The Story
Music for all flautists
It's high time these six beguiling works by George Benjamin, William Alwyn, York Bowen, Elizabeth Maconchy and Roberto Gerhard are recognised on an equal footing with the popular French pieces which so often monopolise CDs and concert programmes of 2Oth-century flute repertoire.... Culliford is an impassioned flautist whose interpretations here are spot on. BBC Music Magazine. This CD includes some of the best known British works for flute solo and flute and piano jewels from the 20th Century. From the virtuosic Miniature Suite by York Bowen dated 1907 to the fast and acrobatic writing by George Benjamin in 1979, , this CD covers the spectrum of music for the flute enthusiast. Works by the Irish composer Elizabeth Maconchy and the Spaniard Roberto Gerhard are included in this disc. Also included is the Sonata for flute and piano by William Alwyn. Alwyn, himself an Internationally known flautist, shows off the instrument's capacity and flare. Flautist Ingrid Culliford and Pianist Dominic Saunders perform the works in this album.
