Composer's Artistic Vision
The sonata genre was chosen for this series because it spans epochs, is continuously present with modifications, and is the most abstract form of chamber music-making.
Instruments
Flutist Gergely Ittzés performs on a Sankyo pure silver flute with a 14K golden Seder Headjoint.
Composer's Artistic Vision
A sonata is considered a 'miniature symphony' by the album's compiler, an epic composition in several chapters where two instruments represent what a symphony orchestra would.
Album & Artwork
This album, "The 20th Century Western Europe," is the seventh and final volume in "The Great Book of Flute Sonatas" series.
Recording & Production
The recordings for this album were made at the Richter Hall in Győr, Hungary, across several dates in 2009 and 2010.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The compiler's ambition for "The Great Book of Flute Sonatas" series is to create an audio archive of the most representative flute music from three centuries.
Album & Artwork
The album cover features the painting "Composition with Red, Blue and Yellow" by Piet Mondrian.
