Dancing with the wind

(un tour de passe-passe décoiffant - a hair-raising trick ;-)

Bon week-end à vous mes amis !

Avec la force tranquille du passionnant Concerto pour Flute "Dances With the Winds" de Einojuhani Rautavaara :
youtu.be/NhTnaKLrgz8?t=1281 "Vivace"
youtu.be/NhTnaKLrgz8?t=421 " Allegro"

This is one of the most comprehensive flute concertos ever written. Einojuhani Rautavaara (born in 1928), one of Finland's leading composers, requires the flute soloist to bring on stage four different flutes, and to display the different capabilities of each. The instruments are the piccolo, the standard flute, the alto flute in G, and the true bass flute. It was written after the composer rejected the 12-tone and other advanced or experimental styles he had been using, returning to a songful, even Romantic style.
