New Zealand-born, American-based flautist Marya Martin enjoys an international career. She joins acclaimed American pianist Colette Valentine for this recording which brings together eight contrasting yet complementary pieces commissioned for her from leading composers whom she admires and who enthusiastically agreed to participate. ‘Undoubtedly one of the most artistically rewarding experiences in my career…I hope that they will bring as much inspiration and delight to you as they have to me,’ she notes of these Eight Visions, which range from lyrical to virtuosic, folk- and jazz-inspired to mystical and prayerful.
