Nielsen composed his witty and imaginative flute concerto for a member of the Danish Wind Quintet, conveying much of the character and personality of the player in the piece. Radio 3 New Generation Artist Sharon Bezaly is the soloist in this workshop with BBC NOW conducted by Ken Woods.\u201d

This program, which was recorded live in October, is a fascinating look inside one of the quirkier works in the repertoire. The soloist is Sharon Bezaly- although she\u2019s probably the busiest recording artist among contemporary flautists, she has not yet recorded this work, so this is a must-hear for flute nuts everywhere, as well as fans of Nielsen, and those who\u2019ve never quite warmed to this piece.

You can read about our experiences preparing the program here,<\/a> and there is a nice, informal review from the blog “Cardiff to Catalonia”\u00a0 here<\/a>.Discovering Music programs are archived on the Radio 3 website, so you can listen at your leisure once the program is broadcast by going to the Discovering Music page (we\u2019ll post a direct link to the feed once it is established). You can hear my last program (a Telegraph Critics Pick of the Week)\u00a0on the Haydn Trumpet Concerto here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
