I heard Sir Galway play live, it was genuinely beautiful, and I'm not a massive classical fan.. but it's nice to hear someone play the same instrument as you to such a high standard :L xx
So wonderful, and so beautiful. Almost unexplainable. This has moved my soul and I don't know how to define how it has touched me. It is a timeless piece of music and expression. It is beautuful, just beautiful. Do you see it????
this was the theme song of "THE STUART FOSTER SHOW" on the CBS RADIO NETWORK. Stuart sang the song as "MOONLIGHT LOVE". I wish i record stuart's great show in 1955-6. my loss. i heard the show in 1958 on the armed forcesradio network on shortwave. ROGHARM I miss the great days of NETWORK RADIO!!!!! this performance bring back great memories.
Can't hold back my tears, he is absolutely astonishing. I play the flute but not nearly this well, James Galway is one of my heros, he plays with such clarity and beauty, it's just perfect :)
@TheTrahan I know! People call me weird because I listen to it and all they listen to is rock and rap now. People just don't understand the value of music like this...not really. :p
Wow, this is the first time I've heard Galway play because my band director told me to listen to him, and my gosh he is amazing!! I wish I could get the same pure tone and vibrato that he has! It's just beautiful!!
One of the most beautiful musical compositions ever written performed by one of the greatest musicians of all time ... can it possibly get any better than this ? !
Beautiful.Want to come and see a translation of the poem that inspired Debussy to compose this extraordinary piece of music? Come and visit 'Clair de Lune' on my channel.

The original was written for the piano, so this is a "cover", kind of. I like the piano version better. This one is a little corny...

@dpimentas It's a flute, it's hard to not be corny with a flute... This man is still a virtuoso on Flute. No contemporary can match him.
