Emmanuel Pahud's "Dreamtime" is a captivating journey through a diverse collection of works for flute and orchestra, released on October 25, 2019, under Warner Classics. This album showcases Pahud's virtuosity and versatility, featuring both well-known and lesser-known pieces that span a range of styles and periods.
The album opens with Krzysztof Penderecki's Flute Concerto, a complex and challenging work that Pahud navigates with remarkable skill. The concerto's seven movements offer a rich tapestry of sounds and emotions, from the serene "Andante" to the energetic "Allegro con brio." Also included are Carl Reinecke's Flute Concerto in D Major, Op. 283, a Romantic-era piece that highlights Pahud's lyrical and expressive playing, and Mozart's Andante in C Major, K. 315, a charming and melodic work that showcases Pahud's technical prowess.
In addition to these concertos, "Dreamtime" features several shorter pieces that demonstrate Pahud's ability to bring out the unique character of each composition. Busoni's Divertimento and Reinecke's Ballade, Op. 288, are both Romantic-era works that showcase Pahud's expressive playing, while Takemitsu's "I Hear the Water Dreaming" offers a contemporary contrast with its delicate and evocative sounds.
Throughout the album, Pahud is accompanied by the Münchener Rundfunkorchester, conducted by Ivan Repušić. Their collaboration results in a rich and nuanced sound that complements Pahud's playing and brings out the full potential of each piece. With a total runtime of 1 hour and 18 minutes, "Dreamtime" is a rewarding and engaging listening experience that showcases the full range of Emmanuel Pahud's artistry.
