Description: | â??Mozart is the reason why I became a musician,â? says Emmanuel Pahud. Now, in partnership with pianist Eric Le Sage the flautist has recorded the album Mozart Stories â?? four Mozart sonatas, originally conceived for violin. Pahud shares a birthday with Mozart (27th January) and was first captivated by the composerâ??s music when he was just four years old. â??Mozart is my lucky musical star,â? he says, â??When I play his works, as I inhale and exhale, I feel a connection between body and soul. His music combines structure and freedom.â?
For Mozart Stories Pahud and Le Sage, an established team in the concert hall, have selected sonatas in B flat major, G major, E minor and C major. â??Mozart wrote the sonatas at a time when he was composing works for flute too â?¦ so the flute and the violin are very close to each other,â? affirms Pahud. â??Each of the sonatas, starting off with the key it is written in, has a distinctive character.â?
Gramophoneâ??s June 2024 edition welcomes the album warmly: â??What a good idea to adapt four of Mozartâ??s mature violin sonatas â?¦The customary ease, gentleness and fluidity of Emmanuel Pahudâ??s flute and model taste and clarity of Ã?ric Le Sageâ??s piano-playing are evident â?¦ These are ideal transcriptions ideally performed, not weighed down by comparisons with the original pieces, but finding fresh opportunities in them and offering new things to think about.â?
