Contemporary Classical Ocarina Music - Conrad Steinmann

While looking through the myriad excellent performances on Conrad Steinmann's YouTube channel, I found these interesting works for ocarina. I mainly knew of him previously for his recorder, flageolet and aulos playing but it's nice to know there's a small contingent of high-level players of other instruments interested in the ocarina!

Alrune - Roland Moser (originally for recorder but reworked for ocarina with the composer's blessing)

Oka and the Rhino - a bit more avant-garde than most ocarina players would be used to. Try to keep an open mind!

Thank you, its interesting to see how he is playing an instrument with the left pinky hole blocked, do you know anything about why he did this?
