Le flutiste Emmanuel Pahud - Entre Bach et Jazz - part 3 (of 6)

Niemals Ausser Atem - Ein Floetist zwischen Bach und Jazz
INTERVIEW'S TEXT:
There are pieces that we have played
just one time here,
others that we have played 3 times yet,
as this Débussy's sonata in trio.
At the beginning, practically nothing happens,
you feel just a light quiver...
this makes thinking of the Provenza's air
when the evening comes,
this makes thinking of this heavyness...
after, a little cool wind rises
and there is so many sound-depth
and also so many substance in the air...
you can feel those molecules in motion
on your skin
or every time you breathe in or out,
and the air becomes impalpable...
it's where vibrations form...
what is music, just reasoning air...

A flutist, a musician of genius
is somebody who is able to touch his public.
If he plays in front of Bach's, Schubert's,
Boulez's, Mozart's specialists
or in front of neophytes
he should reach they...
the important is what he passes on...
A musician with a certain aura
will fascinate his public
whatever piece he plays.
