Emmanuel Pahud is one of the few living flautists who can effortlessly bridge multiple genres. In this recording, he glides seamlessly from the cinematic, historical weight of Prokofiev, to the avant-garde spiritualism of Hosokawa, and finally to the devastating, structural eulogy of Rouse. It is a testament to the fact that all great music, in its boundless imagination, ultimately tells a deeply human story. This project stands as yet another milestone in Pahud’s remarkably long career, which spans Baroque, Classical, Romantic, and contemporary music — encompassing all the significant epochs of classical music history.
