King of Prussia, PA – Theodore Presser Company is honored to announce the release of Camille Saint-Saëns’ Introduction et Rondo Capriccioso (114-41433 — Score and Part — $14.95) as arranged by Principal Flute of the Metropolitan Opera, Denis Bouriakov. An astounding talent, Bouriakov looks outside the standard flute repertoire for works that allow the flute to shine, and we are pleased to present this arrangement as performed on his 2009 recording of violin repertoire transcribed for flute. In Bouriakov's hands, the classic Saint-Saëns becomes a showcase for the flute, and fits seamlessly with standard orchestration as well as with its new piano reduction by Daniel Dorff.

Denis Bouriakov has been Principal Flutist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra since 2009 and has won numerous prizes at some of the world's most prestigious international competitions (including Jean-Pierre Rampal, Munich ARD and Kobe). He has made several recordings, and his first solo CD album, which was released in 2009, includes the world's premiere recording of the Sibelius Violin Concerto on the flute. He has been very active as soloist, orchestral player and teacher and, last year alone, his engagements took him to Greece, Iceland, USA, Japan, Korea, UK and Lithuania.
