AGP73 is a new
departure for the Avant Garde Project in that it is neither an LP nor
CD transcription. Its five tracks feature the astonishing flute playing
of Richard Craig, a Scottish flautist who made his London debut in 2005
to exuberant reviews. Mr. Craig has selected an intriguing repertoire
of highly demanding modern works for solo flute, which he plays with a
command and sensitivity that takes my breath away (note flute pun). The
rich, detailed recording by Douglas Whates does full justice to the
musicianship. I'm really excited about this installment. My thanks to all involved for offering this wonderful music for free download. For more information on Mr. Craig, see www.richardcraig.net. Mr. Craig's notes on these performances are included in a txt file with the installment. To download
