This recording sets a new pinnacle for flutists in regards to performance of gorgeous new literature for the flute. Laurel Zucker sets a very high standard for the genre of solo flute performance.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title: "Inflorescence - Music for Solo Flute"
"On this two-CD set Zucker plays the core of the 20th century literature for solo flute. Holding a listeners attention for over two hours of any solo instrument is an accomplishment, but Zucker carries off this feat with ease with her brilliant technique, variety of colors, and convincing interpretations. Included are solo pieces by Ibert, Liebermann, Muczynski, Feld, Honegger, Hindemith, Francaix, Kuhlau, Takemitsu, Hovhaness, Fukushima, Kay, Blumberg, Nielsen, and Varese. Last are three pieces by Zucker herself. In fact my only reservation about all these fine recordings she is bringing out is that I fear this may be distracting her from writing her own compositions. She is a composer who deserves much wider recognition."
