"It is a continuing source of amazement to me how many little known composers are ‘unearthed’ and whose music is introduced to a wider public; not just amazement but delight. The music of Paul Le Flem certainly ranks highly in this sphere ... (Giorgio Koukl's) dogged research is fuelled by commitment to bring this music to the public ... this often proves difficult and many others would not be as resolute in pursuing it so music lovers have a great deal to thank him for. Add to this a wondrous lightness of touch which so perfectly suits such elegant music and you have a disc which is valuable on several levels ... how refreshing it is to be introduced to someone as interesting yet almost totally unknown as Paul le Flem. I urge you to listen to this captivating music so brilliantly played." - MusicWeb International Pianist Giorgio Koukl devotes this programme to Paul Le Flem, a member of the Parisian circle of Martinů, Tcherepnin and Tansman who described his own music as a fusion of influences of his native Brittany, Debussy and D’Indy. Koukl captures all the intense poetry of works reflecting the everchanging land and seascapes of Brittany and the variety of its mysteries and legends, from the lighthearted to the disquieting. The album includes several world premieres.
