This is such a lyrical concerto and Nielsen demonstrates in his writing the versatility of the instrument like no other Scandinavian composer had done before or has done since.
I remember reading an article a long time ago about a CD that brought together recordings of Nielsen's three concerts (one for violin, one for flute and one for clarinet). The author of the article praised the concert for violin, but restrictions on concerts for wind instruments. It said that the concert for the flute had a contradictory mood, between lyrical and martial (I did not find the article to reproduce the exact words). In any case, I have not heard many other flute concerts by Scandinavian composers with which I can compare Nielsen's. I remember Rautavaara's concert (are the Finns Scandinavians?), Subtitled “Dances with the Winds”, that there is a recording available on my channel, and I believe that the two flute concerts (Op. 126 and 147) by the countryman from Nielsen, Vagn Holmboe. I don't remember how Holmboe's concertos sound anymore, but Rautavaara's impressed me a lot, with the images of icy and inhuman natural phenomena that they suggested to me. ruclips.net/video/wQkqdoDAjA0/видео.html
@@pedrohenriqueprata Unfortunately the 19th & 20th centuries didn't produce much in the way of flute concertos or many woodwind concertos for that matter, as previous generations did. Sadly (and I'm not a woodwind player) this has led to a lack of repertoire in this area. But I'm pleased that I used the word "lyrical" in my comment that coincides with what you read! You see, sometimes, even the blind chicken picks up something to eat. :-) :-)
@@DavidA-ps1qr In addition to the Rautavaara flute concerto, I can suggest two more that are available on my channel and which, I suppose, you may not know about. The concert by Iranian composer Reza Vali and the one by American composer Kevin Puts. They are relatively recent works, respectively from 1998 and 2013-14. The start of the Kevin Puts concerto, which I just heard, made me think of Copland, and Reza Vali's owes a great deal to his country's traditional music, which makes them both perhaps less "modern" than the Nielsen concerto. ruclips.net/video/7A-1v5U0-GQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/A9OMSMPaCbA/видео.html
