This is the first published arrangement by the celebrated flute player Alena Walentin and it's very good indeed. The piece is a bit of a mystery. Either Vitali was way ahead of his time, or there is a mistake with his dates, as this Chaconne is clearly more technically and harmonically demanding than you might normally expect from a Baroque work. Alena has transcribed the flute part to capture all of the virtuosity that Vitali gave to the original, in the process allowing us access to an work of enormous power. Highly recommended.

Azumi AZ-S3RE Flute
Altus flutes are held in the very highest esteem by professional players and technicians the world over. Now the Altus sound is available at an affordable price, thanks to the Azumi flute.
The key to the success of the Azumi is the Altus headjoint. This is the S-cut style, handcut in Japan, which has an oval shape to the embouchure hole providing a rich and colourful sound with slightly more blowing resistance than the already hugely popular Z-cut headjoints on the Z series Azumi flutes. The S-cut headjoints are the same as those used on the Altus professional range of flutes, which pays homage to their success and popularity.
Altus' Azumi S series uses a combination of silver purities which work in harmony with the S-cut handmade headjoint to produce a stunning range of flutes.
