Synopsis

Product Description
As founder and chief of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE),
Claire Chase, is best known for championing genre-defying work of
emerging composers, but on her new CD, Terrestre, Chase
turns her attention to more established repertoire, presenting a collection
of 20th century works that 'celebrate and invigorate' the flute canon.
'The flute had its heyday as a solo instrument in the baroque era, but it
became an orchestral instrument in the 19th century,' says Chase, 'and
we've spent the last 100 years trying to rediscover a solo identity for the
flute trying to put its repertoire on comparable footing with that of the
violin, piano, and human voice.'
