Aliento
“The entire album is a knockout.”
—Chicago Reader
“stunning…”
—American Record Guide
Chase released her first solo album in October 2009, featuring world premiere recordings by emerging composers from the US, Japan, Argentina, Mexico and China. “Aliento” (Spanish: “breath”) explores both the essential and the experimental use of breath in a tour de force program of 21st century works for flute by an exciting international group of young composers with whom Chase has worked closely over the past several years: Nathan Davis and Jason Eckardt (US), Du Yun (China), Dai Fujikura (Japan), Marcelo Toledo (Argentina), Edgar Guzmán (Mexico).
