I'd have to say that McGoldrick's Morning Rory is my favorite all time for straight flute. His playing is completely imaculate. It's techniquely flawless and his music flows like a river. others would include Flook's Flatfish album and Brian Finnegan's solo album. i could listen to just those three for the rest of my life and i'd be happy=)

Well, there are so many good flute CDs around now it's very hard to pick just one.
Anything by Catherine McEvoy or Marcas O Murchu is in my list.
Some of my newer discoveries which I would definitely recommend are:
- John Blake, playing on 'The Humours of Highgate' and 'Traditional Irish Music from London'
- Peadar O'Loughlin on 'The Thing Itself'
BUT, perhaps my most favourite recent CD is James Carty 'Upon my Soul'.
I would definitely recommend any - in fact, all - of these!
cheers!

Re: Favorite Irish Flute Album (CD)
Another vote for Conal O Grada and Josie McDermott. Great old-time pulsing honking playing that blows all the quasi-pop neo-Irish stuff out of the water.
But all-time fav has got to be Heathery Breeze by the Man Himself.

Lately, any combination of Catherine McEvoy, John McEvoy, and John Wynne.
All-time favorite? That's really hard. . . . ask me tomorrow.

Who has a copy of O Bhéal go Béal by Marcas O Murchú?
I can't find a way to buy it digitally and shipping to the US from the UK is practically equal to cost of the album.
Bah!

Re: Favorite Irish Flute Album (CD)
In case people are reading this thread to get ideas for albums to listen to, here are a couple more great ones that no one has mentioned yet (in no particular order).
- Peter Horan and Fred Finn's album
- Paddy Carty solo record and the record with Conor Tully
- PJ Crotty and James Cullinane
- Matt Molloy and Sean Keane
- Matt Molloy and Tommy Peoples
There are some many great albums out there. It's good to listen to as much music as you can.
