Title: Pretty dull, very out of tune.
Review: I have listened to this recordings several times now, and still have yet to see what particularly recommends it. I don't accept the proposal that See's lack of consistent intonation is a necessary (and salutary) byproduct of the baroque flute, as I have heard Hazelzet's recording, in which the intonation actually accords with the temperament of the harpsichord (Moroney and See are on different planets with respect to temperament).I find the choices of tempi and articulation rather ho-hum and "historically informed pro forma." The tempo of the "slow movement" of the B-minor Sonata (which they play as if every sonata has to have a truly slow movement in order to be legitimate) yields a particularly-elephantine emphasis on every eighth note.
Is the review positive or negative?
