The solo flute here is kept in high profile by the absence from the orchestra not only of other flutes but also of violins and oboes; in addition the trumpets are used sparingly (they do not for instance play in the slowmovement) so that for much of the time the flute is playing against a mellow ensemble of clarinets horns bassoons and low strings. If this is nevertheless one of Davies's most open-spirited pieces that comes partly from theready flights of the soloist partly from its glockenspiel accompaniments in the outer movements (replaced by ticking claves in the Adagio) partly from the dancing character of so much of the music and partly from the harmonicclarity in a light region not far from C minor.

This ?Suite' is not one of my 'epic' instrumental concertos such as the concertos for cello, violin or oboe, but a substantially smaller-structured series of dance forms arranged into a suite. Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here, only to reach the surface, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom.Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal colouring and an instrumental group from the orchestra: in the opening Allemande, the flutes of the orchestra (including alto and bass flute and later also piccolo to include the entire flute family) - the string section in the Sarabande - in both chorales (extremely muted in the first and brutalist in the second), the brass etc. - and it is only in the concluding Badinerie that all orchestral groups are combined, although they are terraced in the Baroque style, one following another, seldom all playing simultaneously.This permits the flute to remain the provider of all impulses - it attaches itself to the wide variety of instrumental colours, becomes suffused with these colours and thereby shines in different lights - acerbic, pale and radiant. This first performance marks the conclusion of my two-year residence with the Cleveland Orchestra. The immense versatility of this fine body of sound (which is indeed treated as such with the sum of its parts) and the exciting dark timbre of its principal flautist Joshua Smith have to a great extent determined the form and tonal character of my Flûte en suite.

Konzert für Flöte und Streichorchester-Johann Stamitz's Flute Concerto In G for Flute and String Orchestra. Reduction for Flute and Piano. Duration: 16 minutes.

Par JARRELL MICHAEL. Michael Jarrell est un compositeur du dialogue. La plupart de ses oeuvres récentes pour grande formation mettent en regard, en écho ou en résonance un ou plusieurs solistes et la masse orchestrale. Citons ...prisme / incidences... pour violon et orchestre (1998), Assonance IX pour clarinette et orchestre (2000), le concerto pour piano Abschied (2001), Epigraphe pour accordéon et orchestre (2003), ou encore Sillages, avec flûte, hautbois et clarinette solistes, joué en première mondiale pendant la saison 2005-2006 de l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. Sa toute dernière création ...un temps de silence..., met cette fois la flûte seule en vedette. 'Ce n'est pas un concerto à proprement parler, mais un peu plus que les autres quand même !', confie avec malice le compositeur genevois (entretien réalisé par Luca Sabbatini en février 2007 à Genève). 'Bien sûr, il n'y a pas de hiérarchie traditionnelle soliste/accompagnement. La flûte doit constamment trouver sa place. L'orchestre ne joue pas un rôle de faire-valoir, il possède son autonomie. En cela, ...un temps de silence... est plus proche de mon concerto pour piano que de ...prisme / incidence..., où tout venait du violon.' Comme le titre le suggère, la musique de cette nouvelle oeuvre tend vers sa propre dissolution. 'J'ai voulu faire entendre différents types de silence', confirme Michael Jarrell. 'On ne peut les percevoir qu'en variant les contextes. Le silence n'est pas le même après un seul accord ou après une cascade de notes.' Plusieurs idées temporelles d'affrontent. L'une, très pulsée, naît de l'orchestre et se transmet à la flûte. Une autre correspond à 'des moments hors du temps, qui glissent vers le silence'. La virtuosité exigée du soliste atteint des niveaux de difficulté proprement diaboliques. 'Emmanuel Pahud est venu me rendre visite et nous avons travaillé sur ce qu'il était possible de faire à la flûte', raconte le compositeur. 'La partition est écrite sur mesure, en tenant compte des capacités d'Emmanuel.' ...un temps de silence... s'ouvre sur trois accords marqués des cordes, percussion, harpe et piano, qui reviendront trois fois de façon audible, mais orchestrés différemment. Ces accords génèrent également 'l'harmonie fantôme' sur laquelle repose l'oeuvre. L'orchestre installe peu à peu une pulsation régulière, ce qui 'plonge la flûte dans une situation de stress', selon Michael Jarrell. Elle s'accroche, tente de rattraper l'orchestre, court après lui à bride abattue. La subtilité de la mise en place, avec de nombreux échanges ou superpositions rapides entre soliste et orchestre, rend tout le passage périlleux. Un grand tutti introduit la partie centrale, où les protagonistes entrent en symbiose sur un tempo très lent, qui dérive peu à peu vers un 'hors temps' énigmatique. Puis le silence. La dernière partie repart au galop, mais cette fois c'est la flûte qui dicte son rythme à l'orchestre, qui devient l'axe autour duquel tous les autres instruments tournent. L'orchestre finit par prendre le dessus dans ce jeu du chat et de la souris, au cours d'un épisode d'environ une minute, mené à une vitesse vertigineuse. Deux des trois accords du début reviennent, puis se diluent sur un tempo lent, où les percussions, notamment le bongo, dominent. Michael Jarrell cite alors son propre opéra Galilée, créé au Grand Théâtre de Genève la saison dernière: soutenu par trois rins japonais et quelques instruments, un woodblock aigu joue une pulsation régulière, sur laquelle la flûte vient poser ses commentaires. L'harmonie fait du sur place, le temps se fige, comme un arrêt sur image. La musique ne disparaît pas dans le silence. Elle est devenue son négatif, son ombre, son souffle.

A dreamlike and evocative work from Peter Maxwell Davies for flute and orchestra. The piece captures the wonder and sanctuary of the composer's home surrounded by seabirds and seals that fire the imagination in childlike ways evoking images of mermaids and angels. Descriptive and inventive orchestral colours support and illuminate the flute solo material that is both tranquil and highly virtuosic. The piece was first performed in May 1999 at theRoyal Concert Hall Dublin.
