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 have started dipping into this cycle with some of the early symphonies....

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.
