LIEBERMANN LOVES ALEXA"S CD!!!
Lowell Liebermann quoted that Alexa plays his works the way he wants a flutist to play them. To me Alexa is the most beautiful and powerful flutist around. Nice to know Liebermann feels this way himself! I'm a flutists myself and listen to as many flutists recordings and concerts as much as possible. I heard her recital in Ann Arbor last summer. I went back stage and suddenly started crying because her playing is so outstanding! I told her this was the best recital since I went to hear Elaine Shaffer when I was a kid. Alexa's playing is powerful but warm and beautiful. Her use of vibrato is perfect. Phrasing is the best. I love all of her recordings, but this has to be the best yet. In March of 2002, I went to Boulder to study with her. She was recording this CD at the time. Liebermann is so hard to play that you have to be in good shape to record these pieces. She was swimming and lifting weights to get ready to work on the CD. It paid off and she sure looked great too!! Alexa should win a Grammy for this one. Of all the flute CD's,PLEASE buy this one. Alexa is world class!!
