CD Reviews

Five resounding stars!

Thomas C. Nagy | Ebensburg, PA USA | 09/28/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mark Sparks has recorded here a wonderful collection of lesser known flute literature. His tone is incredible, his intonation flawless. He has a sense of phrasing that most flutists cannot produce without suffering the tone quality. For me, his performance of the Hindemith Sonata is the best recording available. Also worth mentioning is the balance between soloist and pianist. Great literature-great performances-great CD!"

Sparked my interest!

"This cd is rated one of my favorites and still gets played- I used it to compare arrangements for performances and now mostly for enjoyment. Whenever I give a student one of the solos listed, I instruct them to listen to Mark Sparks and be amazed by his passion for flute playing.Mark Sparks plays on a Burkart flute for this cd. What an endorsement for Burkart! He's "pure gold."I'm not sure if he has any other albums but I will be sure to collect all of them as Mark Sparks really does sing on his instrument. If you enjoy the personality of Sir James Galway's playing with the brightness of Jim Walker- check him out."
