2009 Youtube Symphony Flute Audition Nina Perlove Bach Bouree Anglaise

[lachona76]

NINA YOU ARE THE BEST! I LOVE THIS SONG. I WISH I COULD PLAY IT. MAYBE YOU COULD HELP ME AND TELL ME WHERE YOU GOT THE MUSIC FOR YOUR AUDITION. MAYBE YOU COULD POST IT ON YOUR WEBSITE.

!!!!!!!!!!BEST FLUTE PLAYER EVER!!!!!!!!!

[Pug40]

Beautiful rendition Nina. One question though when I was seriously pursuing my dream of being a professional flautist my instructors were always getting on my case about "slouching" or "poor posture" when I was playing because my flute was perfectly parallel. What to you say about that?

[SecretlyyNerdy]

BEAUTIFUL.

wow.

oh gawd.

i want to play that well. D;

[Anonpeace]

AMAZING. 

[2000flute]

bravo!

[mmmchocolate12345678]

That is just... Amazing... I'm a flutist myself, and hope to become at least half as good as you. That must have taken you forever to learn it though! So cool!!!

[shorty4539]

Simply amazing! I'm a self taught flautist and I only hope I'll be half as good as you some day! Bravo!!!

[gianpaga11]

Fantastic Nina!!!

[mihaivitro]

it s a wonder EXCELENCE par example!Respect from germany

[Kagome811]

Hi Nina! I just wanted to say that you are my flute inspiration, and you've made me want to keep practicing and become as good as you someday! :) I have a long way to go, but I plan on becoming a music teacher so that I will continue with music throughout my life.

Your playing is wonderful!

[nymphomix]

Awesome Nina

[GoldenDasiy]

I love the way you play this song! I'm currently doing ballet and love dancing to this song, im gonna play piccolo when i save up enough money to get one (Might take a while) Well thanks for your inspiration! :)

[cathyiscool27]

Does blowing your cheek out help anything? Should I try that?

[lanetdunyaa]

çok güzel.

[BSGomer]

This is so pretty, It's just some of the articulations seem a little fuzzy, That's probably because you're just really close and you wouldn't hear it normally. But intonation, overall tone, and technique-wise you're rockin'!!!

[lesandfluff]

 I've heard that gold flutes play better that silver flutes is that true?

[BSGomer]

@lesandfluff I love the dark sound of gold flutes, its awesome.

[smile8527]

This is going as my FAV....Smile :)

[saxxyflutes]

@jasminewangx3 yup yup we are(:

[jasminewangx3]

i think we're playing a simplified version of this for region band tryouts, which are this friday >< i'm so nervous.

[CORXX]

Listening to this girl gives me goosebumps...!

[alarkra]

I was seriously thinking about putting in an audition for the 2011 orchestra, but if this is the standard I haven't a hope in hell. It's a shame. :-(

[kanasan365]

oh wow, o.O how can i play like that for my region in two weeks??? -.-" can u give me tips of how to play the fast ones??? like starting on 0:11....btw ur soo amazing!!!

[oekakinin]

: ) Are you going to tryout for 2011?

[dansingai]

@oekakinin I wish they could ay!! They can't win twice :(

[BookandSong]

great tone!

[dacegenius]

Hi Nina, I just want to say that I thank GOD for people like you. It is a pleasure to hear you.

[Iplaypiccolo]

Nina you are the best in my perspective . I would like to see you do more piccolo videos .

[ninaflute]

@Iplaypiccolo Thanks. I'm not working on any piccolo videos right now, but busy with flute videos!

[siddepoo]

@Iplaypiccolo the right word is perception mate. 

[Vesivian]

does playing the flute require more than one finger when playing a note like chords in the piano?

[MHNmusique]

@Vesivian Yes...

[annakategoodall]

wow .................

[KataraHaku7290]

Oh my god! The first piece was wonderful! I'm going to try my hardest to learn it. I know it'll take a lot of hours of practice but I WILL learn that piece! If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take you to learn it?

