i take lessons from this guy in london, what a nice man. only ever wants a glass of water when he comes in, sits down and starts talking about all his favourite players and then remembers to teach me, such a nice dude.
I've met Philip twice now, in Jersey when he performed with the Jersey Symphony Orchestra and on 29/10/2011 in Bristol at The National Harmonica Event, each time he was brilliant and a very pleasant friendly guy.
@sweetbutdaring it's not that easy. I don't have all weekend because I go to school full time, have work around the house, sing in two choirs, and play four other instruments
After some time in stress, mentally stress, I'm getting back for what I really admire in the world, and his passion in this music made me feel much better =) thank you very much!
Absolutely awe-inspiring! This man is the reason why I took up playing a harmonica. I only wish I would eventually be at least half as great as him!! (:
IMO doesnt work in this setting. Almost sounds like a kazoo in some parts and an accordian in others. Blues and country is where the harmonica shines most.
@journeyquest1 you are quite clueless. This is a chromatic harmonica and has been played for classical music for more years than you've likely been alive. He is playing Genevieve as Larry Adler did, which is precisely WHY they chose him to play the lead for this piece. Perhaps a modicum of education would help? A diatonic (10 hole blues harmonica) is used for blues. A chromatic harmonica is used for Jazz , classical and other genres. If you know nothing about harmonicas (as is clear), why post?
@TheSatanas666 so you don't know any 'brothers' who play classical music on ANY instrument? Why should Philip be any different because he plays classical harmonica? That is such a lame thing to say. If he was onstage at Carnegie Hall playing piano would you also call it 'honky' music? Philip studies Jazz as well. Is that good enough for you?
harp looks small. i guess it's a 10 hole - 40 tone. chromatic. aye? it doesn't even look like a 48 tone.. or his just a huge guy that makes it tiny.. does anybody know exact type of his instrument?
Hello, hoshmack. Achille is a professional player, and would certainly be playing a twelve-hole (forty-eight-note) chromatic. The ten-hole type, e.g., the Hohner chromonica, doesn't have the range, whereas his would have that of a flute. Unlike a flute, a chromatic (including ten-holers) is not limited to playing single notes (the sax is similarly 'limited'), and can play double-stops, and intervals, though these are limited. There again, all instruments have limitations.
Hey!:) Im a young swedish guitarist who loves what i do, so i thought i'd share my process with you. Please take a look at my playing!:) Videos will be updated every week as long as i got time.
For those of you who don't know, Philip was playing a tune composed by the late, great Larry Adler called Genevieve Waltz. That one tune, exclusively composed for harmonica, is the only song every written for harmonica to be nominated for an Oscar. That one song, that Mr. Achille plays beautifully, fed, clothed and educated Mr. Adler's family and children and put them all through college. Larry Adler would be quite proud of Mr. Achille's performance of his piece. Truly amazing!
hey wheres the midget/ and the guy with the funny hat,,,you know harp cats..just kidding this is a world class performer mr Adler would be proud of.. the harmonica is not a amuseing toy..after 40 years of playing it I only dream of playing so proficiately
How good to see such intelligent comments, this video is really wonderful, there are many wonders together, the harmonica player, the orchestra arranger, it's great cry of satisfaction ... thanks for this video - hug from Brazil.
