New album
“Ostium” is a selection of works from medieval, traditional and oriental sources featuring different ancient and modern flutes and recorders, drawing a rich tapestry of early flute sounds and melodies that inspired and formed later Euopean musical culture on many levels. Greek flutist Dimitris Kountouras performs these pieces together with his ensemble Ex Silentio.
Dimitris Kountouras’ Ostium: Early Flute Monodies is a mesmerizing journey through the haunting melodies of the medieval world, centered on the rich musical heritage of his native Greece. This stunning album showcases Kountouras’ masterful artistry on a variety of early flutes, each track offering a glimpse into the expressive depths of ancient musical traditions.
