This arresting new album presents a major addition to the solo flute repertoire, bringing together the visionary artistry of flautist Noemi Gyori and the intricate, evocative music of composer Sinan Savaşkan. Spanning nearly five decades of Savaşkan’s compositional output, the album explores the full expressive range of the flute—its lyric warmth, its structural clarity, and its capacity for sonic transformation—often in dialogue with subtly woven electronic elements.

At the heart of the album lies Sonata ‘… una rilettura indipendente’, a five-movement tour de force that is both architectural and deeply intuitive. Conceived as part of the composer’s epic cycle. Many Stares through Semi-Nocturnal Zeiss-Blink, this work embodies Savaşkan’s radical approach to form and harmony—an evolving narrative shaped by transformation, resonance, and reflection. Written specifically for Noemi Gyori, the Sonata draws upon her exceptional virtuosity and interpretative insight, and represents a rare synthesis of structural rigour and emotional intensity.

Alongside the Sonata are three additional works, each revealing a distinct facet of Savaşkan’s sound-world. The Sleep of Reason, for solo flute, offers a tightly coiled musical meditation, born from a nocturnal journey and haunted by socio-political undercurrents and subconscious recollections. Always at Dusk, No.3, for alto flute and electronics, distills a fleeting emotional memory into an atmosphere of suspended time, echoing the concept of durée rather than chronological sequence.

Finally, Pas de Deux for One, originally composed in 1978 and revised in 2023, draws from Savaşkan’s background in dance and experimental film, resulting in a vivid theatricality that unfolds through extended techniques and shifting gestures. The electronics, composed entirely from transformations of flute sounds, serve not as backdrop but as an active, organic extension of the instrument’s breath, resonance, and timbral possibilities. Whether experienced through speakers or headphones, the recording invites deep listening—preferably in dim light, as Gyori suggests—offering an immersive sonic space where listener, performer, and composer meet. An album for connoisseurs of contemporary music, Sonata ‘… una rilettura indipendente’ is a profound collaboration between two artists whose shared sensitivity reshapes what solo flute music can mean today.