[ninaflute]

@KataraHaku7290 I don't know how long it took to learn the first time I played it, but I have been playing it on and off for probably 15 years. I've been playing flute more than 25 years!

[sesiom3005]

molto bella!

very nice nina,

i love it. ^-^♥

[jsantucci1]

Gorgeous and clean playing as always! But I was wondering what edition are you using? Are your ornamentations your own? Or are they in your edition.

Thanks so much!

[ninaflute]

@jsantucci1

I wrote all the ornaments myself. it was fun!

[Lisnageeragh]

@ninaflute Love the ornaments ...a bit like we do in Irish Trad ...the in between notes ...or runs as we might call them.

[jetcarddude]

I could listen all day. WONDERFUL........

[lilmonkey715]

Wow xx Who needs everything perfect!! you did that spot on.

[musicactually]

@how22222222 actually, you can't lol not if you want a job, anyway.

[musicactually]

this is great and obviously very beautiful - but the rhythm is wrong in the mendelssohn - the dotted quarter/eighth note "E - F - E - F" is over-dotted here. your sound/musicality obviously made them overlook this :P congrats on going to carnegie with the youtube symphony! you sound wonderful.

[musicactually]

sorry - i meant B-C-B-C. don't know what i was thinking!

anyway - on second listen, you sound just as great as the first time :)

[JTcreation]

Niceee !!

[jazzflutist]

AlainNaigeon has the right idea. I like her high notes. And the low ones.

(The ones in between are equally good).

[Koyko200]

You must been in a room that echos when you play or its your flute. That flute is amazin' I want a Wood Sankyo & 24k Sankyo Flute. They are my dream.

[realraybans]

very nice:) but i like the lower notes better:)

bass clarinet<3

[videocommentimusica]

Beautiful...very beautiful.......nice  video-

[MagixP]

Interesting, I played for my 9th Grade Auditions :)

[cheeserules5419]

Oh my GOD! You are one of the best flutists I have ever heard! This is a wonderful performance! Well done, 5/5! I subscribed!

[danielfragnet]

Very nice,, Perfect execution, I love nina.

[kuragari318]

Oh my word.... you are phenomenal!! Could you do Claire de Lune?

[craniuns]

Oh, muy buena es tu. Esta en los mis favoritos. Buena mucica y perforomace. Ciaooo!!!

[Adams4eva]

what grade is this on flute? Cause for recorder it's on Grade 7 for TriniyGuildhall but Grade 8 for ABRSM....

shhhh.....I'm hoping that, cause I'm switching form Trinity to ABRSM for my Grade 8, I can just play this piece again...:p It's a bit of a cheat on my behalf but hey. It gives me another chance at it.

[wwwjohnjewelcom]

I really like this train of thought the world wide collaberation , wow. This is currently the mission of the WWGM a non-profit to bring world wide understanding through music. I have a project I would like to collaberate with youtube orchestra members, such as yourself.

[pieceofmind616]

you make it look so easy..!!

Beautiful piece..!!

[IAmTheBOMB21]

i want a gold flute :(

the sound of your flute make a wounderful sound ;D

[AlainNaigeon]

Unfortunately (for us), I think that 90% of the beautiful sound comes from the... person blowing into the flute ;-)

[jsz60]

Wow love the gold flute! If i listened to this blindfolded i would think it was a couple flutes in a recording!

[xDoDoRoCkSx]

You're totally amazing!

[ponzii1]

WOOW !

You're Amazing *.*

[pakshekho31]

[SnowyStars88]

Wow amazing!

[SunnyStars29]

Nina! This amazing! Congrats on making it to Carnegie Hall :) I also hope I don't sound rude but does anyone know where to download this music sheet of JS Bach Bourree Anglaise? I can't find it anywhere and I love this piece!

[CougarGirl615]

I can't imagine what grade you would get if you went to a music contest.

[argentoki]

you're better then my flute teacher and she was fantastic, go NINA!!!

