"This is a good James Galway CD. The one that I recommend the most is "James Galway and Christopher O'Riley: The French Recital". However, I have not been able to find that on Amazon, so it may be hard to find in general, I"m not sure since I've had my copy for ages. This is my second favorite James Galway CD. He is a master of the flute, his musical is beautiful, and it either lull you into a peaceful trance, if it is a slow and melodic song, or get your feet tapping and have you humming along, if it is a faster composition. Most of the songs in "Tango Del Fuego" are fast, dancy-type songs. I love the songs because they remind me of being in Spain, and the Spanish rhythms are so catchy and entertaining. This CD does have a commericialized and therefore non-authentic feel to it in certain parts, which is why I rate it four stars instead of five. I definitely recommend Galway's "The French Recital", or another of his classical albums. However, for modern and commercialized fun, "Tango del Fuego" is the way to go. It combines Galway's awesome musical talents on the flute with a very upbeat and modern style, and you will fall in love with both the flute and the Spanish culture while listening to "Tango Del Fuego"."
