Bach Sonata in Em-first 2 mvts.Raanan Eylon-Flute,Anat Sharon-Piano 1988

You make every phrase expressive with all kinds of little nuances and lots of character. Not a dull moment anywhere! And where do you get the air to go on and on? Sometimes I think, "surely he'll take a breath before the phrase is over", but you just keep going to the end. Wonderful!

You're continually searching how to make your musical expression have more impact---A TRUE POET/PAINTER/MUSICIAN...Always awesome...

EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE !! Your flute displays it's harmonics so richly! On your tuning A, I thought I heard a beautiful trumpet! Thank you two.

The amount of phrases in the first mvt. that are left unresolved(harmonically)is testament to the fact that even a man of deep faith can have moments of troubling doubt.

This calls for a sound that is able to convey these doubts,which means-anything but a pleasant flute sound.

The tuning As probably reflect my search for a focussed sound.

Listening back today,I am dissatisfied with moments that are a bit sharp-I had not yet zeroed in on where I wanted to be.

Thanks for the kind words.
