Description
André Jolivet’s “Chant de Linos,� a highly expressive song of lament composed as a tonally virtuosic competition piece, impressively concludes this entertaining SACD portrait bringing together the flute soloist Helen Dabringhaus and her piano partner Sebastian Berakdar.
Schubert’s “Trockene Blumen� and Bartók’s “Suite paysanne hongroise� form other highlights, both feared and loved, of the flute literature: here they encounter the moderated
modernism of Hosokawa’s magical tones and – in its recording premiere – Carl Frühling’s romantic “Fantasie,� which is extant only in this piano version.
