Savaskan: The Sleep of Reason (LP 180g)

Gyori, Noemi

MEL 12403

This arresting new album presents a major addition to the solo flute repertoire, bringing together the visionary artistry of flautist Noemi Gyori and the intricate, evocative music of composer Sinan Savaşkan.

Spanning nearly five decades of Savaşkan’s compositional output, the album explores the full expressive range of the flute—its lyric warmth, its structural clarity, and its capacity for sonic transformation—often in dialogue with subtly woven electronic elements.

At the heart of the album lies Sonata ‘… una rilettura indipendente’, a five-movement tour de force that is both architectural and deeply intuitive. Conceived as part of the composer’s epic cycle Many Stares through Semi-Nocturnal Zeiss-Blink, this work embodies Savaşkan’s radical approach to form and harmony—an evolving narrative shaped by transformation, resonance, and reflection. Written specifically for Noemi Gyori, the Sonata draws upon her exceptional virtuosity and interpretative insight, and represents a rare synthesis of structural rigour and emotional intensity.
