Masters At Work.......2005-10-20

One could not have a better combination of performers for a piece such as Mozart's flute quartets. All of them are virtuosos in their instruments and it sure sounds like it. These graceful pieces by Mozart will make you feel as if you're strolling down the park on a sunny day without care in the world. There is really nothing to discuss in terms of technical detail as the performances are flawless in almost every respect. I felt the performance was a little too fast in its interpretation for Mozart and the Rococco style but that is really a minor point. This is a great album for one's collection in which one can hear some of the greatest performers do Mozart's delicate flute quartets.

Nearly impossible to tire of listening to this recording...........1999-10-25

As a purchaser of classical, baroque, rock, and hip-hop music, "Mozart, The Flute Quartets" is an essential part of my listening mix and has been for several years. These selections are spirited in rhythm & tempo, and, are punctuated with the captivating dynamics of 4 world renowned musicians. In addition, the wonderful sonic quality of this 1986 DDD recording stands head and shoulders above most other classical cd's in my small collection. Perhaps the combination of Mozart, great musicianship, and, excellent digital reproduction leads me to be biased. However,please know that friends and family always comment favorably when they hear this cd. In my opinion, this specific recording would be an excellent choice as a gift.

Crisp and clean and seductively laid back is this nice collection of 31 pieces from the composer likes of Haydn, Mozart, Bach, Debussy, Telemann, et al, performed by the greatest flutists in the world such as Bennett, Galway, and Rampal.

Especially enjoying the Concerto in G by Vivaldi with harpsichord.

Mozart's flute quartets are about as high-class as musical wallpaper gets. Unfailingly charming in their melodic material, they skirt profundity but demonstrate admirable wit and joyful music-making. Emmanuel Pahud has made several recordings for EMI that have boosted him to the top rank of today's flute soloists, and this one will add to his growing luster. Still under 30, Pahud became principal flute of the Berlin Philharmonic at age 22, talking the seat once held by James Galway. He plays with a light, rounded tone and with the freedom of phrasing that finds interesting details where many others offer generalized boredom. His string partners take a back seat in this music, but they're unfailingly musical and hold their own in the music's interplay. A stylish, highly recommendable disc. --Dan Davis

Great chamber music with a few minor issues........2005-05-31

There is a lot of great chamber music here. The members of the Nash Ensemble sound excellent and perform the music with style and ease. There are a few minor things that bother me about the recording that may or may NOT bother another listener:

Clarinet Trio - brialliant playing by all three instrumentalists. Clarinet tone is especially good and the production is well balanced (unlike other recordings I've heard in which the viola part tends to be dominated by the other two). My only concern is that the piano, although wonderfully played, sounds distant.

Adagio and Rondo - is actually played on piano as opposed to the glass harmonica (the rare instrument for which the piece was originally written). It's a very common substitution in modern times.

Oboe Quartet - very well played by all, no complaints here

Horn Quartet - also well played, beautiful horn tone and ensemble balance is great. The rondo is taken very fast and is quite good. My only complaint is in some of the horn trills prior to cadences which I felt were a little timid for my taste.

Flute Quartets - all four are recorded here and are beautifully played. Tempos are great and style is perfect. One minor concern was the flute tone on some extreme register notes seemed just a tad "pipey", but perhaps this was a creative decision on the part of the artist.

Overall, this is an excellent recording of a great deal of Mozart's best chamber music. My rather picky observations would bring the rating to four and a half stars, but since reviewers cannot use half stars here, I shall do the decent thing and round up. Enjoy the music.

This is the earlier and fresher of two recordings of Mozart flute quartets by Jean-Pierre Rampal. In recent years, some of Rampal's performances and recordings have been so routine that they've obscured our memory of just how fine a player he was. This obviously was a fun session for the all-star ensemble that gathered to make the recording, with Alexander Schneider (from the great Budapest Quartet) making a rare appearance as violist. While you can't tell from the music that Mozart supposedly disliked the flute, none of these pieces is anywhere near his most profound. But they are Mozart and they are very well performed. --Leslie Gerber

Admirable and enjoying recordings!.......2005-02-05

These admirable versions of Mozart flute strings are a minuscule part of his immense musical legacy. And despite the very little knowledge of their significance they really are neglected and little known for the most of the great audiences.

The presence of such notable musicians such Isaac Stern, leonard Rose and Jean Pierre Rampal justify widely this choice.

They are splendid and charming works filled with refined elegance and spontaneous lyricism.

By far, the best option in the market.

Lovely Chamber Music.......2001-04-28

This is just an excellent CD and what a price--$...! Rampal on flute, Stern on violin and Schneider and Rose complete the ensemble.

I especially love the Quartect in C major, Theme and Variations with the play between flute/violin combo and cello. Rose's performance here is magnificent.

Delightful, relaxing music.

A great album!.......1999-12-02

I have gone to considerable expense to get hold of a CD of this album when I could no longer play my LP copy. The editorial review got it exactly right: This is a classical jam session. Enjoy!
