Your control over the speed of vibrato, slow, medium and fast, is rare. I'd say most flutists can't do two speeds very well. Maybe some other flutists can do it and I just never encountered anyone who could, or noticed it. Most flutists, even many top professionals, have very limited range when trying to change their vibrato speed. Still, your vibrato sounds more natural in the medium to slow range, and the fast vibrato sounds a wee bit forced, when you're trying to do a lot of it anyway. I'm sure that when you play the held low notes in the first movement of Mozart's G Major Concerto, you have no problem exciting that note to a fast vibrato, which was something which was impossible for me to do. An example of a flutist with a natural vibrato that was fast was French player René Le Roy. Even in slow movements which might call for a slower vibrato, his is fast. And on the slow end, Jeffrey Khaner, (principal, Philadelphia Orch.) For people with limited ability to control the speed, and I would include myself in that group, and I'm about like Khaner, slow in my most natural speed, it becomes imperative for them to master good control of depth, as would any good vocalist. When I was playing flute, which was really less than six years of my entire life total, I felt like I was singing through the flute, and I listened to the great sopranos for direction and inspiration on how to use vibrato to shape phrases, and how to make the vibrato go shallower into no vibrato at times, like at the end of notes. I played several arias from memory, and also read through the soprano arias in operas. Also though, this all came naturally for me. I didn't have to practice vibrato, and I was simply not capable of speeding it up to as fast as I wanted at times. I did my best to get it up to medium. People with a natural vibrato which is fast, with limited ability to slow it down at all, or can't dissolve into no vibrato gradually on note endings, their playing sounds nervous and out of control. Pop singers, like Edith Piaf, have all kinds of quirky vibratos and that can be part of their appeal, but classical singers don't. There's a range which is acceptable. As Maria Callas got up in her 50s, her vibrato on high notes started to spread a little too wide, but it wasn't terrible. She's still my favorite singer of all time. There is one very highly regarded flutist who has been on the scene for a while, including playing some solos with major orchestras, but rarely. I'm not going to name them. Anyway, their technique and every other aspect of their playing is special, top of the heap, but their vibrato sounds nervous and unnatural, and poorly controlled at times. I especially hate note endings which jitter to a nervous stop. I see you're really drawing in a huge Japanese audience on this post with a flood of, my comment makes three. Just joking. But it is terrible that you get as little traffic as you do, because flutists looking for inspiration, and some nice backing tracks to the excerpts, including the music, should be here in droves. Some people feel uncomfortable because you don't speak or show your face, but I would never show my face if I had a gold flute either, or any kind of flute collection. I understand. I have reason to suspect you are building your career, and get enough attention from your professional activities, and have no interest in becoming a KZbin personality. There's plenty of need for that also. I don't mind the young women who are practically making a career out of demonstrating flutes and becoming KZbin hosts and personalities. Back in 2005, when KZbin started, I emailed one professional flutist, she teaches on a faculty with a bunch of others. I had heard her on the radio and she is spectacular. So I told her to get her publisher of her CDs to put a few of the tracks on KZbin, and for her to get her own website. She ignored me, pretty much. She was well known in the flute world, but not outside the flute world. She ignored my idea, until some years later. Yes, she has her channel up now. She was playing with some medium orchestras as soloist at the time, and had some appearances with the top orchestras as well, but only a few a year. Rampal was a big blowhard in promoting himself. He used to spread a banner across any hall he was giving a recital -- Jean Pierre Rampal - World's Greatest Flutist. This drove William Kincaid and my first teacher crazy. I thought Rampal was brilliant for doing this. And after all, he was great, no matter what William Kincaid or my teacher thought. They hated that Rampal rushed some passages in the Mozart Concertos. Good grief. I liked it. It wasn't in poor taste. His playing was less rigid than Kincaid. Kincaid was perhaps the greatest teacher of the flute ever, though.
