The two works presented here are the last of six that Abel composed in the years preceding his arrival in London and are a worthy edition to the early classical concerto repertoire currently available...much thought has gone into the publication's presentation - the format is clear, as is the piano reduction, and there's a rather dashing Gainsborough portrait if the composer on the cover.

A welcome new arrival to the flute repertoire...The six concertos in Op.6 were apparently unpublished during Abel's lifetime, and it is thanks to the efforts of flautist Edward Beckett that we now have this beautiful printed edition... a special mention must be given to the slow movement of the fourth concerto in C: it is breathtakingly beautiful. The excellent piano reduction is by internationally-acclaimed harpsichordist Robert Aldwinckle. Highly recommended for the grade 8-plus performer.
