A beautiful country.

I am learning Spanish and dreaming of Ecuador. Daniel

Very nice performance but it is Beethoven that comes to life, no Joshua.

Reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933.

Capitalism is great. It created the middle class. Capitalism without rules leads to unbridled excess and abuses that destroyed the middle class. Point is, the "system" must have rules (laws) that protect the public. Senator Glass and Senator Steagall gave us the protections needed in 1933. Wh...

I am a registered Democrat but i must say that Ron Paul to my ears sounds like a true champion of the people. Republicans have the best possible candidate in Ron Paul as he is absolutely brilliant, so why all the adoration of fruit cakes like Mitt Romney, Rick Perry, etc?

My greatest disappo...

I like the way you end this piece with a very strong finish.

Very Impressive!

A Brilliant Arrangement by Cliff Colnot - Daniel (Carol City 1971)

The flute is his voice and it is quite wonderful.

Sounds like a prelude to his 9th Symphony.

His last comments about American flute playing are the most important.

As a European that frequently visits America he is entitled to make this comparison and to note the lack of "spirit" among American flute players.

Listen if you will to Ian Anderson play "Griminelli's Lament". Even though Ian...

Hayley did not know that she was singing a song and a prayer of hope for the beautiful and brave people of Japan. God be with you all.

Really Stupid.

Thank you Cobus! This does work the best when done in conjunction with a bit more lip pressure and for me a very slight angle toward the crown of the headjoint.

Best Wishes - Daniel, South Florida.

Such beautiful and delicate tone!

Are you playing a Sankyo? Thanks. Daniel.

Very nice Mark. I am a beginner on my Pearl-505RE open hole student flute.

Now let me say about my Pearl flute that the action of the mechanic is outstanding but this head-joint is just plain awful!

While researching HJ options for my Pearl i came across the Jack Goosman Butterfly head-joint...

This Sankyo wooden flute is absolutely gorgeous in tone!

I wonder how much better the New York Philharmonic would sound if the entire flute section were playing this flute!(?) Saw you on the Christmas Special Nina!

Best wishes to all - Daniel.

Amazing artistry!

Truly inspiring to the beginner that i am.

I last played the clarinet in high school. That was almost 40 years ago.

When hearing Luis Rossi i am thinking of playing once again!

Mr. Rossi has a student model (Andino) that is readily available here in the United States, so i would begin with that and then purchase a professional Viennese mo...

So much nicer than Pahud! Great interpretation with just the right emotions.
