    Of course there are going to be times an entire orchestra is louder than a single flute. Her dynamics are just right, she crushes this piece.....after all there she is performing as a soloist with an orchestra while most of the you tube critics here are what...sitting behind the computer.....her finger positions are just exceptional. I love how she accomplishes these very difficult passages with minimal movement, she does not give into the “showy” fingering a lot of flautists employ. She gets the job done in the most efficient manner possible. I think she has a great career ahead of her. A great performance, and as a flutist I really enjoyed it.

      ​@@allons-y933 Yes but that's mostly not the 'fault' of the soloist. It's just as much a fault of the orchestra (look at the size of it and the number of string players!!) - and the composer! Chaminade has written low notes, which cannot carry as well as high ones. (It's fine in the piano version) Also most of the bits where you can't hear her over the orchestra are where the part is just doubling the violins or the other orchestral instruments, so it doesn't really matter.

    This is an example of excellent ensemble playing. Ms Miller's ability to shape phrases and blend with the orchestra when the music requires it) is refreshing, something that many soloists cannot bring themselves to do. Her intonation is impeccable, and she has more than enough presence to project her sound all the way to the back of the hall without being bombastic. Brava!

    Did y’all really expect her to not get “drowned out” by AN ENTIRE FRICKING ORCHESTRA BEHIND ONE FLAUTIST? It’s a whole orchestra and one flute. I believe that was intended by the composer.

    • @SallyGreenaway
      @SallyGreenaway 2 роки тому +52

      Composer weighing in here - I cannot speak for this piece, but composers are incredibly aware of when a soloist will be drowned out (by either a piano or an orchestra). There are several reasons a composer may want to do this:
      1. to make the emotion or inertia of the piece overflow in exuberance that it takes over in a big swell
      2. to allow the soloist to be the background/supporting part so that the orchestra or pianist can have a moment in the spotlight. Either the soloist can stop playing (rests) or they can play an accompaniment part.
      I really dislike it (most often heard in studio recordings) when the soloist is always the loud part, and the piano or orchestra are really quiet all the time - I'm thinking of examples where the piano accompanist is bashing something fortissimo out, but the recording engineer has pulled the fader down to make the soloist always sit on top - it completely ruins the whole point of that section of the piece for the composer. Obviously this is a live recording, not a studio recording, but I thought I'd mention this as an example so you can see how frustrating it would be for a composer to have their concepts completely overruled by the desire to have the soloist forever the hero 100% of the time.
