A wonderful disc. Miss Bezaly is a fantastic flautist with musicality to match. As other site reviewers have noted, not all these pieces were written for flute (and one wasn't even arranged by Mozart) but one would never realise given the response of Bezaly and her accompanist.
The allegro's are played in a very spirited manner (without a trace of anything but selfless virtuosity) and the andante's sing beautifully from Bezaly's flute. The Ostrobothnian Chamber Orchestra under Juha Kungas are vivid in their response. The one area of potential controversy will be the cadenza's employed by Bezaly: Kalevi Aho wrote these "interludes" which feed on Mozart's material but some aspects are decidedly not Mozartian - the range & harmonic language mainly. I enjoy these tremendously refreshing ideas but fully appreciate that not everyone will - they take a certain amount of adjustment compared to the more conventional cadenzas usually favoured.
The recording is well up to the house standard and is tremendously well balanced.
Enjoyable.
