About The Hollywood Flute
“This CD was recently evaluated by me and I believe it is one of the best soloist performances of film music in recent years. Louise DiTullio's flute playing is flawless and the choice of film music is outstanding... Because of its excellence I am designating this CD as Editor's Choice, Best of the Month. It fully deserves any accolades it might receive.”

“DiTullio knows how to spin a phrase, always with a gorgeous tone, beautifully varied vibrato, and flawless intonation, and her impressive technique can handle any challenge... This recording satisfies nostalgia for some great movie scores' but DiTullio's performance constitutes its main appeal. She is one of the few Hollywood studio musicians whose name deserves to be known to a wider public, and this CD cements her prominence. Her musicianship provides a commendable model, and developing flutists will be especially attracted to ‘The Hollywood Flute'.”

for American Music (2010), 4: 536-

“This is an incredible CD! Gorgeous flute playing beautiful music. This is truly a sit back and listen, light a candle, have a glass of wine, and relax CD. ...This one is particularly special because it features many of the flute solos I've enjoyed listening to in films over the years.

“This is about the greatest CD that I've ever heard. Beautiful music, beautiful performance. I recommend highly. Ms. DiTullio performs so well that you just want to sit back and let the music flow all around you. Well worth owning.”
"...it is the flute solo, intertwined within Joey’s theme, exquisitely rendered by virtuoso flutist Louise Di Tullio, that is just otherworldly. Pensive, wistful, and contemplative, it extends a reserved felicitous eloquence that speaks to all of us, a resounding voice for Joey."
Arlene R Weiss - A review of the musical score of the movie "War Horse," by John Williams in GuitarInternational.com
“In the very front rank among the world’s great flutists”
Composer John Williams
“...benefiting from a variety of instrumental treatments, especially a beautiful romantic one for flute ... with Louise DiTullio—one of Hollywood’s greatest instrumentalists—providing a lovely, expressive solo performance.“
