This recording showcases music written for flute, cello, and piano in their various combinations, featuring renowned Canadian musicians: flutist Susan Hoeppner, cellist Winona Zelenka, and pianist Lydia Wong. Inspired by Susan Hoeppner’s dazzling technique and charisma as a soloist and chamber musician, the five works in this recording capture what a flutist can achieve with skill and personality. In a small chamber setting, the five compositions (written between 1992 and 2017) share the provocative theme of “eccentricity” and “seduction”.
The program is designed to portray a musical journey of boundless emotions varying from dramatic to romantic, whimsical to atmospheric. The vibrant and evocative music in this recording represents contemporary chamber music written for the flute with a unique conceptual approach and brings something fresh to the audience.
Considered “among the most important composers writing in this country” (D.
