Matthias Pintscher's "Transir" is a tribute to his friend, composer Dominique Troncin, who encouraged Pintscher's first steps as a composer and sent him sketches for a work he could not finish before his death.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Marc-André Dalbavie's Flute Concerto explores the concept of resonance, an idea central to his work for many years.
Performer Biography
The concertos by Marc-André Dalbavie, Michael Jarrell, and Matthias Pintscher were all commissioned specifically for flutist Emmanuel Pahud to premiere.
Compositional Technique
Michael Jarrell's concerto, "…un temps de silence…", explores different types of silence, which can only be perceived by varying their contexts.
Recording & Production
All three concertos on this album were recorded in the Salle Olivier Messiaen at the Radio France Studio in Paris.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Matthias Pintscher, the composer of "Transir", is fascinated by the moment itself and the imaginary journey from familiarity into the unknown.
Compositional Technique
In Matthias Pintscher's "Transir", the solo flute acts as a chronometer, distinctly marking the flow of time to focus on an individual particle, as if suspended in time.
