Description: | What can be encompassed in music within 60 minutes? Africa, Japan, Germany. London, Vienna, the Balkans... Four virtuoso recorder players, i Frautisti, will guide you through this one-hour odyssey. Since their getting together in 2009 at the Royal College of Music in London, the female ensemble have given premieres of a number of pieces, directly written for them. The composers who have created music for them include such celebrities as Tarik O'Regan and Nathan Theodoulou. i Flautisti have appeared at renowned festivals and led master classes in the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Czech Republic. Their live performances have also enchanted BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 listeners. The present recording serves to mark the ensemble's 10th anniversary, featuring ten pieces that have earned them enthusiastic responses at concert venues. The album organically blends the Middle Ages and Baroque with torrential Balkan rhythms and the contemporary world. Yet you should not approach the modern tunes with trepidation: i Flautisti present (for the most part in world premiere) music that is beautiful, comprehensive, often catchy even. The ensemble's great forte - also the common denominator of the recording - is an engrossing musicality, vivacity and passion. You will definitely want to take the hour-long trip again and again. From the Middle Ages to the present time - from Africa through Japan to the Balkans; a thrilling musical journey with a virtuoso recorder quartet."Douce Dame Jolie ? Works for Recorder" is a captivating CD by the acclaimed ensemble I Flautisti, released under the renowned Supraphon label. This album presents an exquisite selection of medieval and Renaissance pieces, all masterfully interpreted on recorders. The repertoire includes both well-known and lesser-explored works, offering listeners a journey through refined melodies and intricate harmonies that highlight the expressive range of the recorder family. I Flautisti are celebrated for their innovative approach to early music performance; their artistry has earned them international recognition at festivals across Europe and numerous awards in chamber music competitions. Supraphon, established in 1932, is one of Central Europe's most prestigious classical music labels with a rich tradition of supporting outstanding artists and producing high-quality recordings that have garnered global acclaim. |
