About this product
Theobald Böhm revolutionised the flute in the middle of the 19th century. He changed it's form and mechanics and constructed it from metals, which gave the flute a more flexible sound and new tone colors while enabling a more brilliant technique. The new flute inspired many composers, particularly in France at the beginning of the era of Modernism, which brought with it a variety of new compositional styles. With this album, I first and foremost wanted to draw attention to the panoply of compositional styles and to demonstrate how profound and full of character this music is. I would like to transcend the limits of the original instrumentation for flute and piano with my own arrangements. I want to create an entirely new sound experience and, by using the expressive capabilities of string instruments, reveal the repertoire's full potential of colors. As such, the album offers a rich palette of styles and colors. (Nathanael Carré)

For her fifth on BIS Clare Hammond has constructed an adventurous programme of twentieth and twenty-first-century variations for piano. From the imposing Chaconne by Sofia Gubaidulina, to the tender grief of Paul Hindemith's variations or Aaron Copland's bold and uncompromising proclamation, the disc presents a fresh perspective on the genre. Hammond opens with Karol Szymanowski's Variations on a Polish Theme from 1904, a virtuosic and intensely Romantic outpouring that contrasts strikingly with the wit and irreverence of Helmut Lachenmann's set on a theme by Schubert. The most recent works in the programme are Harrison Birtwistle's mercurial elegy and it's polar opposite I Still Play, a lyrical waltz composed in 2017 by John Adams. Described as 'a star interpreter of contemporary music' (The Observer), Clare Hammond has developed a reputation for imaginative concert programming. As she herself admits in her liner notes, variation form may on the surface appear to be both limiting and limited, but the works she presents here transcend the form in myriad creative, and at times daring, ways.

After her acclaimed complete recording of Beethoven's piano sonatas, Mari Kodama returns with a programme consisting of Beethoven string quartets transcribed for piano by Saint-Saens, Mussorgsky and Balakirev, as well as Beethoven's variations on the finale of Mozart's Clarinet Quintet.
