Jon Gallant: >...Jacques Ibert's flute concerto strikes me as quite attractive, >and not disfigured by this composer's usual excessive cuteness. Maybe >other people have other favorites. Those by CPE Bach in D Minor and by Malcolm Arnold have long been favourites. John McCabe's, which I acquired only recently (coupled with his fourth symphony), was a pleasant surprise. The pick of the crop for me is Nielsen's. And much though I love Mozart, I've never taken to any of his concertos which feature the flute. Richard Pennycuick [log in to unmask]
