I'm spoiling you lot with guests at the moment, as for the second successive week we have one on the podcast, and this one is an actual flute player!

Hot off the back off his TWO debut solo albums, I sit down with Spanish flutist Juan Cossío to sip on Sangria and talk flute.

We'll be chatting about Juan's two albums featuring the music of Kummer and Henkel, his experiences studying with Jacques Zoon and Robert Winn and he even weights in to the Inline vs Offset G debate.

We wind it up with some flute games, with Juan trying to guess the flutist from 10 recordings and then to guess the piece based off a flutey excerpt. Have a listen and see if you can beat him to it.

The chapters of the episode are down below if you want to see what's on the menu for today.

And, if you want to chat more, he's all my socials, I'd love to hear from you!

You can find Juan on IG too @cossioflute

As for his albums, they're available on all the usual streaming platforms, just search for Juan Cossio!

The excerpt from today's clip is track number 32 from his first album, "Juan Cossio plays Gaspard Kummer, Complete works for flute and guitar," and is the fourth of Six Divertiseements from op.70.
