Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.co.uk Review
In specially commissioned new arrangements for flute quartet, all authorised by Paul McCartney himself, the Montreal-based Quatuor la flûte enchantée have seized upon the ex-Beatle's great gift for creating simple but memorable melodies. First up is a lightly handled transcription into three miniature dance forms--by turns playful, wistful and elegiac--of the "Love in the Open Air" theme from the 1966 film IThe Family Way/I. More substantial fayre is provided by the autobiographical ILiverpool Oratorio/I, McCartney's first "classical" composition proper. Co-written in 1991 with the composer-conductor and fellow Liverpudlian Carl Davis, its full dramatic scale and impact seems rather diluted by instruments as light and airy as flutes. The most satisfying work is IA Leaf/I. Originally composed for solo piano, its pleasing details and sultry atmospheres are all beautifully picked out on flute. The setting of IDistractions/I from the 1989 IFlowers in the Dirt/I pop album provides a diverting conclusion. One for McCartney completists certainly, although be warned: an hour of flute music can sound considerably longer. --IMichael Quinn/I
