Album Notes

The music I have chosen for this CD represents a sampling of the rich repertoire flutists are lucky to have. Whether it is Debussy telling us the story of Syrinx and his pan pipes, or Milhaud taking us through lively and interesting juxtapositions for flute and piano, each composition evokes a world of its own individual style, sonorities and sensibilities. I hope you enjoy the music and it leaves you with your own impressions.
