Pulkkis' Flute concerto, dedicated to Sharon Bezaly. The classical, three-movement form has its aesthetic offshoot in a musical style that, in the outer movements expecially, has not unappreciable whiff of neo-classicism in the manner of Honegger, Hindemith and Einar Englund, though filtered through the composer's very personally coloured vision.
Classics Today 10/10, highest rating: 'An observation for listeners interested in getting to know some strikingly good new music'; Gramophone Award 2007.
