Youtube Symphony Video 1 Tan Dun Eroica Nina Perlove, flute

I'm going to Carnegie to play in the YouTube Symphony!
Thanks for all your votes and support. If you are in the NYC area, come to the concert on April 15, 2009 at 7:30pm.

Playing with a silent virtual conductor was without a doubt one of the most awkward things I have ever done as a musician, so most of my attention was focused on being absolutely precise to the conductor without the real world human to human interaction...

I remember watching this when you first auditioned... you did very well.

I am now attending college as a music major and BY GOLLY YOU GAVE ME CHILLS!!!!!! Fantastic tonguing, and the interpretation is JUST how Tan Dun wanted it! And for some reason, the VERY last note gave me CHILLS - great work. I hope to meet you in person one day! You motivate me to practice, even at 1:22am!

@emoClarinetist

thanks emo. so glad I motivate you to practice!!

[fluteifytheworld]

your middle register is very stuffy. OPEN IT UP! Your high register is BEAUTIFUL! But. Seriously, I think it may be your flute since the rest of your sound is SOOOO gorgeous!!! Why did you use reverb!? EW.

[ninaflute]

fluteifytheworld: I always add a tiny bit of reverb when I record in my office or in my basement because the sound is extremely dry.

[arpsol]

yea i do enjoy seeing you couting the rests because you are so pretty even when you arent playing

and i agree with the real world human to human interaction part.

by the way, which headjoint cut have you used on this video?

[ninaflute]

arpsol: I play a sankyo flute with a RT-1 headjoint (same as the NRS-1)

Burn her, she must be a witch, because no human can control their breathing that well.

You really do scare me.

[moonsister83]

This is insane, I love your playing! u really deserve to get to Carnigie Hall

[woodwinds4ever]

Oh My Gosh that last note always gives me chills!

[VegaEtereo]

excellent o.o

@ninaflute where do you suggest a flute player such as myself travel to for a summer? I thought of Brevard or working at the New York Summer Music Festival... What do you think? I'm advanced enough to play Mozart Flute Concerto in GM and most of the youtube symphony orchestra audition pieces I just found out late and have never played in an orchestra before. I'm a sophomore in college.

Holy cow, I first watched this today and I was amazed, You have to be the best flutist (Don't know If I spelt that right) I've ever seen or heard, Your just breathe taking and in the Allegro section, I was breath taken! :D It may be a year or two now, But Nina, Congratulations of getting in to YTSO! :DD!

[GhostShip09]

That is a litle bit weir never heard about 26 meazures of Silence before. Anyhow it was fun watching the square Blinds behind you, I think it is Japanese!!! Nah, just kidding, I was watching how cute you are...cough cough cough, I mean the music :)

[emoClarinetist]

@ninaflute

I just haven't practiced enough this year as a whole lol...

[crapbag725]

Your breathing is so beautifully disguised!

[lenakog1]

"Scroll ahead to ....unless of course you enjoy watching me count 26 measres of rest"...

"Thanks for keeping me company while i counted rests"
