E.Pahud - Ravel - Daphnis et Chloé

[kidfreak2003]

when i saw this man in 2:55, Tin Tin had just poped out of my head

[4znhatred]

is he a homosexual?

[sush3247]

@4znhatred yes

[sush3247]

@4znhatred SO WHAT?

[4znhatred]

@sush3247 I was just asking a question. Are the rumours true?

[ClaireVonP]

@4znhatred God, of course not! But... If you're thinking that the music is a man, so yes, he is.

[MrAkihiros]

bad audio tnough.

[13asherable]

I have never been more proud to be one of the few minority male floutist....

[TheProphetEliza]

is it just me or is the sound quality really QUIET. I can hardly hear it and the volume is full up!

[PIEM2011]

La meilleure version (et de loin) avec celle de Michel Debost (orchestre de Paris). On entend directement que Pahud a été son élève...

[TBMfan92]

When you're an amazing flute player you're attractive... but when you're sexy and amazing at playing flute........ it makes you the sexiest thing on earth!

[flutegirly321]

He is the sexiest guy that has ever graced the planet. Just sayin.

[fabulousfluter08]

Anyone know where someone could get a copy of the whole performance? I'm performing the solo with our youth orchestra next week and as much as I love this clip, it would be nice to have the whole thing in HD! Pahud and Jelka make such a good team!

[milkshakemaisie]

omg his handssss i could watch them for hours

[poserskill]

Godly Pahud.

[attiliotroiano]

wow | Ravel...

[bitterbum1]

the only thing that impressed me more was the all gold alto flute. never seen a gold one before!

[fabulousfluter08]

@bitterbum1 Could be a Yamaha? They make really high quality alto flutes out of brass.

[pessimystica]

@fabulousfluter08

yah, but i just got a gold brass Yamaha alto flute & i have a gold Powell, & that alto flute on this video looks more like my gold Powell ;-)

[Bezla142857]

@XEA6L I just saw the CBSO play this, and Zupancic was playing first - she was AMAZING.

[enricoboe]

Mayer laughs at 2:02

[Astriol]

such a flutsie piece! I love it! All played beautifully! So beautifully!

[MsFlutey]

would like to respond.. but i have no sound!!!

[Absolutegreek89]

@4znhatred I hope you mean that in the best way possible. Cause I agree.

[1903Kawa]

@4znhatred lol!

[Heollin]

@4znhatred he plays orgasmic...

[MrAkihiros]

@4znhatred and grazing his rose lips i might add.

[windstorm1000]

@4znhatred I hope he is gay so he can be my boyfriend. I'd kiss those beatiful red full lips anyday.

[MrAkihiros]

Respond to this video... I believe he's not but I bet he gets lots of invitations. Pure hell being attractive.

[windstorm1000]

@MrAkihiros Now isn't that the truth!! Bet he can't go anywhere without getting 'hit on' by men or women. It must be flattering, but somewhat distracting what with concert dates, lots of practise, etc.

[MrAkihiros]

@windstorm1000 To be a true artist and also handsome can be distracting. They know they are goodlooking but their art takes centerstage believe it or not; but of course they could taste the sweet ones on the side if they're not too busy.Lol.

[82Flautomagico]

Molto bello!!!!!!

[xMoRiSx97]

very good!

[GGefter1]

Bravo maestro! Your flowless perfomance, full of spirit and innovation in phrasing makes this art timeless.

[aubriedionne]

Exquisite

[FenAllo1]

I love watching his technique...his fingers hover effortlessly over the keys and then snap into place with such agility...

I notice he uses quite a few alternate fingers to keep his intonation accurate. so much you can learn through observation!

[Lisnageeragh]

@FenAllo1 Well spotted!! Very important to have a few of these ...also harmonics can get you out of the odd tight corner!

[1903Kawa]

@Lisnageeragh You are so right!

[Aislinnmomma]

What could be better than a Frenchman playing a famous French flute solo in the Berlin Phil!!!!

[karmanflute]

This is the greatest thing. Pahud is just stunning.

[QueLaas]

maravilloso! :D

[wkzh]

Is that... a gold alto?... hmm. Heyy can't hear the arppeggios in the low range, gagh.

[ivoryoboe]

Bravo!!

[MauriceFlute]

So beautiful - thank you for posting this video.

[pirarucu10]

The sound is too bad

[XEA6L]

My teacher says tht this piece is "The very embodiment of Immortality"...........Pahud, Hasel and Zupancic play it exceptionally well................

[tubonianflute]

What type of Alto Flute is that? I see that it's gold(plated?) but the French Arms look like that of a C flute...

