| Review | "Here is an attractive collection of French music written or transcribed for flute and composed between 1879 and 1934. With three of the not over long pieces originally written for violin and only three originally for flute, either solo or with piano, the remaining two items, by Ravel and Pierné, were transcribed for flute and piano. Nevertheless, we are transported to a period when much music was being written for the instrument and this collection of 8 pieces mks satisfying listening. One piece, Joueurs de flute, is in four sections, each one dedicated to present or past French masters of the instrument and expressed as solo items. The inclusion of music by Roussel and Pierné assists in the object of including minor French composers with their better known compatriots and flautist Ransom Wilson and pianist François Dumont make the whole disc a delight to listen to. In a December 2015 excellent recording there is nothing to cause a bad word to be written of this enterprise!"- Arthur Francis |
