Bacri: Concerto for Flute and Orchestra

This disc brings together four contemporary flute concertos composed between 1980 and 2007 and performed by the internationally acclaimed flautist, Sharon Bezaly. Each work has been recorded with a different orchestra and conductor and all four works have been included on recent BIS releases.

This highly accessible, colourful and melodic music is here interpreted by the Tapiola Sinfonietta under Jean-Jacques Kantorow, a team whose previous recordings on BIS have been enthusiastically received by the reviewers. A disc of works by Saint-Saëns was for instance described as ‘a smorgasbord of distinctive orchestral colours’ in Classic FM Magazine and was a finalist in the Gramophone Awards 2007.
