Dalbavie Flute Concerto - Orchestre Métropolitain de Montréal
Maison Symphonique de MontréalJan 2023In much of the Dalbavie concerto, passages in the solo flute part fly by at warp speed, so much so that only a Pierre Boulez could discern if the soloist is in fact hitting all the notes. Not only was Pahud up to the challenge, but even when his fingers were moving at lightning speed, he still sculpted melodic lines and clearly delineated phrasal arrival points.
