Timing N° 8 - Roger Bourdin - Confidences D'Un Flutiste [flac available limited time]

 

A nice little flute library record, Roger Bourdin:

French flautist and pianist, born 27 January 1923 in Mulhouse, France and died 23 September 1976 in Versailles, France.

His output was mostly classical, but there were some library albums.  This one came out in1976.  It gets the full orchestral arrangement treatment behind the melodies.

Here are some sample tracks, Meditation, with its echoes of E. Satie (Gymnopedies):

You can see the resemblance to, for example, the early April Orchestra material, which we adored so much in years past.

Another pretty track, Sensibilite:

Probably he made more interesting music, which I am not aware of.
