Great Galway

"To my knowledge Galway has recorded these pieces twice; once here with Marriner/ASMIF an once with the LSO. This Marriner performance outdoes the LSO performance by a hair because Marriner put a light under the orchestra's fanny and made the ASMIF call and respond to Galway with spine-tingling logic. Here we hear the fantastic flute concertos transformed from the usual haughty flutters disjointed from the orchestra to complete drama with no unecessary parts. I recommend this CD without reservation, though you should check out Rampal's version (Mehta), Tripp's version (Bohm), and Aurele Nicolet's version (Zinman) as well - not to mention the LSO Galway version, which takes fine advantage of the orchestra's dark-silk sonority."

"Mozart's concerto for flute & harp is a music I always enjoy listening to. I used to have LP recording 30 years ago. Now I have it in CD.

The music is well played by Academy of St. Martin in the Fields."

Beautiful Album!

"This is a wonderful addition to my classical collection, and recommend it to anyone who enjoys flute or harp. Can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this one."
