Without questioning the well deserved place in the ranks of Debussy or Ravel you must agree that Ibert was a most unjustifiably underated french composer! All is music is great when not superb.
Gorgeous playing Pahud...this is My piece,as I won the Senior Concerto Competition@Oberlin Conservatory as a student of Robert Willoughby in the Fall October'84 with the Ibert:)
I love this man. I am a flautist and I come from Belfast. James Galway is the local hero but I have always hated the way he sentimentalises and romanticises great works for flute. Pahud is a much better musician.
I do play flute! I'm going to gary schockers 6-day masterclass in NY next week :D I'm learning the Martin Ballade, Bach Sonata in C Major, and the Pierre-Octave Ferround pieces! whoo, I'm actually gonna go practice rn haha what are you up to in flute?
Eleanor Dent I agree everything sounds beautiful with Galway, but it all sounds very much like Galway. When Pahud plays, he takes a back seat to the composer and the piece. He just translates the composers intent to us without always hamming everything up to show off his playing. I also love that he has recorded the Brahms sonatas originally for clarinet. They are not technically all that difficult, but his playing is so exquisite - he doesn’t always need to play the hardest music for us to hear how amazing he is. I think he’s in a class by himself, as far as interpretation goes.
It seems like his flute is simply a toy in his hands, quite admirable.

Pahud the God. Unbelievable.
WOW WOW WOW He is playing by heart and he is modelling each detail with perfect colour and phrasing!!!!! HE IS THE BEST FLUTIST OF OUR TIMES!!!!!!
Agreed.
Affascinante, fresco e luminoso come una mattina di sole in primavera. Grazie...

Inarrivabile. Dimostrazione di controllo assurdo e di musicalità divina
Chiollodario

Pahud plays the flute like he's joyfully insulting someone and knows how to do it
Absolutely wonderful. I still prefer a fuller sound, but he's definitely one of his generations best.
a fuller sound 😂😂😂 it’s been a long time since I laughed so much

Galway was an amazing player but, alas, a boring musicians, all the same tone, color and intention. Nothing to compare between the two.
what scales is he using ? sounds jazzy
