Two weeks ago, Mario Car­oli, Pierre-Stéphane Meugé, Do­na­ti­enne-Michel Dansac and Vin­cent Leterme gave the pre­miere of my new piece for flute, so­prano sax­o­phone, voice and piano, Small Atlas, as part of the clos­ing con­certs for the Acan­thes 2011 com­po­si­tion work­shops. Their ren­di­tion was crisp, ex­tremely clear and — un­sur­pris­ingly — far more in­te­grated than ‘clean’ record­ings made ear­lier in the week. Here it is for you to lis­ten to at your leisure. I rec­om­mend the free down­load as the stream­ing audio seems to do some­thing funny to sax­o­phone mul­ti­phon­ics.
