Breath of Creation

Breath of Creation

Flutes of two worlds. Performing on shakuhachi, baroque flute and recorder, these two inspiring performers - renowned in their own fields - join forces to present a magical display of virtuosic delights and evocative sound-scapes. A meeting-point of European and Japanese traditions - 'Breath of Creation' - flutes of two worlds is a journey through traditional folk melodies from England, Ireland and Japan, to the European art music of Bach, Couperin and Vivaldi. Includes stop-offs along the way of eastern meditations and collaborative improvisations by the performers themselves. Complete with detailed, informative liner notes on the compositions and the place these instruments hold in Eastern & Western culture, 'Breath of Creation' presents an insight into the collaborative creativity of two Australian musicians from two very different worlds.
