5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Buy for Any Flute Lover!, March 4, 2005
A Kid's Review
I've been playing for 4-5 years too, and I can't say enough about what an inspiration this CD has been for me. I should say CD's; there are two CD's, one has more classical music and the other is more contemporary. James Galway is and always has been the model flutist, and this collection of songs are indeed his very best. Check out the fantastic sound clips, particularly "Ashokan Farewell" and "I Will Always Love You." It's so pretty it could make me cry, and I am not an emotional person. Some people think Sir James over-vibrates, but I don't think so. His tone is especially nice in these CD's. You won't regret buying this. I wish I could have rated it higher! Be careful when opening the CD case though because the middle layer swings outwards instead of flipping over like a book. I almost broke the case trying to open it like a book, as that's how most cases are inside.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flutes, April 13, 2004
A Kid's Review
This guy plays so beautifully and soothingly it's scary. I've played the flute for 4 years and the way he hits high E, F, and G it's amazing. If you play the flute and want to listen to a pro this this is the cd to buy. It has titanic, disney, and popular song yet it also has classical and broadway stuff. Did you know he played most of the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack? That cd won Grammys and Oscars. It is definately the album to buy if you want to hear a flute.
