Divertimento a Quattro for Flute, Piano, Contrabass and Percussion

From the Publisher

The stylistic bandwidth of the Divertimento is vast. The first movement alone presents Casterede as an expert melodist, harmonist, neo-Classicist, and even towards the end an equally gifted avante-gardist. The Canzone is an upmarket gymnopedie in which the meoldy expands over several octaves.The Finale then introduces the piccolo for a kind of  Modernist circus music.

The Studio in Jazz is the most extraordinary.  At times, one could almost imagaine that the Pink Panther has just wandered into a Messiaen rehersal at the Moulin Rouge. The results are sometimes slightly mad, often hilarious, usually very clever, but always utterly compelling.
