At the end of 1922, Darius Milhaud (1892 – 1974) had a dozen chamber works to his name, but that year was particularly productive. The Sonatine for flute and piano Opus 76 appeared at the heart of this creative whirlwind. Milhaud wrote it at Aix-en-Provence and it was premiered in Paris on 18 January 1923 by its two dedicatees, Louis Fleury and Jean Wiéner, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées,as part of the “Cinquième Concert Jean Wiéner.”.

Fresh from the success of his Sonata for Flute and Piano (114-40463), and with some prodding by Sir James Galway, Liebermann went on to produce a trifecta of flute concerti - the Concerto for Flute and Orchestra (416-41186), the Concerto for Piccolo and Orchestra (416-41174), and, here, the Concerto for Flute, Harp, and Orchestra. Commissioned by harpist Hyun Sun Na, the Florida Philharmonic Orchestra, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Cincinnati Symphony, and the Dallas Symphony, the Concerto was given its world premiere in 1995 by Galway (flute), Kathy Kienzel (harp), and the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Edo de Waart. The Concerto's premiere recording was by Galway (flute), Hyun Sun Na (harp), and the London Mozart Players conducted by Lowell Liebermann.
