Emmanuel Pahud and the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande begin this new album of compositions by Éric Montalbetti with his Flute Concerto Memento vivere, conceived in one movement as an ode to breath and life. Duncan Ward and the Gürzenich Orchester Köln have recorded the final and definitive version of Montalbetti’s Ouverture philharmonique, a mini-concerto for symphony orchestra that invites the listener to immerse themselves into the heart of each of the orchestra's sections, and to revel in the work’s multiple combinations of timbres. Finally, Kazuki Yamada and the Orchestre Philharmonique de Monte-Carlo perform the composer’s great symphonic fantasy Éclair physionomique, inspired by Paul Klee’s fascinating painting Physiognomischer Blitz, a self-portrait of the artist illuminated by a flash of lightning. Each of these pieces unfolds like an extensive daydream, a journey across interior landscapes that the composer would like to share with the listener.
