Flutist Han Ji-hee is releasing her debut album and holding a recital.
Universal Music announced that it will release flutist Han Ji-hee's "Carl Reinecke Flute Works" on April 24. The album features three works by Carl Reinecke, including "Flute Concerto in D major" and "Ballade for Flute and Orchestra in D minor," performed with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Vasily Petrenko.
The album also includes the sonata "Undine" for flute and piano, recorded with world-renowned pianist Lang Lang. It will be released on the Deutsche Grammophon label on April 24, with the first movement of "Undine" available for streaming starting April 3.
"I fell in love with Reinecke's music when I was thirteen," Han said. "I first encountered it through Jean-Pierre Rampal's recordings, and the flute concerto and Undine were the most important repertoire during my student years." The subject of her master's thesis was also Reinecke's flute concerto.
