The "Concertino" and the "Suite" combine baroque form and modern musical language the harpsichord is often used percussively and the flute uses modern playing techniques (both here and in the "Espressivo sempre", where the expressivity is often of a sardonic, ascerbic sort and the string writing has hints of Shostakovich) while fragments of baroque harmony, rhythms and ornamentation peek out from the more complex modern language used. The "Miniatures" are a set of five pieces which border on atonality and which provide room for both virtuosity and expressiveness. Records International
