Konsertþrenna með Emmanuel Pahud

France has had a special relationship with the flute since the time of Louis XIV and his court composer Jean-Baptiste Lully. In the latter part of the 19th century, the flautist Paul Taffanel (1844-1908) became a prominent figure, notable for the technical and stylistic sophistication of his playing; Professor of Flute at the Paris Conservatoire from 1893, he is seen as the father of the modern school of French flute-playing.

This double album also features clarinettist Paul Meyer, bassoonist Gilbert Audin, horn-player Radovan Vlatković, and Belgian harpist Anneleen Lenaerts.

Emmanuel Pahud is one of the foremost flautists of our time, renowned for his “golden flowing tone” (The Guardian). He is a highly sought-after soloist and has recorded and released over 40 albums with Warner Classics. Since 1993, Pahud has served as principal flautist of the acclaimed Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, which he joined only 22 years of age. 

It is therefore cause for special celebration to listen to him perform three flute concertos in one night, each of them a stunning little work in its own right: French composer Camille Saint-Saëns's Odelette has alluring Turkish influences, I Hear the Water Dreaming by the Japanese master Toru Takemitsu is at once dreamlike and philosophical, and Cécile Chaminade's Concertino is a quintessential masterpiece of French Romanticism. 

The concert opens with the Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun by Claude Debussy. The flute is no less a solo instrument in this piece than in the concertos, as legend tells us it is the instrument of the mystical faun. The second half of the concert is dedicated to Brahms's First Symphony, a colossus that was over 20 years in the making.

English

Emmanuel Pahud er einn fremsti flautuleikari samtímans, heimsþekktur fyrir sinn „gullna og flæðandi tón“ (Guardian). Hann er afar eftirsóttur sem einleikari og hefur hljóðritað og gefið út yfir 40 hljómplötur undir merkjum Warnerútgáfurisans. Þá hefur Pahud gegnt stöðu leiðandi flautuleikara hinnar virtu Fílharmóníusveitar Berlínar frá árinu 1993, þegar hann var aðeins 22 ára. 

Það er því sérstakt fagnaðarefni að fá að hlýða á Pahud leika þrjá ólíka flautukonserta á sömu tónleikum, en verkin eru stutt og grípandi hvert á sinn hátt: Odelette eftir franska tónskáldið Camille Saint-Saëns byggir á töfrandi tyrkneskum áhrifum, I hear the water dreaming eftir japanska meistarann Toru Takemitsu er draumkennt og heimspekilegt í senn og Concertino eftir hina frönsku Cecile Chaminade er rómantískt glæsiverk af bestu gerð. 

Tónleikarnir hefjast á Forleik að síðdegi skógarpúkans eftir Claude Debussy. Þar er þverflautan ekki síður í forgrunni enda er hún samkvæmt goðsögninni hljóðfæri hins dulúðuga skógarpúka. Seinni hluti tónleikanna er helgaður fyrstu sinfóníu Brahms, umfaðmandi stórvirki sem tók tónskáldið rúm 20 ár að fullklára.
