To be accurate, this collection should have been entitled "Transcriptions of Romantic Music for Flute and Harp" since all but three of the pieces were arranged by harpist N ra Mercz. Beyond that quibble, the disc is a pleasant but fairly bland confection that is almost too perfectly suited for background listening. The combination of J nos B lint's consistently sweet flute playing and Mercz's reverberant accompaniment may be agreeable in small doses, but the charm wears off after only a few tracks. Taken individually, each piece is well executed and played with warmth, and listeners will find many of them to be familiar. Bizet's Intermezzo from Carmen and his Minuet from L'Arl sienne are among the best known, along with Gluck's Dance of the Blessed Spirits, Mozart's Andante, and the "Hindu Song" from Sadko by Rimsky-Korsakov. Massenet's M ditation from Tha s is also famous, but as a rapturous, ephemeral violin solo; the transition to the flute's rounder sonority is not quite successful. Debussy's En bateau and Ravel's Vocalise- tude en forme de Habanera offer a slight change of mood, though this may not matter if the duo's tone colors have already started to pall. The Chopin Variations and Strauss' Tritsch-Tratsch Polka are the liveliest selections, though the contrast they provide is too little, too late.
