Atmospheric music from the Swiss mountains with late-romantic echoes, impressionism, and new compositional techniques – that's what Mirjam Lötscher's debut release "Sounds of Lucerne" offers. Together with pianist Thomas Wise, she presents sonatas and fantasies for flute and piano by Reto Stadelmann and Joseph Lauber – two Swiss composers of the 20th and 21st centuries who fuse the deeply rooted traditions of the Alpine country with contemporary elements to create their own forms of musical expression. Stadelmann's works and Lauber's Fantaisie pour Flûte et Piano have been recorded here for the first time on album – a discovery not only for Swiss classical music lovers!