[Virtuoso482]

@tubonianflute thats a C flute. =)

[Virtuoso482]

@Virtuoso482 Oh sorry, didn't see the one you were referring to.

[TanjaE83]

@tubonianflute It's not gold plated, it's gold. I think this is his Brannen Cooper 14k with the Sheridan headjoint.

[tubonianflute]

@TanjaE83

The ALTO flute is not a brannen, lol

[TanjaE83]

@tubonianflute

But this is definitely not an alto flute! ;-)

[tubonianflute]

@TanjaE83

You mean the big flute with the really low notes at the end...Yeah, I'm pretty sure it is. I'm very well aware of the difference between the Gold C flute Pahud is playing and the Alto flute Hasel is playing!

[TanjaE83]

@tubonianflute

OK, so we were talking about different flutes ;-)

[tubonianflute]

@TanjaE83

obviously, lol

[marieagnes07]

Beautiful

[okcmon101]

that's the hottest piccolo player i have ever seen!!

[milkshakemaisie]

all the woodwinds kick butt,

[Vanadain]

wie heist Altflutespieler?

[iglerin]

Michael Hasel

[juanmaMCMLXXXII]

¡Eso no se hace, ha cortado en lo más bonito!

[mmcoopstar]

Don't you lust love Sir Simon Rattle :) By the way amazing performance....Loved it!!

[XEA6L]

Wow....Albrecht Mayer found something very funny............

[sagarflute]

The piccolo player seems to be the current CBSO principal flute

[XEA6L]

Thx, dude. Now i know who she is........

[berio]

rock on Marie!  Oh and Pahud is as brilliant as ever!

[Blave1868]

pahud=dio

[laurensileo]

I instantly noticed the laughing oboe player.

[Flutist11]

Music can be a big laughing matter, I must admit. I've laughed at music many times because either it really is funny, or just so fun. Just... don't laugh when you're performing. =D

[fabulousfluter08]

This is the best hing that could ever happen. ever.

[FungoBoy]

seconded.

[JoshJNYC]

Dammit, *I* want a gold alto flute, too! :)

[TheGreatTemptation]

He looks very smug that he has one, doesn't he.

[BonnieBitch]

I don't even play flute, and I want one too!

[musicista84]

meraviglioso pahud..

[tatideu]

does anybody know wich orchestra is performing here? (:

[Chiollodario]

Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra

[addict2music21]

berlin philharmoniker

[musicy88]

oh, I guess at 1:57 to be exact.. I got the impression that he was even trying to talk to the fellow oboe player....

[musicy88]

what is that silly oboist laughing about at 2:00?! -_- that was really unprofessional...

[Chiollodario]

The oboist is Albrecht Meyer, one of the most important oboist of the world

[Loryos]

It must be an inside joke he made before the concert? Or maybe He tells him to stop laughing? Still, he is able to keep control even when having the police role! His interpretation is a real color cake! At 1:40, it is euphoria ^^ (beautifull ppp)

[jorgitocubanito1]

thats incredible.... i will like to know why is he smilling??????

[puo2007]

actually, i think Marie-Christine Zupancic is playing piccolo :-)

[perplex33]

Who are the other flutists at 2:15 and 2:54?

[cz0801]

Jelka Weber and Sascha Rathey, I think

[cz0801]

Oops, I meant Michael Hasel for the one at 2:54. Sascha Rathey was playing the piccolo.

[HOD72]

The sound is low and quality not too clear, unfortunately. I love Pahud and have heard him live and met him in NY. In this performance of the solo it is unfortunate how his low B natural (on the staff)goes rather flat at first and then once again. However, he plays some of the best dynamics I've ever heard on this solo, even if the sound is somewhat one dimensional. I would love to hear a greater variety of color in his tone for this famous solo. He has done it. Regardless he is still great!

[corcheteroTejon]

Pahud me da orgasmos multiples x.x

[perplex33]

Thanks for posting

[ricardoflute]

El mejor!!!

[SarahParsisiangirl]

Amazing ! Just stunning !

[ascolotto]

bellissimo... io lo adoro Pahud

peccato che si sente piano... vabbe sono d' accordo con Chiollodario... il migliore in assoluto...

[ductorcon]

Please!!

[ductorcon]

could you upload the whole suite?

[sisaja]

wonderfull.. :-)

[cz0801]

that is one lucky flute...

[lucioleita]

Grazie del regalo. Notevole !!

[Chiollodario]

Non c'è dubbio: è il miglior flautista al mondo.

Un solo senza ombra di dubbio perfetto!

[SkypeSinger]

E' bellissimo.... grazie per averlo condiviso!!!!
