Acclaimed flutist Janet Axelrod has released a new album, Act One for fute and piano (Freedom Road Records FRR 003), featuring the world premiere recording of six works commissioned by Axelrod from Broadway’s most celebrated composers, arrangers and music directors. Act One is available at Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon, all major streaming platforms, and www.janetaxelrod.com.

Hailed as one of America’s finest flutists, Axelrod is in demand as a Broadway musician, orchestral flutist, chamber musician and contemporary and world flutist. She is a leading recording artist in studios with some of the world’s top entertainers. Composer George Crumb said of Axelrod, “it is always a great pleasure for a composer to hear his music played with such great musical sensitivity and technical excellence.” Says Axelrod, “I was inspired to commission the works on this recording from the brilliant composers of Broadway shows, music directors and conductors of Radio City Music Hall in New York City who I have had the honor of collaborating with my entire career. As a performer and educator, I recognize the need for fresh music that is exciting to perform, and that audiences will want to hear again and again. This recording showcases the gift that these celebrated Grammy, Emmy, Drama Desk and Olivier winning and nominated composers, orchestrators and arrangers of musicals have for memorable tune craft, colorful harmonies and rhythmic grooves.”
