I am uncomfortable placing Zamfir in the same garbage bin with the other
notemongers you mention. True, he has churned out marshmallow versions of
some of the lowest forms of western music, but some of his early works are
interesting musically and technically.
There are two albums of Improvisations for pan flute and organ (played by
Marcel Cellier). The pieces are Rumanian in flavor. With unusual time
signatures, with tempo and pitch bending, these pieces are highly musical
and captivating; the doina style in particular stands out. Some of these
pieces appear on very cheap CDs that also have bigger-band Rumanian folk
music.
I agree - dump the pan flute movie music, but check out the
improvisations. Play along on your horn...
