This review is from: Music for Flute and Percussion (Audio CD)

Marc Grauwels is one of my favorite living flutists. His sound, technique, intonation and time are usually exquisite and beyond reproach. I take issue with his performances on this recording on two fronts. First, he consistently plays horribly sharp above A4 or so. Second, the choice of material is positively reactionary. Most of the recording is performed on soprano flute and marimba: limited colors at best but this performance utilizes no extended techniques and hardly makes a contemporary statement. One might say that the recording is a little "dinosauric". There is so much great repertoire for flutes and percussion... Mr. Grauwels has hardly scratched the surface of the literature here.
