EMMANUEL PAHUD & YEFIM BRONFMAN
Following its early heyday during the Baroque era, it took until the 20th century for the flute to be fully rediscovered as a solo instrument—thanks, in part, to works such as Prokofiev’s 1943 Sonata. Emmanuel Pahud and Yefim Bronfman also perform Carl Reinecke’s “Undine” Sonata, inspired by Friedrich de la Motte-Fouqué’s eponymous fairy tale and one of the few 19th-century works of its kind, and an adaptation of Mozart’s Violin Sonata K. 378. Philippe Manoury’s solo piece Soubresauts, which is dedicated to Pahud, completes the program.
