At the consent of one of my most excellent former teachers, Rick Breitstein, I have included bellow my favorite flute CD of all time, and that is saying a lot. Use it for inspiration and study on the musical and technical possibilities on the flute. If you're a student of mine and miss listening to these tracks you are missing out.
You also will find recordings of myself playing solo works and orchestral pieces which contain famous flute solos.
