Robert Muczynski: Complete Works for Flute

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Robert Muczynski, born in 1929, has been sparsely represented on recordings since the early days of the LP. The 35 movements of various works on the disc average under two minutes each; he is obviously terse--he tosses an attractive idea out and then goes on to the next thing. His mid-20th-century idiom is consistently engaging, and he writes very well for winds. The brief Movements for Wind Quintet is gorgeous. Hawley plays strongly in every work (joined briefly by her former teacher Rampal in a work for duets), and the composer is still a very adept pianist. Naxos's sound is too resonant, but not enough to spoil an attractive disc. --Leslie Gerber

4 out of 5 stars For Flute Majors and Teachers Alike!.......2002-10-19

This cd helped in interpretation of 'Three Preludes for Unaccompanied Flute' for a recital. The liner notes even list the publishing info as a guide for students or a teacher wanting to purchase an edition to use along with the cd for lessons.

Alexandra Hawley and the late Jean-Pierre Rampal are terrific! It was wonderful to hear a composer on the cd as well. Muczynski on piano demonstrates to future performers of his works on how he wants it and makes the cd a true classic. I see this becoming a staple of our flute recording library!

5 out of 5 stars Essential for music library!.......2000-07-04

I found this an excellent recording. It is notable that the composer is also the pianist - it gives the listener a little something extra not found on every CD. The music on this CD is light, fun and beautiful. Jean-Pierre Rampal and Alexandra Hawley give terrific performance. I would recommend it to flutists and music lovers alike. Every song on this CD is wonderful. I think it is a necessity for a complete music library!
