Adam Swanson - Jazz Nocturne - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Principal flute of the London Symphony Orchestra, Adam Walker presents a recital of alternately lyric and dynamic music for flute and piano. A lovelorn song from Die schone Mullerin forms the basis of a set of variations by Schubert, and reflective songs without words by Poulenc and Barber offer mellifluous contrast with the dancing energy of Bartok, Messiaen and Poulenc. Album Tracks 1. Flute Sonata 2. Vocalise-Etude 3. Leçons de Solfège 4. Suite Paysanne Hongroise 5. Canzone 6. Introduction and Variations in E minor, Op. Posth. 160 on 'Trockne Blumen' from 'Die Schöne Müllerin'

Life changes. Feelings change. Music changes. Sometimes, you reach a turning point of some kind. Whenever this happens, the story of your life depends on where you begin and end the chapters. Are things changing for the better or for the worse, or both, or neither? We might not know until we see everything in retrospect, and even then we might not be quite sure. But in the end, these turning points define our stories. Recorded in just one day this music tries to catch an emotion that was fleeting in the air. It came about both with ease and through struggle.
