Flute Concerto No.1 Op.70
- dedicated to Emily Beynon.
- Berg is one of a handful of composers who are able to create the rare experience of enchanted silence in their music – Berg's Flute Concerto No.1 Op.70 contains several such moments. Even though his tools are a "conventional" orchestra using "conventional" instruments, an unreal atmosphere of calm and celestial flight arises. One of the most fascinating aspects in this regard is that he does not use any minimalist or modernist devices at all; he simply allows the music and its inner qualities to speak in full. In our current age of constant hectic activity, where it is barely permitted to think a complete thought, music such as this is of the greatest importance: it gives the listener the chance to experience time as a benefit and not as a punishment. The concerto is dedicated to the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's eminent flautist Emily Beynon, and it received its premier performance in London in February 2009. Wolfgang Plagge

Fred Jonny Berg - Biography
Music for strings by Fred Jonny Berg
– Fred Jonny Berg's music reaches into your heart and soul, and it presents you with many surprises. The music is fascinating - that is what is essential to me. It creates reactions and is appealing. I know that an increasing number will become aware of this special and talented composer. I hope that more orchestras will perform his music.
