Customer Reviews of The Romantic Flute
The flute unleashed! The most vividly alive flute-playing you're ever going to hear -- wildly exhilarating, fiercely intelligent, bursting with joy . This isn't dainty playing -- Robison drives purists nuts with her full-bodied, damn-the-torpedoes tone. But even in its quietest, most lyrical moments, this is flute-playing set on fire. Unfortunately there's not a lot of music of consequence here -- but the musicianship will be a revelation to anyone who's never experienced Robison.
Ah, so-so for these pieces
After my professors were raving about this particular cd, I had purchased it only to wonder if anyone else notices her airy tone? It drove me crazy. I also don't care for her vibrato.
I did think the best tracks were performances of Godard. The Gaubert pieces were also worth listening to more than once. The Genin version of 'Carnival' was terrible. Find the Briccaldi version and give it to Mark Sparks or Sir James Galway but please skip Robison's attempt!
I'm sure if I were to pick up other Paula Robison cds, I might enjoy her fluffy approach to playing. That sound is appropriate for french repertoire but the cd left me wanting a do-over.
The Best
Paula is such a consistent player if it be on stage or in the recording studio. Her endless pursuit to find the line in the music comes through in every piece she playes. In the Nel Cor Piu, truly listen to how she yanks every last bit of romantic quality out of the music and provides the listener with facinating interpretaion never heard previously. Paula is always striving to do something new to a piece never thought up before. It's like it was always there but, she is the only one to find it, making this CD a treasure amongst other recordings of these works. The only setback is the sometimes loud breaths Paula takes. It sounds like the throat needs to be opened a tad more, but if that holds you back, perfect techinique, incredible phrasing, dazzling color changes should help you overlook an occasional loud breath.
