diminuendo on that high G. Played so sweetly. Many years of hard work by Mr Galway makes it possible for us to hear what long dead composers held in their imaginations. Fantastic sensitive support from the pianist.

After hearing this on a cd by James Galway 30 years ago, I had my musician friends play this while my four sisters, brothers, best man, maid of honor, my father and I walked down the aisle for me to marry my husband. There wasn't a dry eye in the church. I would like to believe it was because how well my lovely friend played this melodious piece and unexpected piece.

He's definitely one of the greatest ever. But there are still flutist out there just as talented. People he also admires. I've met him on several occasions. He's very humble like that. Jasper Goh is absolutely amazing. Some just turned me on to him today. Beautiful Sir Galway.

I'm not suggesting that flutes made of more valuable materials improve a person's sound. Having tried a plethora of flutes ranging from a few hundred dollars to 60 thousand dollars, I am in complete agreement with you. Though the Muramatsu DS is made completely of silver, I bought the EX because I preferred my sound to that on the DS. And by the way I never said gold flutes necessarily sound better; I said that Muramatsu's goal in creating the 24K flute was to make the player sound better.

It's not gold-plated silver-that would just be cheap. It's gold mixed with some other elements to strengthen it, with the main goal being the development of a flute that produces a darker, more wholesome tone. By the way, Muramatsu does make a 24k (basically pure) gold flute.

i'm in grade 11 at school. 7th grade flute is just one of our exam levels here in aus. so the lowest is preliminary then you've got grad 1, 2, 3,4 etc. up to grade 8 then you've got your diploma exams.
@Rexicano The recordings are sometimes annoying because of his vibrato. But I heard him live tree times. And there he also played with a "normal" vibrato. (I also played chess once with him :-))

Great to hear from you! Beleive it or not, the grade level for this music in the USA is III Too many cannot play this piece, yet it is a pathetic level 3. To me, this should be a test piece, and the second movement can be played in almost any venue. WISDOM: It's not so much the flute (Maker, material) that make a great flutist, but rather the flutist himself/herself, combined with great teaching and discipline. GOOD DAY!
