Pierre Hamon is perhaps best known as the flautist with Alla Francesca, with whom he has made numerous recordings. Here he takes up the flutes on his own account, in a recital comprising pieces by contemporary composers and a miscellany of elaborations of well known medieval tunes, such as Ghaetta and Machaut’s Douce dame jolie. He is supported by a backing band of four musicians on early instruments, supplemented by a little judicious multitracking and computer enhancement in the modern pieces.
Hamon’s elaborations have a distinct flavour of “East meets West”, and are dance-like and lively in spirit. Whereas the dance feel is logical in the case of the istanpitta, with Machaut’s songs the fast pace isn’t necessarily so appropriate, and some may also find that these extemporisations tend to outstay their welcome. Not so the contemporary pieces, which show off these instruments to good effect. Philippe Schoeller’s cycle Hypnos (of which two pieces are recorded here) is particularly effective in this respect: in the latter stages of Hypnos linea II, the overdubbing and computer enhancement of flute sounds is very nicely managed. Mario Lavista’s Ofrenda, though not quite so enterprising, effectively showcases Hamon’s beautifully modulated timbre, and the use of multiphonics towards the end makes one wish that more had been done with them. On this showing, a greater proportion of contemporary pieces wouldn’t have come amiss.
