Mercurial is the first word that springs to mind -with D's music. He ducks and weaves effortlessly between atonality and those delicious tonal sections - somehow he comes out the other side with a thing of pure beauty. He never forces the issue, he just lets the music go its own merry way - that's the way it should be!

now THIS is French music

@JosePedroSilvaSousa yes I know, my flute teacher knows him aswell ^^ sorry for the bad english

@olinafl many composers that I have met say that this piece is "too fragmentary".. maybe Dutilleux had the same opinion.. anyway it's a great sonatina, very difficult to play well
-
perfect.

@adriennedrichey i noticed that too! i think it's quite normal, i sound much better when i'm taking my lesson and my teacher makes a few examples than when i make a thousand efforts at home to improve my sound...

If I compare how I sound when I'm practicing before I listen to Pahud and after I listen to Pahud, I actually sound better after I've listened to him. No joke. He's magical ♥

Perfect icy interpretation *sans nuances*, just like Dutilleux wanted it to be! Bravo!

Wow, now that is impressive! But I can't expect any less from Pahud, can I?
What gets me is his impeccable phrasing. I don't know how he can go so long without breathing. Lord knows I'm practically lightheaded when I play this piece.
And I absolutely LOVE his interpretation of the final cadenza. It's brilliant. The dynamics, stretching, and color changes are absolutely astounding.
