Amy Porter performs Mozart G Major K. 313 Mvt 1. Allegro maestoso

[@RachelWoolf]

Seeing this live was such an incredible experience. I'm so grateful to be able to listen to it over and over again. Sending love!

[@silverflute9413]

i've listened to a lot of iterations of this concerto, but it never really hit me, that so many of mozarts composition are so much about just the essence of life, of being alive, and being joyful in that idea. this was an absolutely beautiful performance

[@Gospel_Sounds]

Crisp clear tonality and great breath control Amy. Also the dress and walk were great too.

[@JuanSanchezGuerra]

A really nice rendition!

[@thunderfoot43]

This is one of the most majestic interpretations I've heard of this piece. Her point gets across incredibly well.

[@fuzzypeach912]

Absolutely gorgeous sound and interpretation, especially the cadenza!

[@26ebflute]

Just had a masterclass with this fantastic woman on this movement. she was so insightful and helpful. She is a fantastic teacher and performer and is such an inspiration.

[@blues123ization]

Mozart never sounded better! Kudos to Amy, her beautiful flute, conductor and orchestra 🎶❤️

[@porterflute]

My sincere thanks.

[@pubmgr]

Lovely playing. TY, Amy!

[@Cubasenet33]

Perfect tone, perfect articulation, perfect vibrato... Full of musicality. What a pleasure to listen, Amy! Your playing is absolutely fantastic. To my ear, there's something to improve in the intonation on the side of the orchestra. Maybe the brass?

[@BrandonLeP]

Your cadenza is ADORABLE!!

[@porterflute]

Thanks - I wrote them!

[@merrylneille]

jesus christ Amy, come to California and rub something off on me. Fantastic performance of a well-loved piece!

+Linda Hurst Coming to CA TWICE in 2016! Hope to see you somewhere. Northern AND Southern CA flute Camps and NFA. -AP

Bruh that cough in the middle of the cadenza tho

[@wildstingray4463]

i have a quick question, being a flute player myself who wants to perform like this. why does Amy Porter have to memorize her music and the string and brass instruments in the chairs do not ? they seem to be reading off of music.

[@alexdeconteliar3587]

She didn't have to have it memorized but usually in a concert, the soloist memorizes the piece. The other players didn't because they were the orchestra and not soloists

[@tomgreene2282]

At this stage she is probably familiar with it for over 30 years....and may have a great musical memory.

[@Giulia-dc7ml]

Well the guys in the chairs are the orchestra they always read the music

[@Smood47]

Great great performance, although I think there is still some room for growth... take a look at Emmanuel Pahud's rendition.

[@porterflute]

Smood47 I love growing :-)

[@meltingsmile]

+Smood47 I agree that Pahud's interpretation is excellent, but my personal favorite is Peter-Lukas Graf's.

[@Smood47]

+porterflute That is the attitude of a upcoming master. What flute are you using here?

[@porterflute]

+meltingsmile Peter-Lukas is a dear friend and was my teacher. Good choice!

[@porterflute]

+Smood47 So funny! You must be older than me then! At my age of 51 I feel I can still master my instrument. I'm even improving thankfully! That flute is a 14K rose gold made for me by Mr. Aoki in 1999. I sold it to a student in 2014. And the orchestra is made up of scientists and doctors who love performing in their Life Sciences Orchestra. Great people. - AP
