Emmanuel Pahud - Solo - 2018 FLAC 24-48

Emmanuel Pahud is one of the truly great flautists. With this gorgeous recital, he proves himself a magical programmer, too, intertwining Baroque composer Telemann’s 12 Fantasias with lesser-known works written between 1917 and 2017. Pahud’s rich, lucid tone caresses Telemann’s timeless miniatures as it does Arvo Pärt’s stunningly simple Estländler, Ferroud’s exotic Impressionist jewels, or Takemitsu’s floating, meandering Air. Music by Nielsen, Berio, Honegger, and a startling, wild, virtuosic work by Pintscher give us a colourful window onto a lesser-explored musical landscape, brought to a wondrous close by Marais’ Les Folies d’Espagne variations.
