Michael Faust, principal flautist with the Cologne RSO, is in his element as soloist in this disc of 20th-century flute repertoire. He glides in and out of the eerie, ghost-like sections and fantastical dances in Martin’s Ballade, then transforms into a robust interpreter of majestic and humorous tunes in the Nielsen. Bernstein’s rousing Halil shows Faust in full command of the flute’s expressive qualities, from dark, esoteric ramblings to syncopated flutter-tongues. Kate Sherriff
