Contemporary Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi moved to Paris in 1998. Uebayashi's works have been met with much success in both Japan and France Au Delà Du Temps for 2 Flutes and Piano being no exception. Flautist Jean Ferrandis described Uebayashi's music as 'gems that although they are so different they yet belong to the same world a world of vivacity dreams tenderness humour and one that is subtly contradicted by vehemence virtuosity melancholy and sorrow.' Au Delà Du Temps contains four movements; 1) The distant light of the night 2) Thedancing light 3) The white light and 4) The rotating light in the dream. Au Delà Du Temps is modern in style exploiting tonality rhythm and the ensemble. A typical performance lasts about 18 minutes. Uebayashi's Au Delà Du Temps for 2 Flutes and Piano is a sublime addition to the ensemble repertoire.
