Music recommendations, please

She should definitely look at the Mozart Concerto K314. It is studied, performed and recorded for both oboe and flute. She can therefore play it both ways. There are many recordings available by both instruments. There are two other Flute Concertos as well that you can usually get on the same CD (K313 and K315).

Give her a print out of these adobe format papers from the University of Colorado for some background.

There is also Mozart's Concerto for Flute and Harp which is just wonderful.

If you have a Tower Records, Borders, Barnes & Noble, there may be separate flute sections for James Galway and Jean Pierre Ramphal in many music styles. A fine Oboe player is Heinz Holliger. Mr. Ramphal also played a little jazz on the side.

Sean, I actually did think of Ian Anderson also. I figured a young women would hear Jethro Tull and go "Yuk"!!! I was not aware of that other recording.

There is nice James Galway recording of Japanese melodies that I have on LP. It may now be on CD?? It is called something like "Songs (or Sounds) of the Seashore".
