Toshio Hosokawa: Works for Flute

“For me, the flute is the instrument which can most deeply realize my musical ideal. The flute can produce a sound by means of the breath, and can be a vehicle by which the breath transmits the sound’s life-power“ (Toshio Hosokawa). The six flute compositions on this CD, rendered impressively and with intense devotion by Yoshie Ueno, each show a way of experiencing the music intended by Toshio Hosokawa as a profound art of expression.
