career after 22 years as an orchestral musician. A former member of the San
Francisco Symphony and the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, she has appeared
as soloist on numerous occasions with those orchestras and also with the Boston
Symphony, Boston Pops, Utah Symphony, and l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande. She
has performed with the Boston Symphony Chamber Players throughout Europe and
Japan, with the Tokyo, Juilliard, and Muir String Quartets, in recital with
Jessye Norman and Yo-Yo Ma, and at North America's most prestigious festivals,
including Aspen, Sarasota, Norfolk, and Sitka.
The only American prizewinner
in the 1969 Geneva International Flute Competition, Buyse has presented
recitals and master classes across the United States and in Canada, the
Netherlands, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Her solo recordings on the
Crystal label include The Sky's the Limit (CD317) and Rivier Revisited (CD319). With her
husband, clarinetist Michael Webster, she co-founded the Webster Trio, which
has recorded Tour de France (CD356) and World Wide Webster (CD357) for Crystal.
Widely recognized as one of
America's foremost flute pedagogues, she is the Joseph and Ida Kirkland Mullen
Professor of Flute at Rice University and has also taught at the University of

Leone Buyse is former principal flutist with the Boston
Symphony. Michael Webster is former principal clarinetist with the Rochester
Philharmonic and the San Francisco Symphony. Robert Moeling is an international
soloist and chamber musician. They are now based at the Shepherd School of
Music in Houston, Texas. The works are superb, exciting transcriptions by
Michael Webster from four-hand piano literature. "World Wide
Webster is a fine new offering...These three musicians play as one, and their
sense of ensemble and creative interpretations define the essence of chamber
music." Flute
Talk "Performances here are excellent, with a seamless
match between the two winds, and a coherent blend with Robert Moeling's buoyant
piano textures. Recordings are very fine, and give a notably clear
reproduction of Leone Buyse's distinctive, clear and, well, fluting
tone..." Paul
Ingram, Fanfare

This CD features works from the early part of the 20th century
that were written for the remarkable French flutist Georges Barrre. Lyrical
and exciting, these works have found their way into the repertoire of many
flutists
"A great
instrumentalist naturally attracts composers...all of the works on this CD were
written (by good composers!) for Barrre between the years 1897 and 1905. Magnifique... Buyse is just the
woman for this job. This, then, is an excellent match of flutist and
repertoire. This is warmly recommended to anyone who enjoys the flute, and who
is looking for something a little out of the way, but not necessarily
strange." Fanfare, January/February 2007
"Every
serious flutist should explore this for the playing and repertoire. Simply put,
this is what the flute should sound like. Non-flutists will also enjoy the
elegance and lyrical beauty of this music. A must buy." American Record Review
"Leone
Buyse plays this music with much love.
Her interpretation is logical and convincing; the phrasing constantly
has an emotional charge, from intense to simple. Her sound is splendid and supple, especially wonderful in
the flowing, soft passages.
Accurate and with effective use of timing, dynamic, vibrato and color. Outstanding duo playing; both musicians
make the music completely comprehensible.
Beautiful! A CD whereby the
players and the music earn great attention. We're waiting for the second CD, which is in progress." Fluit (magazine of the Dutch Flute Association)
