Customer Reviews:
Subtle, lively, glowing
I found this disc to be something really special. There’s more music in every bar than in the whole works of many another composer. And the performers go to town with it. Radiant solo performances and fine recording. This is what Mozart is all about.

Clarity and Transcendence
This recording remains, for me, the definitive expression of Mozart’s flute concertos. The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, with Susan Palma-Nidel, performs with great clarity and precision, and in so doing, achieves a level of transcendence not heard in other recordings. Ms. Palma-Nidel balances both delicacy and strength in her performance, providing a subtle and enhancing tension. This is a fundamental and glorious recording.

Try this instead…
I have four versions of the flute and harp concerto by Mozart, including this one,but the one version I find to be superior is the Hickox rendition on Hyperion, which Amazon offers. The warmth of the playing, the perfect tone of the sound, and the obvious care in production on that cd highlights the indifference of the playing on this one.

Very good!
As much as I like this CD, I’ve heard a few other versions of these concertos that are slightly better. The cadenzas were a little more virtuostic and the performances were slightly better. You could check out the flute concertos on the Laserlight label. That’s a good one, although the Vienna Mozart Ensemble sound on the Flute & Harp concerto was like inside a small room. James Galway, on another CD, made one of the best renditions of the flute concertos (specifically the CD with Sir Neville Marriner). If you were to get one of the 2 CDs I just mentioned, only be aware that they don’t have the Adagio for Flute and Orchestra. I don’t mean to say that this Deutsche Grammophon CD should be avoided. The Orpheus Chamber Orchestra usually makes very fine recordings. The performance is very good. The sound is distinctive. If you do get this CD, chances are, you might decide to keep it.

Mozart: Flute Concerto, K313; Andante for Flute & Orchestra
This is the quintessential recording of the Mozart Orchestral Flute Repertoire. Ms. Palma has been a member of the renowned Orpheus Chamber Orchestra since 1980 and is one of the leading flutists in the World. Her incomparable tone, phrasing and understanding of these pieces, coupled with the usual Orpheus magic make this THE version of these pieces to own. Ms. Palma’s tone is her calling card, enabling her to convey the beauty of the pieces with the coolness and ease of a jazz artist. She avoids the tight, perfunctory “perfect” reading most flutists project and the cadenzas (which she composed herself) are marvelous. A beautiful recording by Deutsche Grammaphon

    Worth the price.
    My husband and I looked everywhere for a decent grill cover. We have a round BBQ kettle grill and all we could find at our local stores was covers for gas grills. We tried a couple of cheaper covers for kettle grills that we bought out of town and they were terrible. Either they cracked when it got cold or they ripped taking them on and off. This cover is definitely worth the extra money spent. It is very heavy fabric, not plastic, repels water, and goes on and off easily. My only complaint is that it is desinged for three legged grills only so there aren’t enough elastic loops to go aroung all four legs on our grill. The elastic aroung the bottom keeps it snug though so I don’t foresee this being a problem. Overall we are very pleased. Definitely reccommended.

    Fit Great!!
    This cover fit great! I used it on a square topped barbeque grill and ordered it hoping it would work. It couldn’t fit any better. I like that the cover has elastic and actually fits over the legs to keep the cover on securely. I bought the sand color and I was surprise and happy with not only the color, but the genuine quality of the materials that it is made of….I am using the cover for winter protection, but this cover is so nicely constructed and fits so well, that it could be used all season round!

    Takes a licking…
    Gets used every day in a hot kitchen atmosphere and has performed flawlessly. Great little unit.

    very pleased
    Very pleased with my purchase, very fast shipping, couldn’t beleive that it was used. Outside of the outer plastic case broken it appeared brand new and works like it is brand new. Great deal, great product and great service. Buy with confidence

    Wonderful
    So far, this little ipod has done everything I’ve expected it to. It works great and I love all the features. Now I just need more memory as I get more music and pictures to put on it!

    Perfect
    Ipod nano was in perfect shape and fully functional. It arrived ahead of the delivery date and filled the void left by a malfunctioning older model.

    Amazon Ipod Nano Packing
    The product was delivered on time as promised and it worked. But it came in a largish (compared to the Nano) box and it was packed with 1 air blister. You could hear the thing rattling around in the box. That the Nano worked is testament to Apple, not Amazon. The Amazon packing job really was not good at all - sloppy.

    Remarkably moving music
    I had no idea what I was getting when I bought this CD; it has become one of my most listened-to albums. Arnold had a genius for romantic melody that moves the soul. I believe his fame will grow in the 21st century as the silliness of modern atonal music is forgotten and the eternal values of melody and beauty regain their place in western culture.
