This recording showcases music written for flute, cello, and piano in their various combination, featuring renowned Canadian musicians: flutist Susan Hoeppner, cellist Winona Zelenka, and pianist Lydia Wong. Inspired by Susan Hoeppner’s dazzling technique and charisma as a soloist and chamber musician, the five works in this recording capture what a flutist can achieve with skill and personality. In a small chamber setting, the five compositions (written between 1992 and 2017) share the provocative theme of “eccentricity” and “seduction”. The program is designed to portray a musical journey of boundless emotions varying from dramatic to romantic, whimsical to atmospheric: The Mysterious Boot describes the effect of “trance” when Roman actors perform with spirit plagued boots; Asiatic Impression depicts a fantasy world of a surreal Asiatic city when night falls; Cœur à Cœur is desperately romantic, an intimate instrumental conversation calling out between two souls; Suite for Flute and Piano presents a capricious collection of fanciful nocturnal tales in nature; the last piece Seiren is an raging instrumental hymn sung by sea creatures to lure sailors. These five compositions assemble a colourful array of chamber music of contrasting styles and concept, fusing virtuosic instrumental playing with extended techniques, electronics, and theatrical elements such as singing and vocalization. The vibrant and evocative music on this recording represents contemporary chamber music written for the flute with a unique conceptual approach and bring something fresh to the audience.
