Vasks: Flute Concerto, Flute Sonata, Aria E Danza / Faust, Arnold, Gallois
Renowned for its luminosity and searing expressiveness, the music of Lithuanian composer P?teris Vasks frequently explores the relationship between nature and humanity, not least in the Flute Concerto written for Michael Faust, which is among the most expansive of Vasksâ orchestral works. Abstract qualities in the Sonata contrast with the deftly defined lyrical and rhythmic elements of Aria e danza, while Landscape with Birds exploits the entirety of the fluteâs timbral range. Patrick Gallois and âthe brilliant Michael Faustâ (MusicWeb International) have also recorded the music of Mauricio Kagel (Naxos 8.572635).
