener from the dramatic beginning, brimming with virtuosity and Romantic intensity, through the atmosphere of peace permeated with boundless sadness, to the almost purely operatic finale. Although Mercadante's instrumental pieces are almost forgotten today, this recording confirms that it is worth exploring his output.
