what an excellent topic. as i keep mentioning, i don't know much about itm. i would very much like to hear a cd of irish flute music. specifically, one of very slow, haunting airs. other instruments and even singers would be ok too. you all mentioned the names of albums but you didn't mention what kind of music was on the albums. does anyone have any favorites? thanks.

A list of three, ha ha.
I like most stuff by Matt Molloy*, Harry Bradley, Mike McGoldrick, Brian Finnegan, Josie McDermott, Paddy Carty, and many others. Jean-Michel Veillon gets high marks for his mastery of the instrument (but Breton music doesn't really appeal to me the way Irish does).
(*: Black Album and Heathery Breeze in particular, I think).
A couple of recently bought albums I really like, not solo flute, though:
Seamus Quinn, Gary Hastings: Slan Le Loch Eirne
Harry Bradley, Jesse Smith, John Blake: The Tap Room Trio

I need to give "Flute Players Of Roscommon" another spin otherwise it would be up there. My favorite Molloy is "Stony Steps" and my favorite JMV is a tough call but I'd have to go with "E Koad Nizan" as it is a more lightly produced recording. I am sans "BEO!" however.
Cheers,
Aaron

In no particular order...
Colm O'Donnell - Farewell to Evening Dances
Matt Molloy - Heathery Breeze
Matt Molloy/Sean Keane - Contentment is Wealth
Honorable mention goes to Music at Matt Molloy's -- although this is not strictly a flute album, my first hearing of "The Parting of Friends" is what suddenly caused me to have to have a flute. That was the first tune I learned, and it is still my favorite.
