Kale
vi Aho's (b. 1949) Flute
Concerto (2002) was
initially inspired by the
magnificent, enigmatic
poetry of the Swede Tomas
Transtromer, but the
vocal ideas nevertheless
adapted themselves to the
flute. There is lots of
singing, lyrical music at
the beginning and end of
this three-movement work;
the second movement, by
contrast, is quick and
brilliant. The finale
follows from the second
movement without a break,
constituting an epilogue
that draws all the
threads together and
brings the events to a
close. This is one of the
most beautiful works Aho
has ever written. The
virtuosic solo part is
written for flute and
alto flute, and Kari
Vehmanen has created the
piano reduction in 2019.
The orchestral study
score (ISMN
9790550096349) is
available for sale and
the orchestral material
for hire.
