Award-winning recording artist, Iwona Glinka's new album GIMEL, consists of twelve compositions, written by ten contemporary composers: Aaron Alter (USA), Keith. R. Gambling (Australia), Louis Sauter (France), Jose Jesus de Azevedo Souza (Portugal), Peter Walton (UK), Aris Carastathis (Canada), Hari Kanakis, Dimitris Kostopoulos, Rene Nikolaou, Giorgos Papamitrou (Greece). In each case, they are world premieres, recorded by soloists specializing in the performance of contemporary music: Iwona Glinka, Anna Sikorzak-Olek, and Adam Eljasinski. Seven of the pieces were composed for flute and harp, while the remaining ones for solo flute, for solo alto flute, for flute and clarinet, and for flute, harp, and clarinet. The album was recorded in September 2017 in Warsaw, and is the culmination of work on compositions, often dedicated to the Polish flutist Iwona Glinka, who devoted the subject of contemporary flute music in her two doctoral dissertations. The works on the album present all the techniques of the new music, highlighting not only the unique characteristics of the instrument but also the extraordinary virtuosity and musicality of Iwona Glinka. The flutist in cooperation with an outstanding harpist has created a unique and coherent thematic album, presenting to the listeners the world of the newest flute music.
