This is the second instalment of Carlo Ipata's retrospective of flute concertos written in mid-18th-century Naples, when the city had claims to being one of the major musical capitals of Europe, and the so-called Neapolitan style, rooted in melody rather than counterpoint, was proving immensely influential. Written for performance at aristocratic gatherings, this is music of considerable charm, but no great depth. The most substantial work is Davide Perez's four-movement Concerto in G Major, with its two austere slow sections; the best is Antonio Palella's Concerto in the same key, which has a sinuous chromaticism that takes us into more profound territory than the rest of Ipata's material. His virtuosity is, as always, exceptional, and there's fine playing from his own period band, Auser Musici. The close recording captures Ipata's occasionally heavy breathing and the sound of his fingers tapping his flute.
