Recommended Discography List

Here, I have compiled a concise list of my favorite flute recordings. However, since my familiarity with the vast body of flute recordings is limited, I am certain that I have unintentionally omitted numerous excellent recordings.  If you have produced your own CD or would like to recommend another CD for me to consider for this list please contact me at laura@laurabarron.net and I will be happy to listen and include it.

Note: I have selected only one recording by each artist. In doing so, I have either chosen my favorite or the one which provides the greatest variety of repertoire, avoiding too much repetition within the library. Certainly, many of these flutists have several other recording which I would recommend. Most of these other CD’s as well as the specific repertoire on each recording can be found in the fluteworld.com catalogue.
