CD Reviews

Magnificent constrast and color.
05/10/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here is a recording that at last does justice to the extraordinary music of Hotteterre. Hotteterre's music is surely some of the most lyrical and melodic music ever written for the transverse flute. It some of the first music ever written to feature the instrument. Dupré breathes new life into these three suites, which are both joyous and dark. The color produced by the skilled combination and variance of harpsichord, viola ga gamba, and theorbo playing the continuo part is fantastic. This is a superlative recording, worthy of a price many times what it is. I have heard several recordings of these suites, and this is certainly the best."
Early flute music is enjoyable for some

"This CD and its pair (vol. 2 - a recommended CD!) are perhaps everything that it means to be a CD of early music for the transverse flute. The somewhat outdated sound of the harpsichord with the breathy aspect of the flute may no longer be the style, however it is still beautiful.



It takes some level of appreciation to enjoy Hotteterre's music as played on the transverse flute. Hotteterre composed beautiful music for the flute, perhaps some of the nicest of the time. His compositions have beautiful moments, exciting moments... everything good music needs.



However, the typical style is one that can occasionally be obtrusive or simply annoying. If you don't really love the transverse flute and its buddies, perhaps this isn't the disc for you. While it is a CD of fun and lovely music, well played and presented well, it may not be for everyone.



Recommended for transverse flute fans, for anyone looking for something pretty and old, or simply just a music fan who really wants something new and very good. It's a great CD, but perhaps it's not for everyone."
