RECORDED CLASSICAL MUSIC       A Critical Guide to Composition and Performances   by Arthur Cohn, Schirmer Books 1981 p. 2095

Music for Solo Flute (1971)  Rolf Schulte, flute: A real balance of structure and expression develops in the three movements, and there is no resorting to any of the fashionable outré specialties of flute technique. One does hear a flutter-tongued pitch here and there, but this color is as solidly entrenched in the catalogue of these sounds as is pizzicato in the timbres produced by stringed instruments. 

Concert Piece for Violin and Piano;  Schulte, violin; Ursula Oppens, piano: Tightly organized with a plan that uses variants of the various sections and applies tempo shifts as part of their development. The characteristic style is panchromatic, the personality dynamic. These qualities are fully expressed by the performers.

Richard Wilson, born in Cleveland in 1941, extended a great deal of personality to his scores. They come off as an odd blending of the Messiaen sensuality with the firile style of Sessons. The flute "Music," in three movements, is especially attractive. Recommended!
