"The music on Galway's French Recital CD is absolutely breathtaking. His tone on the Debussy pieces is phenomenal. Galway plays the technical portions of the Widor with ease and style. Whether you play the flute or just want some music of relaxation and inspiration, this CD is a winner."

"This french impressionist music is very beautiful.To play this music a flutist needs an excellent technique but also an excellent tone and Galway has both. There is no flutist that has a more suitable tone for this music as Galway does. This music explores a great variety of sound shades and that is what makes it so special and unique.Just listen to Debussy's L'Apres midi d'un faune and you will understand what do I mean.This music takes to a world of beautiful and fantastic sounds it is like having a dream full of music.Even if you don't like very much classical music you will enjoy it. Listen it it is like a relaxation therapy. This music really relaxes you.It is an excellent purchase."

A fine example of Galway at his best

"I purchased this cd for the Widor Suite. This recording is a worthy interpretation of that piece. I love Galway's sound, so substantial, so crystalline pure.



The other pieces on the album are lovely also."
