Great GalwayJul 06, 2005
By S. Greer
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.

 Galway, Marriner, and ASMF make Mozart meltingly beautifulApr 02, 2010
By Andrew R. Barnard
I expected this recording to be very good, and it has lived up to all of my standards. In fact, it surpassed them. Galway's flute playing bristles with life, and Marriner's conducting is a wonderful complement to Galway's playing. Too often, Mozart is simply made into non-descript background music. Not here. Rather, Mozart's music is made very exciting, yet at the same time, meltingly beautiful. I'm not a big Mozart fan, but I am very pleased with this album. If you want an album that will keep you awake but calm and relaxed at the same time, this album is a great choice.

ExcellentFeb 06, 2010
By Maria Eugenia
"ME"
It's great. I am not a musician so I wont comment on the execution, however I found this music relaxing, and the selection in this CD is specially great. I love the Concerto for Flute and Harp, K.299 above all.

Heavenly MusicJan 05, 2010
By C. Hayman
The sound of this album is so heavenly that it is impossible to play it, even in the backgound, without remarking about the experience. The flute becomes a part of the overall magnificent sound.
