5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful performances and quite beautiful music, February 25, 2001

I am very impressed by both the music selections and, more importantly, the wonderful performance. Ms. Young plays beautifully and with a true feel for the music. This, combined with an excellent musical rapport with Ms. Selden, gives a real life to these well chosen selections of Argentinian music. I highly reccomend this CD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Flute CD - even my plumber liked it!, March 2, 2001

I love this recording! As a fellow flutist, I can appreciate the high level of technical ability and musicianship demonstrated by Ms. Young in "...a little tango in her blood". In addition to her soaring, lyrical sound and impeccable intonation, Ms. Young has a wonderfully intuitive sense of style and feel for the music. I would recommend this recording for all types, from classical music buffs to the casual listener.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting Some Tango in Your Blood, February 21, 2001

Alison Young, a flute recitalist of great poise and technical security, dazzling precision and virtuosic flare and the Principle Flute of the Houston Ballet Orchestra, demonstrates her considerable talents in ALISON YOUNG ... A LITTLE TANGO IN HER BLOOD. This work on the Albany Records label takes full advantage of Alison Young's experiences in Argentina as a musician artist-in-residence in 1998, performing and teaching in the regions of Patagonia, La Plata, Buenos Aires and Corrientes. Alison Young recreates the atmosphere of the native music of Argentina in a way that will transport you to South America. Composers highlighted in this work include Astor Piazzolla, Carlos Guastavino, Alberto Ginastera, Angel Lasala, Hector Gallac and Horacio Salgan. A newspaper in Argentina (Rio Negro) reported on "...Alison Young, with a little tango in her blood" and this wonderful collection of flute pieces will surely put a little tango in your blood as well.
