This recording is a testament to Karajan's judgement, since the playing is brilliant and enjoyable in the highest degree, and though we usually don't think of Beethoven when we think of the flute (Debussy would probably come to mind first), the music on this cd shows that the man from Bonn could write great tunes when he wanted. I first heard the Serenade, op. 25 many years ago, but I never thought of getting a recording of it since many other, bigger works caught my attention. Now I know that I was just waiting for the perfect recording of it, which I think we have here, played with such style and panache that you can't resist. Written between the first two symphonies, this piece is just a pure delight of youthful verve and song. The performance is a stunner, since James Galway's musicianship and technique are in the category of virtuosity seldom heard. His breath control alone is impressive.
　　The other Serenade, the op.8 work, is actually a transcription of a string trio, in which the first violin part is transcribed for flute, a practice that was apparently common at one time, which adopted many string pieces in this way. The two other parts were transcribed for piano. It makes enjoyable listening, especially in such an excellent performance which shows complete knowledge of the idiom of this music. The Sonata in B flat(actually with no opus number) is also given a convincing reading, proving it to be a work deserving more familiarity, since it was never listed by either Beethoven or scholars among his known compositions, though why is not clear.
　　The other performers here deserve mention, since they fully abet the Man with the Golden Flute in making this a delightful release. Phillip Moll plays the piano parts of the Serenade, op. 8 and of the Sonata very well, fully supporting the soloist, as do Joseph Swenson on violin and Paul Neubauer on viola in the Sernade, op. 25. RCA provides clear and warm sound which puts the listener in an intimate setting perfect for the music.
