法國長笛作品集(聖桑/法朗克/杜魯菲)
亞當‧沃克 長笛
詹姆斯‧貝里歐 鋼琴

French Works for Flute is the Chandos debut of Adam Walker, ably accompanied by James Baillieu. The pair is joined by the violist Timothy Ridout in Durufle's Prelude, recitatif et variations.
 
At the forefront of a new generation of wind soloists, Adam Walker was appointed principal flute of the London Symphony Orchestra in 2009 at the age of twenty-one. In 2010 he won a Borletti-Buitoni Trust Fellowship Award and was shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society Outstanding Young Artist Award. He is visiting professor at the Royal College of Music.
 
Judged by The Daily Telegraph to be 'in a class of his own', James Baillieu is one of the leading chamber pianists and accompanists of his generation.
Built around three major works (Widor's Suite, Jean-Pierre Rampal's edition of Franck's Violin Sonata, and Durufle's flute trio), the programme proves an excellent showcase for Walker's prodigious talent – effortless virtuosity, ethereal sound, and above all outstanding musical expression.
