The Essential Emma Johnson

from: ASV

Release Date July 22, 2008
This CD is wonderful and has been exceptionally usefull for my A2 performance investigation; she plays so differently from many clarinettists and so gives me plenty to talk about. Hearing the 5 Bagatelles has been really good for my own performances too; I've learnt a lot by hearing another play the pieces.

The Reed of Pan - British Works for Flute, Vol.3

from: ASV

Release Date July 01, 1994
This is not easy litening but it is worthwhile litening. Unless you are a 20th C British Flute music boff (and probably therefore a flautist!) you may not have even heard of most of the works on this CD or the composers with the exception of Lloyd Webber, made famous by his sons and Finzi whoes son appears in Hillary and Jakie as Hillary's husband !

Back to the music. Very British, very pastoral but beautifully and delicately interpreted by Kennet Smith with skillfully blended with Paul Rhodes on piano.

For me the highlight 'Five Bagatelles' by Gerald Finzi. Originally written for clarinet I believe but they seem to work very well for the flute as arranged by Kenneth Smith and I would love the score of the arrangement.
