Review by Steve Loewy While Peter Guidi is a magnificent flautist, it is the way he tastefully tinkers with tradition that makes this recording so deliciously listenable. Most of the tunes were composed by Guidi (with some exceptions, such as the gorgeously performed "Stardust" and "Alone Together"). Along the way, Guidi picks up a variety of flutes (bass, quarter tone, alto, and the customary instrument), and does more than simply blow -- he sings while he plays, clicks the keys, and adds assorted other effects, transforming his sound into something a bit new. Throughout is the absolutely beautiful music and a commitment to melodic invention. Guidi's rhythm sections support him ably, but he is clearly the engine that drives the show. The two recordings at Montefiori's castle in Italy spawn a lovely echo effect, but without the influence of any new age whispering. This one ought to excite fluto-philes and anyone else who simply enjoys a rich, deep voice that veers just enough off-course to snare and titillate.
