About

Damase’s music combines grace and sparkling wit with a gentle nobility. The essential simplicity of his writing, especially when compared to the voguish intellectual inscrutability of the avant garde, led to his being side-lined at a time when novelty was all the rage. Yet although he was highly prolific, little of his music is k nown outside his native France. The works featured in this recital epitomise nearly half-a-century of creative endeavour.

Of the younger composers from whom Damase drew freely for creative inspiration, he felt the greatest affinity with Françaix. Françaix showed exceptional talent from an early age and was already composing freely by the age of six. Highly prolific – he once described himself as ‘constantly composing’ – Françaix established his reputation during the 1930s with a series of works (most notably his Concertino for piano and orchestra) that demonstrate his effortless command of a wide range of genre s. The wind family of instruments plays a crucial role in many of Françaix’s 200 or so published works and of these the flute is pre-eminent.
