Back on this record again.
Lovely recording of spiritual music beautifully executed.
Really exploits the light airy nature of my speakers.
Delightful.

It is often commented that Mozart did not like writing for the flute but I think that he actually wrote some wonderful music for the instrument.

I agree with you: Mozart did write beautiful music for the flute and the performances by Bennett and the Grumiaux are quite special.

I am looking forward to reading you thoughts on that cycle. The reviewer on CD Review (his name escapes me) loved the set, I do too.
