These five short pieces are all very appealing. Bathing the flute in spring sunshine, the' Allegro amiable' and 'Light and airy' are charming while the Allegretto is a little more dramatic. There is a darker feel to the Andante affetuoso and Upbeat! is given direction by a syncopated accompaniment which allows the flute to dance around joyfully above it. Each movement would stand along and would be great as an encore. Easy listening at its best!
