Messiaen: Le tombeau resplendissant, etc
Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra/Paavo Järvi (Alpha Classics)
Khachaturian & Ibert: Flute Concertos (Emmanuel Pahud, Tonhalle Orchestra Zürich)
This Khachaturian recording poses a dilemma. Should you remain with Jean-Pierre Rampal, the man who transcribed the Violin Concerto for flute and one whose 1970 recording (Erato) exudes the spirit of the composer’s every nuance? Or should you shift to flautist of the moment, Emmanuel Pahud?
