“Flautist Sophie Dufeutrelle''s Asia is an excellent, modern work for solo Flute. Considering that Dufeutrelle has been involved in many recordings, concerts, live spectacles, theatre works, as well as her teaching works being regularly used in conservatoires and music schools, this work for the Flute is composed with much experience and expertise. Asia begins with a glossary of extended techniques for performance. The work exploits the Flute with sound and breath sounds, ornamentation, articulation, improvisation and varied dynamics, among other aspects. Ideal for flautists seeking an introduction to modern repertoire and extended techniques, Dufeutrelle''s Asia is essential.&rdquo.

Charles Camilleri (1931 - 2009) was a Maltese composer. As a teenager, he composed a number of works based on folk music and legends of his native Malta. He moved from his early influences by Maltese folk music to a musical form in which nothing is fixed and his compositions evolve from themselves with a sense of fluency and inevitability. He composed over 100 works for orchestra, chamber ensemble, voice and solo instruments. Camilleri's work has been performed throughout the world and his research of folk music and improvisation, the influences of the sounds of Africa and Asia, together with the academic study of European music, helped him create a universal style. Camilleri is recognized in Malta as one of the major composers of his generation. He died on 3 January 2009 at the age of 77. His funeral took place two days later at Naxxar, his long-time town of residence. Flags across Malta were flown at half-mast in tribute to him.
