As a doubler who doesn't even qualify to carry Galway's flute case for him, I find his playing damn near perfect for the Rodrigo and Corigliano. So far, "flashy" or not, I haven't heard a piece by Rodrigo or Corigliano I don't enjoy. For ex: Corigliano's oboe concerto could certainly be called "flashy", but I enjoy it nevertheless, and am amazed anybody can play it.
Can't imagine listening to Galway play the sonatas I listed and hating his sound/pitch. I'm not expert enough to criticize tempos, nor expert enough regarding other mind blowing flutists to rank Galway. But if I could play like him I'd die happy.
I know he's performed/recorded a wide variety of music including some, ahh, "fluff". Don't know if the motivation is all about sales/money or he genuinely enjoys playing more "commercially viable" music. I don't hold it against him when I listen to him play pieces like the Prokofiev sonata.
