Flautist Brandon Patrick George describes his debut album as a dialogue between the past and the future. It is indeed quite a leap in time from Johann Sebastian Bach to the Finnish composer Kalevi Aho, born in 1949, yet he has included works for solo flute by both composers on this recording. There are also two important chamber works for a flute and piano duo which represent milestones in the repertoire: a sonata by Sergei Prokofiev and a sonatina by Pierre Boulez.
Partita in A minor for solo flute, BWV 1013 / Johann Sebastian Bach (17:13) -- Sonatine / Pierre Boulez (13:02) -- Solo III / Kalevi Aho (11:47) -- Sonata for flute and piano, op. 94 / Sergei Prokofiev (24:47).
