  More info

  With the freshness and spunk of Milot and Marchaud still rang in the air, I quickly switched gears to flute and harp duo Brian Luce and Carrol McLaughlin in their new Albany Records disc Allume. Warm and far more extroverted, at first listening I surmise “transcriptions/light classics” but soon change my attitude in hearing the carefully laid plan of repertoire, bravely placing a Gypsy violin encore to start next to a highly mannered flute sonata from the French Baroque. The juxtaposition made me sit up and take notice. “Where are we going?” I ask, “And how will I begin to hear anew this nearly cliché joined-at-the-hip ensemble?” Trust me. Their journey is a delightful one and I took it happily.
