Other Colours: Latvian Composers for Flute

2013-2016, SKANI, Latvia

This album takes listeners on a journey—from delicate miniatures to grand compositions, from classical masters to contemporary voices. It invites us to drift in a canoe, soar with migrating birds over Latvia, and travel south on a modern aircraft. “When you start playing, everything becomes clear—what is in your soul and mind,” said Ilona May. This music lets us hear that clarity.

This album – from miniatures to more elaborate compositions, from our classics to the compositions of the newest generation of composers – invites you on a very far journey – both by joining the musicians in a canoe, and by a flock of migratory birds on a flight over Latvia, and by boarding a modern aircraft to travel to the distant lands of the south. “When you start playing, everything is clear – what is your soul and what is in your head”, said Ilona May. And invites us to hear it.
