The piccolo has been best known as an orchestral insturment, but here is given an opportunity to listen to the piccolo as a solo instrument.

Martial Nardeau, former piccoloplayer of the Iceland Symphony Orchestra

Petrea Óskarsdóttir flute- and piccoloplayer of the North Icelandic Symphony Orchestra
