Principal flute of the London Symphony Orchestra, Adam Walker presents a recital of alternately lyric and dynamic music for flute and piano. A lovelorn song from Die schöne Müllerin forms the basis of a set of variations by Schubert, and reflective songs without words by Poulenc and Barber offer mellifluous contrast with the dancing energy of Bartók, Messiaen and Poulenc's sonata.
Poulenc: Flute Sonata, Op. 164
Poulenc: Vocalise-Etude, Op. 89
Messiaen: 5 Lecons de solfege (arr. for flute and piano)
Bartók: Suite paysanne hongroise
Bartók: Suite Paysanne Hongroise: Vieilles Danses (arr. P. Arma)
Barber: Canzone for Flute & Piano Op. 38a
Schubert: Introduction and Variations on 'Trockne Blumen' from Die Schöne Müllerin D802
