Flutist and composer André Jolivet was the kind of musician who strictly avoided conformity and advocated for music that makes us feel “human.” Pairing the flute with a quartet of percussionists, he aimed to highlight the instruments closest to the “primal” senses and origin of music in his 1965 suite.
