Mozart referred to the flute as "an instrument which I cannot bear." You would never guess that to have been the case from his three flute concertos, one jointly with harp.
While The 1st flute concerto is typical Mozart with a delightful third movement, it is the 2nd. concerto which offers more variation in mood and tempo and more opportunities for the solo instrument. Both are very good concertos but not in the same class as his clarinet or bassoon concertos.
Mozart wrote so much good music that some of it can sound almost the same. However the concerto for flute and harp offers something different: original and, at times, breathtakingly beautiful. Sir James Galway is, as usual, on excellent form but on this occasion I believe he is outshone by the Spanish harpist Marisa Robles, whose nimble fingers make this a delight to the ear. For the full 29 minutes this concerto is enthralling. The CD would be worth purchasing for this version of the flute and harp concerto alone.
My congratulations to the sound engineers who have ensured a recording where the flute remains soothing and mellow, rather than being piercing or shrill in its upper registers.
Seventy minutes of magic flute and sublime harp. Highly recommended.

I expected this recording to be very good, and it has lived up to all of my standards. In fact, it surpassed them. Galway's flute playing bristles with life, and Marriner's conducting is a wonderful complement to Galway's playing. Too often, Mozart is simply made into non-descript background music. Not here. Rather, Mozart's music is made very exciting, yet at the same time, meltingly beautiful. I'm not a big Mozart fan, but I am very pleased with this album. If you want an album that will keep you awake but calm and relaxed at the same time, this album is a great choice.

My tastes in music are many & varied but at the end of a busy day or when you are ready for a little relaxation you can't go wrong with Wolfgang.Good recording at a good price. Mozart: Flute Concertos; Concerto for Flute & Harp
