Charles Koechlin (27 November 1867 – 31 December 1950) was a French composer, teacher and writer on music. Koechlin was enormously prolific. He was highly eclectic in inspiration and musical technique, and his music was distinct from his contemporaries. He was a passionate enthusiast for such diverse things as medieval music, The Jungle Book of Rudyard Kipling, Johann Sebastian Bach, film stars (especially Lilian Harvey and Ginger Rogers), traveling, stereoscopic photography and socialism. Despite his lack of worldly success, Koechlin was apparently a loved and venerated figure in French music.

  3. Since there is no review (yet) on this disc, I would like to comment briefly. The performances on this disc are excellent. Interestingly, Ronald has made available another disc with flute music by Koechlin, with Fenwick Smith (Hyperion), and there is just some overlap. This shows just how much Koechlin composed for the winds, including the flute. Where there is an overlap, it seems to me that the performances on this disc come out slightly on top. Surely, this is a more recent recording, so the sound quality is better due to advances in recording technology. But also, the playing style differs. It is more modern here with less vibrato. However, this may just be a matter of taste and preference.
    So, thanks again, Ronald, for making this music available.
