This is precisely where Pahud shines. No doubt he's a great flutist all round, as there are many others, but this kind of music and solo performance allows him to show his best. Emotional, but not overdone, lots of nuances, a personnal interpretation but with lots of musicality and nothing superfluous or gratuitous.
It's interesting to see how all the great artists articulate differently... With their own unique style, delivering the same "story"... Of the piece of music But in their own particular way .... With the subtle nuances.. Still eloquent with the expression but with different character... Different shading ..
@@mortalwizard1988 no. Since he made a comment on how flexible and sophisticated is Pahud's tone. Galway should not be mentioned in this context. Galway lacks any kind of color palette. He is good with is fingers, but has a truly horrible tone
I do like Galway, I’m curious to know why you’re saying he’s a horrible tone. He plays beautifully, perhaps Pahud set a very high standard for flute players, but I wouldn’t say that about Galway. He’s still one of the best flutist out there.
@@ilariaminiussi4651 he is far from good. He lacks flexibility, openness. His lips are squeezed together, and the angle is wrong. He cannot use his cavities in his head. He has a closed throat, and a disgusting ketchup vibrato. He plays everything in the same, forced style. He cannot play with our feelings, and doesn't have a colour palette. His tone is thin, doesn't project and doesn't have a core. Cannot stand him, and the pretentious self-loving attitude he has. He is a horrible musician. But, he has good fingering technique, he can play fast. And that is enough to sell himself. He become an icon for that. Everyone loves him for that. Well, everyone who has no taste and ear 🤷♂️ THIS video is the perfect example that shows how horrible is he as a flute player.
Pierre Turlur I've always found it very interesting - and not that obvious - how silence is as much part of music as the sound produced with instruments...!
I'm really " getting into" Pahud, and I think he's so incredibly strong and the very most sophisticated flutist, not to mention that he seems very nice. Love Pahud' s emphasis on intonation. He makes a mistake here that I make--focusing on performing individual phrases rather than connecting all phrases together for hearing the effect of the whole piece. I always have to think it through more, think it through more. Pahud is great!
Quien carajos le da no me gusta a este video. Ésta es la mejor versión de Syrinx. Su expresión corporal parece una coreografía. Es un performance muy coherente, gran apropiación del trasfondo de la obra, con una técnica del sonido impecable y gran elegancia y porte escénico.
Please do stop dispraising his performance!!! Why do we have to imagine a forest in Ancient Greece!?!? Okay I don't care. Even with such critics like yours, his performance is supreme.
@@koala462 I don’t think they were necessarily dispraising... I love this performance, but it’s still natural for listeners to imagine scenes following the music. Everyone is different, so they imagine different things. This doesn’t mean insulting his playing; in fact, it just shows that his playing has such variety that we can clearly imagine a story just from his music.
What a wonderful musician he is - a real magician of colours! And the violin-like portamento in bar 19 let us flautist simply said shiver.....BRAVO!! Thank you so much Emmanuel Pahud!!
Talia Rodriguez when I would play this I would stretch the little silences out reeeeaaaaaally long, I was playing it in a church and you could literally stand there and listen to the echoes bouncing off the walls.
Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. The most authentic "French" version. I listened again and can really hear this now--the attention/devotion given in the performance. Beautiful up to the Denouëment and down to my favorite phrase at 3:14 and again at 3:18. Wonderful feeling and sonorite.
Richesse de la palette chromatique et du champ des nuances, usage raisonné et sensible du timbre du vibrato au son "blanc", liberté mais intelligence des respirations, sens du phrasé... C'est de la très grande flûte... C'est Emmanuel Pahud qui, lorsque je suis venu l'écouter à Strasbourg avait autant à donner à Schubert (Arpegionne) qu'à Debussy. Je lui vois deux "chevalières" l'accompagnant :Jasmine Choi mais surtout Marina Piccinini, l'une pour sa technique précise, l'autre pour son panache et son inspiration unique... M. Pahud, au plaisir de nous revoir.
La interpretación de Emmanuel Pahud de "Syrinx" de Claude Debussy para flauta sola es simplemente impresionante. Pahud es conocido por su habilidad técnica excepcional y su expresividad musical, y esta interpretación no es una excepción
Spirituelle, sensorielle et rebelle, la musique de ce compositeur reflète des impostures secrètes, explore des plaisirs sereins, un monde de rêves renaissants🌺🕊
@@BrendaR4a Oh you don't like Pavane? I adore it! But I'm super impressed you can play the flute! I'm afraid I'm just an admirer of such artistic beautiful sounds! Ok you don't like Favane but MAYBE you might like it here..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HhiVuIRw4tM.html
@@erpl6417 I do not know why you would think that. I waited impatiently till I was old enough that my mom would let me hold her flute, and even did violin in school a year earlier because strings started in 4th grade at school but winds didn’t start till 5th grade. My parents never had to nag me to practice. Playing the flute is the greatest joy of my life and core to my sense of identity. I suspect God created me as a musician. But there are flute pieces that are so famous I have heard them a million times by now, and I’ve always preferred playing the flute over listening to someone else do it. If I want to listen to music I usually choose large orchestral or large choral works. My favorite instruments to listen to are piano cello and trumpet.
This is the music I'd expect to hear upom emterimg am Egyptiam pyramid. First heard it im the early 50's whem it was the theme for the TV program "What Im the World?" Always gave me goosebumps!! (sorry for the vrokem computer keys).
"i will pay you in stories of my abusive father, set to dissonant flute. I was seven when he first came home drunk, a child should sleep on his bed, not under it"
+Annon My understanding of CapriceBozza80's comment was that interpreters of the piece less talented than M. Pahud might produce shrill sounds, not that the instrument itself is shrill. At any rate, the name-calling is unwarranted (or as it used to be described: "uncouth").
Dude...you don't understand. Moron #1 stated that a piece Debussy wrote FOR FLUTE, sounds "shrill", on... wait for it... A FLUTE! If I were name-calling, you know what I'd've called on you: Mr. Mauricio Dorón... Moron #2.
+Annon, Esq. Ah, but for the sad eloquence of the uncouth among us whose reading skills suit their illiterate purposes! FYI: the actual statement was that the "piece TENDS TO sound very shrill on a flute" NOT that the flute sounds shrill as an instrument, in and of itself.
It's the God Pan dying, and knows he's dying and it's the last time he will ever play the flute. Shrieking a bit is fully appropriate, under those circumstances.
