Cantilena is an exciting flute and piano duo with a fast-rising reputation. It was founded in 2007 by Odinn Baldvinsson (flute) and Patricia Romero (piano), both distinguished performers in their own right. Their repertoire is an eclectic mix of the well-known and the rarely-heard, ranging from Bach and Mozart to Piazzolla and Martinů. The duo has chiefly performed around southern England.

Flautist Odinn Baldvinsson made his debut in Reykjavik and has performed in many major London venues, while Patricia Romero made her name with a two–concert performance of Ravel’s complete piano works at the Purcell Room.

Their programmes have fascinated and delighted audiences in equal measure. This second album from the duo covers some of the more important works of the French repertoire for the flute, as well as a beautiful Sonata by the Georgian composer Taktakishvili, and concludes with the first recording by flute and piano of Piazzolla’s Histoire du Tango.
