This recording presents the complete flute music of the British
composer, Brian Ferneyhough. These remarkable compositions set a
new standard for flute players–one that requires the comprehension
of a highly developed notation which present technical complexities
that have no equal in the world of classical flute music. The
performances on this CD are approved by the composer (a rarity!) who
worked for several years with Icelandic flute virtuoso Kolbeinn
Bjarnason on the interpretation of these compositions. The music
ranges from the ear-opening Superscriptio for piccolo to the
incredibly sensual Mnemosyne, for bass flute solo, with 8 bass
flutes accompanying. Ferneyhough's reputation for writing the
impossible is dispelled by the concentrated musicality of
Bjarnason's uncommonly fine flute playing. |