[SMAF7824]

[zeldps]

[azzai45]

It's no surprise that you made the finals Nina, adding your ornaments definitely shows your musicianship. I'm fascinated by the flute, it sounds so nice!

[akm10293]

Congratulations! I voted for you!

I'm a flute player (still in high school, going off to college next year) and your videos have had a significant influence over what I do in practice. I am very excited to see you perform. Will it be posted?

[ellkristin12]

i play flute and I love it, wow you are so good....love it

[Rusterville]

i play flute but nowhere near as good as that! does anyone know what the music is that she's playing?

[Xounga]

JS Bach Bourree Anglaise i think.

[Rusterville]

thanks

[Kaittykat8]

WOW, not only are you an amazing player-YOU HAVE A GOLD FLUTE!!!!!!

[chaoticazndudess]

ahaha, gives a better sound :)

[satoshi2oll]

Congrats on making it! I remember hearing the 4th movement of Partita in A Minor played by Alexandra Grot. I enjoyed hearing you play it just as much :] If possible, we'd all love to hear you play the other movements as well.

[PiccoloChick09]

your so amazing...i strive for that good sound quaility and tone! great job!!

[laurenbdn]

OMG, this is absolutely fantastic!!! hope they film you on the documentary harmonyfilm com

[auxomoxoa]

Felicidades NINA.

[FluteNovice]

I enjoy your playing on that flute much better than the others.

It sounds flawless

[temporary258]

OMG, woman, you are AMAZING!!!

[Rexicanoo]

She has paid training and college behind her and is a professional flutists. It is too bad youtube allowed professional flutists to enter the competition. I just feel sorry for the rest of the non pro flutists that tried so hard. They didn't have a chance when she entered. Nina, were you not happy enough with the orchestra positions you have already had a chance with? You have had many chances while so many other flutists on youtube have never had the chances as you have had, not even once.

[BenChanViolin]

I wouldn't be so quick to pass judgment, Rexicanoo.  I'd say Nina is perfectly qualified to play in the YouTube Orchestra because, well, she's a YouTuber. I might add that her channel is one of the main ones that inspired my own. I do recognize the brave efforts on the part of non-professional flutists and feel that they did exemplary jobs in their auditions. Remember that competitions aren't always about winning- I've lost my fair share and have learned a lot from them. Just my 2 cents.

[powellpicc1985]

You say that as if being a professional makes for some unfair advantage... What's unfair about practicing 4, 5, 6+ daily hours over about twenty years and then winning a position/competition as the result? It takes work, and TONS of it...late nights, early mornings, tedious exercises, long rehearsals, countless performances, lessons, school expenses...I could go for days...:-)

Why should the people who have done that work, for the majority of their lives, be restricted from this opportunity?

[peachyfedora]

agreed. if she's worked so hard, why should she be denied such a wonderful opportunity?

+1

[kleenyyy]

AMAZING!!!! <3

[PrettyRainbowUnicorn]

wonderfully wonderful

[RanKudo007]

I am AMAZED!!!^_^

[risingpianofire]

Big Congrats!

[Altissimo15]

Congrates on being selected for the symphony!

[SCSQ4]

Nina, congratulations on your acceptance into the YouTube Symphony Orchestra!

I look forward to seeing the video of you performing with the orchestra next month!

[elamperti]

Congratulations! :D

I'm so happy for you!!!!!

[joshbarnes92]

CONGRATULATIONS!!! OMG I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!! just think, 27 years, and look at you now, carnegie hall. kudos

[carileas]

I can  hardly wait to hear the announcement tomorrow!! You are very inspiring. :)

[Mowaie]

....Absolutely beautiful, Nina. I love it... it only gives me more motivation to play flute again. I had to quit playing, because I don't have classes at school anymore, and I can't really afford to pay a flute...absolutely amazing. 5 stars...***** ^^

[lilmrsvoorhees]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING AND AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! I am in the 8th grade and play the flute. I love the flute and I want to some day be as good as you are!!!!!! I want to subscribe so I can have future videos of you playing the flute! Like I said, AWESOME job and I am pretty sure you should make the finals!!! ROCK ON!!!!

