To see any of the video responses mentioned in this video, you'll need to go to my videos and click video responses which appear under my videos. Tell the flutists you found their videos from ninaflute! I received MANY more excellent videos than I can possibly mention here, including videos of flutists from the UK, Spain, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, the Ukraine, the USA, Germany, Hong Kong, Singapore, Russia, Iraq, Venezuela, Austria, and more!

But the most interesting response I have had to my REAL FLUTE project is a package I received from a prominent flutist. See if you can guess who the mystery flutist is and send me your comments! All the background music to this video is performed by the mystery flutist.

  • The background performer with the baroque flute may be a different player from the one from the Mystery Package! I have 75% confidence that it is not Sir Galway. His playing will be too distinctive and too easy to guess. But then, these recordings were made some time ago I think so I am not sure about Galway's playing then. But I heard his old recordings on his website before and the vibrato technique is not played in this way.

  • Dear fre3d0m: I will tell you that all the playing on the video is by the same player and as far as I know it is all played on modern instruments. If it sounds to you like a Baroque flute than the player is using a more Baroque color. I hope my images of Baroque flutes didn't confuse you, I was just trying to put up something pretty to look at while you listened! Happy guessing!

  • Hay zallthat you think Rampals death is funny?

  • this is GAlway-the flutist with mopst of best goled flutes

  • I think it's a woman flutist based on the breathing. I want to say a student of Julius Baker. It's the phrasing, too. There's a bottom to the sound that Galway recordings don't have.

  • prefect intonation, great vibrato and timbre, grace and an overall feeling of "so easy!!"... James Galway of course. Who else !?

  • i agree with you- his vibrato is dreamy and he has a hard time transitioning from eras so eras (his grace notes and cadenzas are very modern).

  • I guess this is a guy from Brazil. The only I ever found to play like this. He is a great musician and his musicality overpasses Galway and Rampal...Edson Beltrami, from Tatui, Brazil

  • james galway!! defintely.

  • its james galway of course

  • Did she ever say who it was? I have most of Galways recordings and have listened to him, as most of you have, for many years. I agree. I think its Galway.

  • It's his Vibrato that gives it away... Galway is amazing :D
