The King's Daughter tells the enchanting story of Sophia's passion for the flute. The instrument was a gift from her aunt, and the shimmering silver enchanted her from the moment she opened the case. Sophia quickly learned to play, and her music grew more beautiful with each passing day. One afternoon, her father, the king, marched into her room and said, "It is not proper for a princess to be making music. I no longer wish to hear your flute in my castle." Heartbroken, Sophia began practicing under the shade of the linden tree and the wind carried her songs to far away places. The poetic story is brought to life by the beautiful narration of opera star Jennifer Larmore and the elegant flute artistry of Natalie Schwaabe. Let Kim Maerkl's magical tale and original music take you on a fascinating listening experience.
