Impetus Flute Ensemble - Istantanee 21x22 [CD]

The versatility and timbral richness of the modern transverse flute have made it a protagonist of twentieth century music from Claude Debussy to Edgar Varese up to the latest generations of composers. Its melodious timbre has always been compared to the human voice. It has also been associated with the intimacy of the psyche (from the madness scene in Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor to Schonberg's Pierrot Lunaire lieder cycle). This is most likely because the flutist transforms breath into the sound of the instrument through direct contact without intermediary elements. The interest in the timbral peculiarities of the flute has gradually extended to all sizes of the instrument (from piccolo to double bass), this has allowed us to rediscover the expressive potential of a flute ensemble, as has already happened for centuries with stringed instruments. The result of this expressive exploration is a repertoire capable of inspiring the different technical and artistic solutions present in the recording of this cd: works written or revised between 2021 and 2022 for the Impetus Quintet. This recording is a series of musical "snapshots" that are as significant for those who listen to it as for those who recorded it. They are photographs of the present that surrounds us, moments of musical life and soundscapes. The sounds form an eclectic panorama made from different techniques and languages, sometimes transfigured or stylized-allusions and glimpses into worlds that intersect almost by chance in the present time.
