Brandon Patrick George
Sergio A. Mims writes:
Brandon Patrick George of Imani Winds
makes his debut album for Profil with an album of works for solo flute
by Bach, Boulez, Prokofiev and Kalevi Aho
"Flautist
Brandon Patrick George describes his debut album as a dialogue between
the past and the future. It is indeed quite a leap in time from Johann
Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) to the Finnish composer Kalevi Aho, born in
1949 – yet he has included works for solo flute by both composers on
this recording.
There
are also two important chamber works for a flute and piano duo which
represent milestones in the repertoire: a sonata by Sergei Prokofiev
(1891-1953) and a sonatina by Pierre Boulez (1925-2016) – and so this
release represents a walk through musical history spanning 300 years.
Brandon
Patrick George is the flutist of the Grammy®-nominated Imani Winds, and
has performed with many of the world’s leading ensembles including the
Los Angeles
Philharmonic, Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Orpheus Chamber Orchestra,
and the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE)"
