Edward Gregson’s Aztec Dances began as a substantial piece for recorder and piano. Edward later reworked it for flute and piano for Wissam Boustany, who gave it’s first performance and this final version, for flute and ensemble, on an album featuring other works by Edward Gregson. Its vivid colours and ritualistic character were inspired by a British Museum exhibition exploring Aztec culture.
