Emmanuel Pahud has earned a reputation, not only as an outstanding musician (who happens to play the flute), but also as a man who is simply drop-dead-gorgeous. I highly, highly, highly recommend his recordings to ANY musician. You won't hear better flute playing - anywhere. In addition to having an incredible sound, impeccable technique, perfect intonation, and breathtaking musicianship, he probably has the widest dynamic range I have ever heard from a flutist. I had the privilege of hearing him live before I had any clue who he was, and I was completely blown away. I can't be emphatic enough: buy this man's recordings. E.P.'s #1 fan, Jocelyn
