Helen Dabringhaus; Brandenburger Symphoniker - Jacques Ibert: Orchestral Works / Flute Concerto

The music of Jacques Ibert offers the content of the third production Peter Gulke has recorded with his Brandenburg Symphony Orchestra for MDG.It is difficult to categorise Ibert as belonging to a fixed style. He was of course in contact with the composers of the Groupe des Six, who were around the same age, and of course influences by Ravel and Debussy cannot be ignored.In these works for flute and orchestra, one can appreciate the technical difficulty of the works - Ibert left hardly any gaps for the performer to breathe! But Helen Dabringhaus rises to the occasion beautifully.Gulke presents the special, very individual qualities of thismusic between impressionism and neo-classicism,between romanticism and modernism, between virtuosityand sound painting on this Super Audio CD.
