The Suite is not one of my 'epic' insturmental concertos but a substanially smaller-structured series of dance forms arranged into a suite. Sunken worlds suddenly emerge here only to reach the surface, hover in dangerously distorted fashion and then sink back to the bottom.
Almost every individual movement allots the solo flute a specific tonal colouring and an instrumental group from the orchestra. This permits the flute to remain the provider of all impulses; it attaches itself to the wide variety of instrumental colours, become suffused with these colours and thereby shines in different lights - acerbic, pale and radiant.
Performance duration (approx): 25'
