Firma Melodiya is releasing a new album to commemorate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's 270th anniversary: "Mozart. Six Duets for Two Flutes." Recorded by flutists Andrei Malykh and Elena Platitsyna in 2025 at the Tonmeister studio in Nizhny Novgorod.
The release's main feature is the duets, published under the title Op. 75, which Mozart did not actually write. In the 19th century, publishers often created "new" pieces for home music-making, compiling and arranging existing works by famous composers. These duets for two flutes are compiled from Mozart's music—several violin sonatas (KV 377–380) and piano trios—and arranged for flute duet. According to the publisher, this is the first studio recording of this "non-existent opus."
Andrey Malykh explains the project's concept: the arrangements can sound no worse than the original thanks to the "absolutely flute-like" nature of the material and the precise interaction of the two instruments, Radio Orpheus reported on Melodiya.
