Dreamtime is a spellbinding collection of works for flute and orchestra which, in Emmanuel Pahud’s words “expresses and gives form to the composers’ most personal, spiritual or dreamlike visions”. The album ranges wide both culturally and chronologically, embracing works by Mozart, Reinecke, Busoni, Takemitsu and Penderecki, and inhabits a dimension “populated by incantations and prayers, in which imagination is woven together and then unravels, and where desire is roused by fantasy”. Pahud is partnered by the Munich Radio Orchestra and its Principal Conductor, Ivan Repušić.
