Mendelssohn violin ( flute ) concerto in e minor mvt1, Sébastian Jacot, Prof. Jacques Zoon

8 years ago that was..so jealous of my hair then ;-)

[@fluteteatime]

that projection, that volume, that clarity, that legato...supreme...

[@pearlflute1]

He merges with the music -- it's not an issue of listening to flute playing but to Jacot playing the music with his entire body, with passion. I have listened to this again and again.

[@Hasselfelde]

The sound is absolutely great and I live those big low tones!! You really make it sound if it was written for the flute!! I'm a flautist of 61 years old and you inspire me to take up practising this piece again! That is quite an achievement! Thank you very much!!!

[@gauthierdefontaine1430]

One of my favorite flutist ! His sound is really amazing 😍

[@marchorne7077]

Congratulations for the 1st prize in the Nielsen Competition!

[@marklee7864]

His sound is so awesome!!

[@mskherynn]

Amazing! I have performed this on many occasions on the Violin, and had never ever imagined it being played on any other instrument...but the FLUTE!!! well, I am uber impressed. I was slightly apprehensive as to how you would perform the double stopping and the lower registered notes below what a flute can reach, but they were very subtly executed and I am in love with this piece once again due to your interpretation and instrumentation of this already outstanding piece of music...bravo!!!

[@Hightreewalker]

Excellent playing, and excellent sounding flute because made of wood. Less harsh sounding even though it's such an intensive piece of music.

[@meshkirose4707]

this is BRILLIANT!you are awesome!

[@jfb0410]

Ç'est une vrai musique de bravoure! Bravo! Je sais que votre flûte et votre technique est le résultat de beaucoup de recherches et en plus vous y mettez une expressivité libre en y prenant des risques. Ç'est ce qu'on aime voir et entendre en concert.

[@HOOKEDONFLUTE]

What absolutely beautiful playing!

[@jonadanhhhong]

I didnt know the flute could match this song!!! Perfect demonstration!!!

Absolutely beautiful!!! Great interpretation of this...love seeing other people use wood flutes, too. :) I played an Abell for a very long time, and am thinking of switching back to wood, probably a cocus wood Sankyo. You're fantastic!

[@bruceallen3286]

My wife,Dorothy/N.E.Conservatory grad-72/just listened to KZbin Mendelssohn violin on wooden flute. She loves this; she learned to play flute on violin music. She plays a Haynes ..may trade for a wooden flute. She fondly remembers Mr.Zoon when he was in Boston. Hoping to be in Japan within a year. Looking for connections for recitaling. Calling Haynes factory next week re: wooden flutes. Didn't see a reply to SirMTB. thx

[@clarinetcounsel]

Very impressive performance. Surprisingly, the wooden flute is very powerful. Would you mind to tell us its brand and model of the wooden flute?

[@RafaelSantos-fn6rj]

top!

Excelent....also give the credits to the conductor: Mr. Domingo Garcia Hindoyan....Venezuelan talent musician...muy bien¡¡

[@optimal798]

Huge fan here. Could you also upload the 2nd movement? Thanks!

[@hardflute]

@MrSbas1208 Do you know if Mr. Zoon sells his headjoints and where? you sound very powerful on it!

[@KristinaDok]

Bravísimo! Qué sonido tan claro y brillante, muchas gracias por escucharte! A propo, no será Gustavo Dudamel el director de la orquesta?

[@MrSbas1208]

Haha gracias!! No, no es Gustavo Dudamel, pero tal vez mejor:-) es Domingo García Hindoyan.

[@KristinaDok]

Gracias, Sebi! :-) Pero es muy parecido a él, verdad que sí? Mucha suerte y alegría de tocar, tu sonido me inspira y motiva mucho! Besos.

[@pahudning]

Sébastian Jacot you speak all. seb hahahaha nul~~~~~~~

[@Jenifer.flute20]

What brand of flute is it in the video? I want a wooden flute so badly. I love my DiZhao, so I might try their wood flute and see if I like it too.

[@janfrank6768]

Your performance is beautiful. Where can I find your performance schedule online?

[@shevja3283]

you r handsome and i lovd your sound

[@SirMTB]

Nobody plays on all wooden instruments anymore, and it's so sad. I was at the conservatory when Mr. Zoon was with Boston Symphony, and since he's left there is very little interest in producing wooden instruments. I would be interested in knowing how you felt about the new Braun wooden flutes, and also wondering if you knew if Haynes is still/could still be comissioned to produce another flute like yours. Also, just for clarification sake, your entire flute is of cocus, or just the head? Ciao

[@gabrielyu88]

I play a buffet wooden clarinet in my SCHOOL band

[@TheNdarm]

What flute this is ?

[@TheRatchetmeister]

What type of flute?

[@MarcoAlbuquerquemarcojca]

Amazing!! Are you a friend of Rui Maia?

[@zengier9191]

He's my crush but he doesn't have any account for me to stalk

[@mskherynn]

I am being seduced by the pied piper!!! that is one HOT flautist!!!!

[@ilanpi]

We excuse the camerman, but obviously you didn't.

[@mc526]

To what do you attribute the flat playing in the low register?

[@lejedidelingo]

Juste listen more carefully, this guy is truly amazing, he just won the Nielsen International flûte competition

[@mc526]

lejedidelingo Not with THIS performance.

[@shoni1998]

mc526 jealous?
