Icons

Komsi, Anu; Lamb, Eric

Flutist Eric Lamb exhibits his incredible dynamism with this collection of iconic works from the repertoire. Exploring the depth of his musical interests, Lamb takes us on a journey from the 18th century, with JS Bach’s seminal A-minor Partita for solo flute, straight through to the 21st, with Austrian composer Roland Freisitzer’s hypnotic ’Music for Eric Lamb’. Along the way, Eric picks up his dear friend, the versatile soprano Anu Komsi, as he explores all of the different characters that can be portrayed by the flute. Eric Lamb is in demand internationally as a soloist, recitalist, concert curator and chamber musician. Eric performed extensively as a core member of the New York based International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and has been a guest with ensembles, orchestras and at major festivals throughout the US, South America, Germany, Holland, and the UK. He continues to work closely with leading composers and conductors of our time while exploring performance techniques and practices throughout the entire scope of the repertoire. Eric completed his undergraduate studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music as a student of Michel Debost followed by graduate and post graduate studies at both the Hochschule fur Musik Frankfurt am Main and the Scuola di Musica di Fiesole, Italy. While being a lecturer at the University of Auckland, his busy concert schedule includes concerto engagements, chamber music festivals throughout Europe as well as his 2016 debut on the opera stage, performing the dance role of Lucifer in Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Donnerstag. On this recording, Eric performs on a wooden flute by Sankyo Handmade Flutes.
