Horea Crishan (born 1945,[1] Sibiu (former Austro-Hungarian city of Hermannstadt), Romania)[2] fled his homeland in 1971 for Hamburg, Germany,[3] where he became a violinist for the NDR Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg as well as a pan flautist. In 1979, together with organist Marcel Cellier, Crishan released his first pan flute album.[4] It was followed by four more albums until he moved to the Polydor Records label with the release of two albums, The Magic Of The Pan Flute volume 1 in 1983,[5] and The Magic Of The Pan Flute volume 2 in 1984.[6] Notable singles released included a collaboration with James Last on "Paradiesvogel" / "Empty Glasses",[7] and the British singer-songwriter Lynsey de Paul on "Air On A Heart String" / "Arrival of the Queen", with de Paul as the record producer.[8]
His most recent release as a pan flautist was Pan's Concerto, which was released on the WEA label in 1991.[9]
