Through the compositions presented here, J.C. Maltot reveals himself to be a perfect connoisseur of the lyrical repertoire and offers flautists new demanding pieces, combining sensitivity and virtuosity, requiring masterful technique from the performer. By bringing up to date this musical genre which reached its peak in the 19th century, J.C. Maltot happily enriches and expands the repertoire. His creations have already attracted various soloists, such as Hélène Boulègue for Fantaisie sur Tosca and Julien Beaudiment for the Paraphrase on Mazeppa and the Fantaisie sur La Bohème will be required in the entrance exam for a license at the CNSM in Lyon.