[powellpicc1985]

Ooh! Would you mind doing a video on baroque ornamentation? I'd love to hear what you have to say on it!

[Alexstewart88]

Nina. You got this in the bag, hands down. You're You tube's most famous flutist, and this certainly proves why. The ornaments you've added certainly add an element of musicality not found in any of the other finalist auditions. You'll make it, I know it. Good luck Nina, and thanks so much for entering! :)

[AheartforHim]

I vote for you because...one I love the flute.. two I love old classical music and three because I admire you for all the dedication you put into hours of practice and the willing heart to teach others your talents and abilities.. and your playing like it says is beautifully processional. Would love to have some plans personally from you some day...Have been playing for 11 yrs.

[andy957]

why did you choose the mendelssohn? seems like a strange choice.

[ninaflute]

andy957: There were three required pieces to chose and you could do 1 or 2 of the required pieces which were the Bach Bouree, the Brahms 4 solo or the Mendelssohn excerpt. I would have done all three but the rules said to do one or two.

-Nina

[ddraven]

This so nice sounding ^_^ I voted for you, maybe my flute playing will be this good someday.

[sk8bitchng]

Perfect as always :D

Love your playing Nina,my vote goes for You! :)

[rardances]

I have played Bourree Anglaise for awhile....and have always wanted to sound like this...omg. You do very well on this. I know you placed many hours of practice into this audition. want to make it all flow...but that piece is intricate. Where can one stop and breathe? OMG.

STILL I GIVE YOU a 10. Gorgeous sound(s).  I hear alot of quality sounds. I love my flutes and your playing is wonderful.

[BenChanViolin]

Absolutely stunning execution, and I also really enjoyed the tempo changes at the end of the Bach. I don't care what anyone else says- I'll vote for you every day of the voting period! Your efforts over the past two years on YouTube are remarkable (and they inspired the beginning of my humble channel)- they would be CRAZY not to take you!! Plus you're among the handful of "favorites" on Symphony's channel! (So am I- go us!) Anyways, best of luck and I'm rooting for you!!

[ninaflute]

Thanks Ben and I'll be voting for you too, you sound great. I'm just keeping fingers crossed to make it to the next round!

[ThaSchwab]

I'd vote for you, too. One of the few professional musicians to audition.

[mochazina]

awesome breathing @ 3:16-ish

[VrtyBrtn]

You make it sound so easy and effortless. *jealous; thinks of own flute sitting on bedroom floor at home in dusty case*

[kyochicku]

Oh wow, how beautiful

[Augustusdavid]

Great entry! Also thank you for your channel's great contribution to youtube

[auxomoxoa]

Lo que me admira de ti es que ademas eres BELLISIMA. incrible. eres mi sueño platonico

[MiinniieMouse]

You and that beat boxing flutess should get together. You're both so good. :) I still wish someone did this with clarinet.

[miamigurl123]

She got with him once, sort of! They did a nice little joke video of her beatboxing, but then he entered the video, exposing her trickery. It was funny! :)

[Tohruxtan]

Beautiful!

[PianoPlaya123]

Also, I saw your video master class posted as their video favorite, pretty cool!

[MLBoykin]

it looked effortless. what else can i say?

[jolandamusic]

Your playing is just amazing!

[jamie0141]

Excellent! Your very talented!

[adomaite]

Beatifully played, Nina. Thanks for stopping by and best of luck.

[PianoPlaya123]

Nice work, I wish I got mine up in time! Hope you make it to Carnegie!

[ninaflute]

Thanks Cambry and too bad you weren't able to submit.

[PianoPlaya123]

I barely made the deadline last night, so I was able to submit, finally got the notification from them that it was confirmed! My video is pretty out of sync though, but at least I was in sync with the conductor lol
