A. Eshpai's works include a unique series of concerts in the history of music for all instruments of the symphony orchestra. In addition, the composer has created music for many theatrical productions and films.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003eThe 1994 Flute Concerto is here given in a live recording of its world premiere. It includes some of the haunting Mari folk tunes used in The Circle some 20 years previously. Another element is birdsong caught in the nets of a brusque and dissonant fantasy. The flute though is not called on do unnatural things although its demands on technique seem to be intimidating - both for soloist and orchestra (the very same that recorded the complete Ivan the Terrible music for Nimbus). The work arrives at heart s message at 0909 after which the solo part and the orchestra in chase careen, chicane and cartwheel their way through the piece. The concerto ends with the delightful  breathing  of the flute.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e - Rob Barnett; Musicweb International\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Compozitor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968049828134,"sku":"9790352200296","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790352200296_d.jpg?v=1697500232","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/eshpai-a-concerto","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
