Gregson: Three Matisse Impressions

Three well-known paintings by Henri Matisse, including the famous "La Danse", form the inspiration for these colourful and tuneful pieces, by composer renowned for his wonderful writing for wind instruments. Whilst the treble recorder is the basic instrument used in all three pieces, the player changes to sopranino for the whirling and exultant conclusion to the finale.
