Chris Hankin –
Transcribing wonderful songs for the flute is always a good idea, especially if the arrangements are as classy as these. The choice of songs is very appealing too. Schubert and Schumann are perennial favourites, and the addition of songs by Fanny Mendelsshon and Clara Schumann to fly the flag for the women, and Richard Strauss and Alban Berg which are more challenging to interpret, give this volume an extra depth. They are all lovely – sing your way round the flute! – Chris Hankin, Just Flutes
