Flute Concerto No.2 In D Major Mozart K.314 First Movement.

[MusicBeSweetYo]

ohh Galway.. just when you spend several hours on a piece and you think it's sounding good...

[elloloveify]

Holy CRAP this guy conducts his own concerto performances... O.O 

[666HellTiger]

Yeaah, one can play the cadenza like that. *sarcasm*

[sunglasses71]

OMG!! He's insanely amazing! I'm learning this piece and have no compare to James Galway.

[aquariummelody]

My cadenza is so far a jiggling mess on the floor compared to this.

[osamusakura]

Who were the string players? The concertmaster didn't care Galways' conducting ;-)

[melissalovesmusique]

<3 lovee

[gili1484]

breathlessssssssssssssssssssss­!!!!!!!!!!

[aquariummelody]

My question is: how much in love were his flute and beard/mustache? Very much in love

[MauriceFlute]

LOL look at his conducting!!

[JasonTongRulz]

How to impress children:

1. Play 1:26

2. Success.

Did it myself and it worked a charm.

[kittyrock1]

@JasonTongRulz Shoot, it still impresses me because I sound NOTHING like that when I play it.

[Performerx43]

Just listen to how perfect and sweet that high D in the beginning is.... *sigh*

[Performerx43]

Love Galway for so many reasons...not only a great player, but a very enthusiastic conductor!! :D

[tsaoish]

最優美的長笛協奏曲!

[MusicBeSweetYo]

I like how theres all these serious looking string players and then there's jolly old james galway(;

[RCRushFans5]

Love James Galway absolutely beautiful playing capabilities.

[TheSamaparker]

Is that John WIlliams playing violin @ 0:14?

[flutiste94]

@TheSamaparker don t know but at the first sight i thought that too!!! haha.....i guess not...

[FLuTeYTuNeS]

who is the cadenza by?

[tipwhore79]

all time hero! would giv both my legs to hav his axe!

[Rexicano]

Galway thinks Mozart is a pile of pancakes and needs syrup poured all over it.

Sadly, musical diabetes is a growing problem. Galway; the Zamfir of the flute.

[MahoRoulete]

@Rexicano DUDE! WHAT THE HELL! if you dont like him, DONT LISTEN AND COMMENT! no one wants to see you trash someone. >.>

[MahoRoulete]

@Sorvisormi LOL now i am staring. its blinding @_@

[blues4never]

The Man lives in Heaven.

[vivmellow]

amazing :)

[NAGYJUDIT423]

the orchestra is fantastic....

[classicalmusful]

I thought this concerti was meant to be for the oboe....

[MahoRoulete]

@classicalmusful there is a slight difference in the score of the oboe and flute, i dont know where since i dont have sheet music, but basically it is the same, but i guess mozart fancied this piece and wanted it to be played on the flute as well

[MahoRoulete]

@classicalmusful the difference is octaves im assuming and the oboe concerto is in c

[wilsonwk]

@Sorvisormi that's a typical defect in digital video coding. ^^

[duckyking5]

The man with the golden flute has done it again

[loveflute16]

i can't even imagine being able to play like that... wow O.o

[mirnaflute]

he's zo amazing :O

[Spock356]

James Galway is amazing... two years ago we saw him live at the opening night of the Hollywood Bowl... he played Oh Danny Boy, and it was incredible. It put flute playing in a whole new perspective for me. Before, I had only thought of someone as "good" when I heard them play something incredibly fast or difficult, but now I kow youcan do that with practice no matter who you are. But it would take someone as amazing as Galway to play with the emotion and beauty that he did.

[gili1484]

so much talent..... i sit here and cry because i kone ill never play as good as he does...

[jdbrown371]

Most popular classical music stars miss the mark. He doesn't.

[ciianax]

ele ainda rege a orquestra, Lindo

[hermanasmuerte]

beautiful

[MusicFluteAndLove]

Wow....

[krungt88]

Amazing!

He plays the flute in way with no difficulties! It sounds unique and magic!

He has the best tone on flute!

I get a goose skinn! Wow! He is a miracle!

[krungt88]

Amazing!

He plays the flut in way with no difficulties! It sound unique and magic!

I get a goose skinn! Wow! He is a miracle!

[emquandra]

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel him rush, and be a bit inconsistent with tempo in the first few measures he plays? Not to insult sir James Galway, he is a hero of mine, but I just want to make sure I'm not crazy!

[AquosAspirin]

@emquandra

its probabbly just the adrenaline~ :D

[gili1484]

@emquandra remember that he plays the flute and his the maestro of the orchestre both the same the same time so he is in control of the tempo...

[emquandra]

@gili1484 Yes, I know this. But there is also a tempo in which he starts, and then a few other tempi on the side..

Not to say he is "wrong," because whether he is right or wrong, he is right, and the orchestra is going to follow him no matter what. But, my point is merely he isn't totally consistant. Not that could ever hold a candle to Sir James Galway. But NOBODY is perfect! (No matter how close!) lol

[gili1484]

@emquandra i think it just him adding emotions, its very hard to put emotions and stay still... but i got your point, your right :)

[MahoRoulete]

@emquandra also remember its baroque era music, so he has creative freedom. I'm sure he did that on purpose.

[kinokonoko123]

@MahoRoulete Mozart's Classical Era.... =0=;;

[MahoRoulete]

@kinokonoko123 oops! sorry my mistake! ^^' i'm new to the instrumental composers from back in the day ^^' i'm sure my flute teacher would scold me for the mistake Dx

[LozzaViolin]

I'm learning this - i love his sound :)

[gili1484]

@LozzaViolin only his sound?? XD

[Chuatola]

Amazing...

[foreverfluteplayer]

thanks.

[muziklovr123]

James Galway... what a legend.
