VENT | CULTURAL ATTACHÉ - REVIEW

NEW MUSIC IN THIS WEEK

by Craig Byrd

September 2023

If you like your classical music from both the traditional repertoire and the contemporary repertoire you’ll enjoy this album featuring flutist Gregory and pianist Kaplan.

Vent features world premiere recordings of works by Gabriela Lena Frank (Five Andean Imposivations) and Timo Andres (Steady Gaze). Joining those works are Schubert’s Variations on Trockne Blumen, Prokofiev’s Flute Sonata in D and David Lang’s Vent.

This is a terrific album with work that certainly is rarely performed together and those world premiere recordings are well worth exploring.
