  Gheorghe Zamfir - Master of the Pan Pipe - Booking & Management Michow Concerts Hamburg
With Zamfir, music lovers and music critics are in agreement: He is one of the most important representatives of a wind instrument that for a long time played only a minor role in music until Zamfir brought it to the great stages of the world and displayed his multi-faceted magic there.
Already in 1966, Gheorghe Zamfir had released his first record, upon which the famous pieces such as “Doina de Jale” and “Doina ca de la Visina” are to be heard.
Zamfir makes stylistic and exemplary recordings with organ accompaniment, small ensembles and large orchestras that produce self-composition, classical and religious works, ethnic and popular music with the yearning tone colour of the pan flute.

 Zamfir - Under the Microscope
Zamfir's rise to popularity as the "Master of the Pan Flute" during the late 70's and early 80's stems from a single fact: there was no panflutist that was known to mainstream Western media before Zamfir - a fact of which he has taken full advantage.
Zamfir had the good fortune of winning the race to the mass media market, and was thus able to assume his preeminent position.
Zamfir's golden years of popularity are behind him, after all, and, as a talk radio host once observed, "You shouldn't step on people on your way to the top, because you may meet them on your way down".
