Product Description

The Harris-Coates Duo turns to evocative, contemporary repertoire on their third CD release with premiere recordings by Salvador Brotons, Daniel Dorff and Jean-Michel Damase (American recording premiere). These pieces were all premiered by the Harris-Coates Duo at the 2001 National Flute Association convention in Dallas, TX. Other works on the CD include a new transcription of American composer Charles T. Griffes' "The White Peacock." This piece, originally written for piano in 1915 and later scored by Griffes for full orchestra, was transcribed and arranged by Mike Coates for flute, guitar and bassoon -- this recording features guest artist Russell Peterson on bassoon.

From featured invitational performances--at such events as the 2001 and 1998 National Flute Conventions (Dallas and Phoenix) and the 1999 College Music Society Convention in Denver--to compact disc recordings, intimate recitals, and master classes, the past ten years have seen the Harris-Coates Duo amaze audiences with their sheer beauty of sound, technical virtuosity, and effortless ensemble.

The Harris-Coates Duo has two other CD releases on Barking Dog Records, also available on Amazon, "Reverie" (1997) and "Dances in the Madhouse" (2000).
