Robert Muczynski (March 19, 1929 – May 25, 2010) was an American composer, on the neglected side like so many others who deserve/deserved higher visibility. He was born in Chicago and studied composition with Alexander Tcherepnin at DePaul University in the late 1940s. At age 29 he made his Carnegie Hall debut, performing a program of his own compositions for piano. The 35 movements of various works on the disc average under two minutes each; he is obviously terse--he tosses an attractive idea out and then goes on to the next thing. His mid-20th-century idiom is consistently engaging, and he writes very well for winds. The brief Movements for Wind Quintet is gorgeous, as is the Flute Duets Imo. If you are a fan of flute repertoire in general (I really am) I think you will really enjoy everything here. This was originally released on Marco Polo. Enjoy!

To good to be true,my ears and heart melt,thank you so much
What does this remind me of? don't know any more.My brain suffers from over musication.complain ,complain,complain.
Greetings again t.b.a. Well I'm happy to hear you are enjoying this one that much; It is lovely listening, and it's nice when a composer's music only really sounds like his or her own. (as opposed to hearing a dozen other composers "in the mix") HA....over "musication"....love it ;-) As always thanks for your thoughts and comments my friend!
I'm such a push-over for flute music! Especially when new to me. Again, your gift is well received.
Big thanx
Hey Flaviola, me too!! You are very welcome :) There's so much out there, lately I have been listening to the flute music of Gaubert and Joseph Jongen. Beautiful stuff. I must have a good 200+ discs of flute music, solo/sonatas/chamber, and quite a bit of Flute & Harp repertoire, which always makes me melt! -Have you listened to the BIS Flue & Harp disc I posted soon after I started this blog? -Regards
