Rexicano: I think all this argument about Galway is a matter of personal taste concerning flute players. I do love Maxence Larrieu version of Mercadante and do not like Galway version at all - too 'light and happy' for MY taste. I prefer for example William Bennet badinerie. I prefer Rampal´s version of Tartini concert for example...but this does not mean that Galway is a lousy player, on the contrary: is wonderful. Listen to his Vivaldi four seasons, the guy has good ideas

I´m not a hard die fan of Galway, but he is indeed a fantastic player, and for sure one of the best flutist in the world. Sometimes I think all this people critizing him are just repeating what some of their teachers told them, z.b. that his Bach´s sonatas interpretation are out of style and that sort of comments. But if you listen it when your ears and mind open IS PURE BEAUTY. Or listen the 'pastorale' concerto by J. Rodrigo, or his Khachaturian´s, or his Mendelsohnn, etc. These are GREAT

Happy Birthday James Galway :)

I agree with Rexicano. Alain Marion was a fantastic flute player I listened to him several times in France. He was really refined and had a sound very rich and not so vulgar!
