Our Take

Ransom Wilson and the BBCCO bring a touch of ooh la la to their latest offering, "Ransom Wilson: 20th Century French Flute Concertos." A veritable smorgasbord of French flute goodness, this album is like a croissant for your ears - buttery, flaky, and oh-so-satisfying.

Wilson's flute playing is as smooth as a glass of Bordeaux, effortlessly gliding through the intricate melodies and complex rhythms of these 20th-century French concertos. The BBCCO provide the perfect accompaniment, their lush orchestration adding depth and colour to Wilson's virtuosic performance.

From the dreamy sounds of Poulenc's Flute Sonata to the playful energy of Dutilleux's Sonatine, Wilson and the BBCCO tackle each piece with finesse and flair. It's like a French pastry box - each concerto a delicious treat waiting to be unwrapped.

But it's not all sweetness and light - there are moments of darkness and drama too, particularly in Boulez's explosive Sonatine for Flute and Piano. Wilson and the BBCCO handle these challenging passages with skill and precision, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats.

Overall, "Ransom Wilson: 20th Century French Flute Concertos" is a delightful journey through the sounds of French music, expertly curated and performed by Wilson and the BBCCO. C'est magnifique!
