A timeless rendition of Johann Pachelbel’s ‘Canon in D Major’, performed by flutist James Galway with arranger and conductor Glen Spreen. Recorded in 1981, this version blends Baroque beauty with modern orchestral warmth, highlighting Galway’s golden tone and lyrical phrasing. Though titled ‘Canon in D’, the performance actually sounds in E♭ major, giving it a brighter, more resonant color that perfectly suits the flute’s range.
