“The flute is coming of age! No longer is it just a bird or a butterfly...once again composers are invoking its vital, expressive voice.
The flute's newest repertoire taps into an ancient heritage, harnessing a special spirit of the instrument. Works like Thea Musgrave's Orfeo and Karlheinz Stockhausen's Kathinka's Chant als Lucifer's Requiem -- and a host of other works -- are re-defining the instrument, making a present-day flute recital a monster experience.”
