From Vivaldi to the contemporary works, the concert was a compelling demonstration of her artistry.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"quote-card\">\n <h2>Bornholms Tidende<\/h2>\n <div class=\"quote-text-wrapper\" style=\"max-height:none;\">\n <div class=\"quote-text\">\n Debussy\u2019s Syrinx is essential in any flutist\u2019s repertoire. H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Navasse brought exactly the right touch of melancholy and sorrow to her performance\u2026 her sound was strikingly clear, pure, and fragile \u2014 deeply moving.\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"quote-card\">\n <h2>Fyens Stiftstidende<\/h2>\n <div class=\"quote-text-wrapper\" style=\"max-height:none;\">\n <div class=\"quote-text\">\n Pierre Boulez’s flute sonatine is a monster of a piece. When H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Navasse plays it, it sounds effortless \u2014 but it’s insanely difficult. I can\u2019t remember the last time it was performed in Denmark \u2014 if ever. \u2014 Erik Kaltoft\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <div class=\"quote-card\">\n <h2>Berlingske<\/h2>\n <div class=\"quote-text-wrapper\" style=\"max-height:none;\">\n <div class=\"quote-text\">\n Jolivet\u2019s Chant de Linos\u2026 truly highlighted Navasse\u2019s virtuosity.

(2004\u201320). Here, Natalie Harris teams up with H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Navasse on flute (piccolo) in what are, for long stretches, meticulously precise mirrorings of microtonal movement between two instruments that flow in and out of silence and sound.\n <span class=\"more-text\" style=\"display:none;\">\n <br><br>Something strange happens here too\u2014it\u2019s as if the clarinet and flute step out of their instruments and become sound without origin. At the beginning, they are either nearly inaudible or cling just barely to life at the edges of their registers, and here, Mathias Reumert contributes with very attentive percussion to camouflage them as one of his own kin.\n <br><br>Even when the two wind players gain more body and leap into acrobatic trills, they sound more like carnival whistles than classical music, strictly controlled by metrical shifts and Reumert\u2019s rigid setup of timpani and cymbals. It\u2019s a raw energy that is unleashed\u2014almost like hearing the atomic vibrations of the world.\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <a href=\"#\" class=\"read-more\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Read more \u25bc<\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<script>\n document.querySelectorAll('.read-more').forEach(button => {\n button.addEventListener('click', e => {\n e.preventDefault();\n const wrapper = button.previousElementSibling;\n const moreText = wrapper.querySelector('.more-text');\n const isExpanded = button.getAttribute('aria-expanded') === 'true';\n\n if (isExpanded) {\n \/\/ Collapse\n moreText.style.display = 'none';\n wrapper.style.maxHeight = '9em';\n button.textContent = 'Read more \u25bc';\n button.setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'false');\n } else {\n \/\/ Expand\n moreText.style.display = 'inline';\n wrapper.style.maxHeight = '1000px';\n button.textContent = 'Read less \u25b2';\n button.setAttribute('aria-expanded', 'true');\n }\n });\n });\n<\/script>\n\n<\/body>\n<\/html>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Quotes \u2013 H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Navasse Press Quotes Klassisk This made room for fascinating […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2831","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n<title>Quotes -
