4.0 out of 5 stars There'll always be a Galway, October 10, 1999

Of course this is a 5-star production, but I deducted a star only because any one who has been collecting Galway recordings already has all or most of the selections on this CD. As with other artists, BMG has been repackaging earlier Galway offerings under many names and excuses; is the simply the latest (though certainly not last) in the series. The music is the usual mixture of short pieces that can stand on their own and movements that cannot out of the context of the larger works from which they are lifted.

Still I put this CD on as background music to a dinner and it worked just fine. So like most Galway collections, it makes for some lovely listening when doing something else or just relaxing. In fact, when your baby gets tired of those Bach for Babies sets, try Galway as a very nice substitute. Hey, BMG! How's that for a packaging idea?

I love this album and am very pleased to own it. I enjoy classical, ballet music, flute music, and happy uplifting music and find this album to be a delight. Amazon service was great.

If you like the sound of a flute playing classical music, you will love this CD. I believe Gallway is the best flutist in the world.
