"Since I was a child I've been playing around with the flute’s fragile sound! Creating, destroying, challenging it; becoming disappointed with it; teaching so I can learn; playing with others ... unconsciously ... magically; concertos with orchestras, chamber music, modern music ... all with the flute!
I saw it as a challenge to play works that seek out the flute’s pure sound! Those works are like a cool breeze from the past and the future; a breeze that dynamically infiltrates into the harsh reality of cities and takes us back to a lost dream of a simpler life, a life in nature! I dedicate this CD to all future flautists!"
Stella Gadedi is an extremely talented artist with a long, impressive career as a flautist but who has also walked a parallel path as a singer and composer (www.stellagadedi.gr). On this her 8th personal album, we listen to her warm, expressive sound as she plays a selection of outstanding works for solo flute ranging from the pre-classical era to the 20th century –from Telemann, Marais and Piazzolla to Bozza– including one piece she wrote herself.
