Came here to look for a place to sneak a breath.. turns out I gotta grow another lung.

[@fong03]

He snuck in 2 extra breaths! 🤓 His sound resonates so wonderfully. 👏

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

There's 2 really good ones, 3rd bar after Q after first semiquaver and 9 after Q again after the first semiquaver

[@miriam_tung]

Leave it to Pahud to make his extra breaths as unnoticeable as possible…

[@jeanhoover3406]

I was really surprised he took those two extra breaths! But I guess in order to be heard over the orchestra, it’s necessary.

[@minjaejameskim8340]

his solo just resonated across the entire orchestra stage, and the solo from the scherzo is one of the hardest solos to do so...

[@wilflauto5029]

The black wooden flute of the other flutist looks AWESOME

[@tomasgarcia7499]

I cry everytime

[@rudolphmcneill515]

Wow. I can't believe I saw Pahud perform 20yrs ago. My mom and grandmother always did say that time passes more quickly the older you get. 😊❤❤

How did it go?

[@arinetic5538]

@@alexanderwatson9845 it was at UBC in 2018 - funny enough they didnt even ask for the mendelssohn excerpt. I didn't get in then, but two years later after spending some time at a small college, I'm likely transferring out to University of Toronto :)

howwww

[@SANTALICKSPEOPLE]

does pahud single tongue the entire passage?

[@ardavanpourkeramati5748]

No, if you listen very closely, you will hear him double tounging it.

[@miriamwaddell3280]

I thought that too. His double tonguing is so good that it sounds like single tonguing.

[@robertobarreca1015]

Si tratta di uno degli assolo per flauto più difficili del repertorio. Mi sembra che in questa versione, suonata dal flautista accreditato per essere oggi il migliore al mondo, non manchino: qualche fiato di troppo, qualche nota non eseguita (al suo posto il respiro) e qualche leggero sfasamento ritmico rispetto all'orchestra.

[@freeradc]

dag. and he added trills.

[@matthewlin754]

no he didn't

[@evguenibrokmiller7476]

Не очень ..

[@jorgemartin5093]

Nunca se oye una mierda.

[@organboi]

Flutist plays one of the hardest excerpts of all time. Takes decades of practice and mastery. Conductor does nothing but wave a stick and make a ssshhhh . I can't stand conductors. Getting all the credit for doing shit.

[@callum.ewen4]

Have some respect, that's Claudio Abbado, it's just as difficult to master conducting. Do you see a score for him to look at? No, that's because he's remembered this entire piece off by heart. Now sit down and shut it.

[@ccflute]

organists are self conductors anyway so if you are a conductor it is probably natural you can't stand another conductor😂

[@1hungryBo1]

I hate this solo

[@sillygirlcentral]

Why
