Two-Disc Set With Over Two Hours Of Music Includes Sir James Galway’s
Most Popular Recordings, Including Classical And Pop Favorites
Known the world over as “The Man with the Golden Flute,” Sir James Galway is the most acclaimed flute virtuoso of his day, and RCA Red Seal’s new two-disc anthology The Essential James Galway samples the best of his recordings, including the classical repertoire and his hugely successful pop collections. Galway is one of the best selling classical artists of the modern age – worldwide sales topping 30 million, with over 2.5 million units sold since 1991 alone – and these recordings prove why. The Essential James Galway will be in stores Tuesday, May 23, 2006.
The Irish-born Galway began his career as an orchestral player – he was principal flute in the Berlin Philharmonic during the legendary tenure of Herbert von Karajan – but found immediate success as a soloist. His enormous catalogue of more than 50 albums for RCA Victor reflects a rich and varied appetite for the entire classical repertoire, as well as appealing crossover recordings of folk and pop songs, as well as hits from Broadway and Hollywood.
