Marina Piccinini - Otar Taktakishvili: Sonata for Flute & Piano in C Major

Artist's playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM3h5bhqHqA&list=PLy5IRCYvmbSwBLHB_yhFqgVd-XWl-CgCa Otar Taktakishvili (1924-1989) Sonata for Flute & Piano in C Major Marina Piccinini, flute Eva Kupiec, piano 1. 00:00 Allegro cantabile 2. 05:52 Aria: Moderato con moto 3. 10:36 Allegro scherzando Following the acclaimed release of her first recording for Claves, Flute Recital «Belle Epoque», virtuoso Marina Piccinini now presents a recording featuring brilliant works from the 20th century for flute and piano with an accent on Eastern Europe. While the flute may have evoked ancient Greece or a brilliant salon for the French school of composers, in Eastern Europe it has always been a folk instrument, and that aspect predominates in this recording. It is true that the works titled «Sonata» by Taktakishvili and Martinu are models of neoclassical sonata form, but under their traditional forms and balanced themes beats the heart of a culture that is rooted well east of Vienna. Paul Arma's setting of Béla Bartók's 15 Hungarian Peasant Songs captures all the moods of his teacher's collection ranging from tender to whimsical to lively to nostalgic. Erno von Dohnányi's Aria for Flute and Piano is redolent with the sensuous sounds of Borodin or Rachmaninov, an amorous nocturne. And Erwin Schulhoff's Sonata for Flute and Piano, composed in 1927, combines the insouciant air of the Parisian «Six» with a genuine affection for Czech tunes and rhythms. Flutist Marina Piccinini is widely recognized as one of the world's leading young flute virtuosos. She combines flawless technical command, profound interpretive instincts and a charismatic stage presence -- qualities that make each of her performances a memorable event. In the words of Bernard Holland, chief music critic for The New York Times, Ms. Piccinini is «...an absolutely first-rate player... a musician who hears and understands with great intelligence». http://www.claves.ch Chamber category: http://www.claves.ch/collections/chamber All the albums of Marina Piccinini: http://www.claves.ch/collections/marina-piccinini Album N°: CD 50-2105 EAN: 7619931210520 _________________ Find more : http://www.claves.ch/collections/flute/products/cd-2105 Contact us: info[at]claves.ch / +41 21 721 13 66 Press: presse[at]claves.ch We are on the most famous digital stores ! iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/ch/album/flute-recital-eastern-europe/id570113847?l=fr eMusic: http://www.emusic.com/album/marina-piccinini-eva-kupiec/flute-recital/13650857/ Qobuz: http://www.qobuz.com/album/marina-piccinini-flute-recital-eastern-europe-20th-century-music/0829410506861 Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/album/6cXbuS24ZYj4vgIhDBpmW5 Deezer: http://www.deezer.com/album/6011578 .. _________________ EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Claves records RECORDING Tritonus Musikproduktion GmbH, Stuttgart RECORDING ENGINEER Peter Laenger PUBLICIST Hemsing Associates, New-York MANAGEMENT Herbert Barrett Management, New York PIANO Steinway & Sons COVER GRAPHICS Christoph Dütschler, Bern COVER PHOTOGRAPH Christian Steiner BOOKLET SUPERVISION, LAYOUT & DESIGN Mark Manion, Bern © 2001 Claves Records SA, Pully (Switzerland) Recorded at Festeburgkirche, Frankfurt a.M, 26-28 February 2001 _________________ Do you want to synch that?
