Not goodSeptember 19, 2004 E. Wanning 4 out of 8 found this review helpful
I am a huge James Galway fan, but I thought this recording was strangely off. He just seemed to be toodling his way along without a sense of direction, and the lines of the music didn't come through -- at least not to me. There were some good moments, but not enough, and some moments when I could swear he was actually off-key or not quite in sync with the other two musicians. I'm tossing it.

Irishman, James Galway, is the 'most oustanding flautist of his generation', as is stated in the liner notes. This is Chamber music at its best. I am no expert when it comes to Classical music, but I do know what I like, and I also know good music when I hear it. This is an album that is easily accessible to people who, like myself, are just begginning to discover the wonders of this type of music. You most certainly do not need to be a Classical afficionado to appreciate the beauty of this album. It is my first introduction to James Galway, but certainly not my last.

This is a must recording for all bach's and flute lovers. Galway shows a technical skill that makes this interpretation even better of Rampal, Nicolet or Larrieu, with a precise timing and phrasing. The excesive sound processing and non very Barroque interpretation can be a weak point for the most classical and ortodox audience, who probably prefer Aurel Nicolet. Anyway, this is the spatial sound i like!.
