Shadow Dances - British Works for Flute
Adam Walker
For his second album for Chandos, the flute virtuoso Adam Walker explores the music of British composers with pianist Huw Watkins. Vaughan Williams's Suite de ballet was commissioned by the French flute virtuoso Louis Fleury (who had given the première of Debussy's Syrinx). The work uses eighteenth-century French dance forms, a common practice in 'neo-classical' composition. Bax's Four Pieces rescue music from an abandoned ballet originally conceived for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Sir Lennox Berkeley's Sonatina was originally written for treble recorder; James Galway's championship of the piece made it a staple of the flute repertoire. Howard Fergusson's Three Sketches were composed intermittently over a period of twenty years. The theme of the third piece is a Hindu melody, 'Koyalinya bole ambuvan' (Cuckoos sing in the mango tree). Sonatas by York Bowen and William Alwyn complete this varied and engaging programme.
