Album Description

She has taught at Houston Community College, and served as Professor of Flute at the Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon and the Escuela Superior de Musica y Danza, both in Monterrey, Mexico.

    5 out of 5 stars Great CD!.......2006-08-24

    Ben has a wonderful bassoon sound and really puts feeling into his music. I very much enjoyed the wide variety of pieces chosen for this CD. I had never heard Etude No. 5 by John Steinmetz before. What a nice arrangement of "The Streets of Laredo!" Ben's recording inspired me to buy the music.

            Flute lovers will be grateful to Merrie Siegel for putting together this marvelous collection of pieces from North and South America, most of which are all but unknown outside their native countries. If you're already familiar with some of this music, you'll be enchanted by Siegel's fresh and distinctive, yet faithful, interpretations. If you don't yet know these works, you're in for a double treat: the astounding diversity of this truly American collection, coupled with the virtuosity of Siegel's flawless performances.

            5 out of 5 stars Playing at the highest levels.......2004-06-20

            Fantastic virtuoso playing...not just "fingers," though...Incredible beauty, too. Wish I played like that!

            5 out of 5 stars Excellent - one of the best.......2004-04-11

            She's a terrific flute player and this is very cool repertoire that you almost never get a chance to hear (in the US, at least). I highly recommend it.

            5 out of 5 stars A Players Review.......2004-04-08

            Ms. Siegel's focus on the Music of the Americas is a welcome addition to my collection. This recording demonstrates her skills with the instrument and her intonations provide a color and vibrance to the selections.

            5 out of 5 stars Players analysis of CD.......2004-04-08

            As a flute player I have heard the album and was pleased at the focus of the compositions, the Americas. Ms. Siegel's techniques are impressive and her intonations make the pieces vibrant and colorful. The variety of selections makes the CD a valuable addition to my collection.
