Search - James Galway :: Plays Khachaturian

One of the problems with the repertoire for solo flute is that there's so little of it once you get out of the Baroque period (where, to be perfectly honest, much of it sounds the same). The dearth of good material is particularly noticeable when it comes to music in the Romantic tradition, which is still most popular with classical audiences. Galway has taken this problem to heart and solved it with this flute transcription of Khachaturian's Violin Concerto. It was a shrewd choice, producing music that's tuneful, excellently scored, and easy on the ear. A good idea brilliantly realized. --David Hurwitz
