"I wonder whether Bach would be proud to know that his Badinerie is now so famous that people use it as a mobile phone ring tone ? Anyway, I am sure he would be pleased with Robin Soldan's excellent arrangement for flute choir. It has been transposed into D minor to suit the range of the flutes, and through judicious doubling of parts and variations in texture and dynamics, the question-and-answer motifs are neatly and clearly highlighted....." PAN magazine 2007.
Robin Soldan's involvement with flute ensembles has included directing flute choirs at international conventions and arranging a large variety of music for them - including the London 'Magic Flute Day' in the Barbican in 1991, with over 3000 players - probably the largest flute choir ever assembled!
