Doppler Effect
by Duo Viva: Alice Lenaghan and Mihoko Watanabe
(Sacramento, CA and Oshkosh, WI)
Drawing on their separate experiences allows them to explore the flute duet repertoire and perform together with vibrancy and energy.
Duo Viva has been performing together for over ten years, often featured at the NFA Exhibitor’s Showcase Concerts. In 2007, they have been invited to perform their rendition of Fauré’s Fantasie for Two Flutes and Piano at the NFA convention and continue to have successful concert appearances performing their themed recital, Doppler Effect.
Their first CD, Doppler Effect, features flute duets plus piano by:
Doppler (Momories of Prague and Andante and Rondo)
Briccialdi (Carnival of Venice).
Flute duets by:
Telemann (Canonic Sonata in D Major)
Naudot (Sonata in B Minor)
Solo flute works by:
Ervin Monroe (The Flutist's Life)
Karg-Elert (Appassionata Sonata)
A version of the famous Faure Fantasy, arranged for 2 flutes and piano by Louis Moyse.
And finally, a new setting of Adrienne Albert's "Doppler Effect" for flute, alto flute and piano commissioned by Duo Viva.
