Interweaving the Baroque era and the 20th and 21st centuries, the newest addition to Emmanuel Pahud’s Warner Classics catalogue is an imaginative 2-CD collection of music for unaccompanied flute. Among the composers are Telemann, Nielsen, Honegger, Varèse, Berio, Takemitsu, Pärt, Pintscher and Widmann. “Most of the pieces are about exploring new paths,” says Pahud. “The power of this music often lies in the contrast between a simple line and the most refined complexities, between a note so quiet as to be barely perceptible and the loudest, most extreme notes playable on the instrument.”
