Prokofiev: Sonata for Flute and Piano Op. 94, Galway, Argerich

[@klarinetta]

No one plays the flute like James Galway. He's truly one of a kind.

[@deborahkelleher2532]

What a wonderful collaboration between two world class artists.

[@robertocarvalhodemagalhaes3648]

+Deborah Kelleher Isn't it beautiful? It was exactly 40 years ago and Martha Argerich was still quite young.

[@robertarubinstein9266]

This Prokofiev violin concerto 2 has been and remains one of my very favorite pieces of music since I was 19. I am now 76 and as completely thrilled as I've ever been !!!

[@gerardbegni2806]

Are you sure that your comment applies to this sonata? I agree with you about the violin Concerto n° 2.

[@somebodys7404]

@@efrainsotomayor399 Also, this is not a concerto. Prokofiev Violin Concerto no 2 refers to an entirely different composition in g minor.

[@thomassnider6691]

@@somebodys7404 Maybe she meant she to put the word 'and' before Prokofiev.

You can't do better than these two---5 star performance!

Interprétation magistrale....waouh la flûte!

[@anitanoei1645]

Omg i'm in love with this sonata just listen to the sounds how can somebody do that

[@sitarnut]

Dear Anita, I've been saying that very thing too, for decades..how gifted and with a complete understanding of the range of instruments. proper form, etc.....that will have to be some other lifetime for me... Try Debussy's Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp.... Cheers from Texas.

Ah the days...great memories....two of the greats.

[@gerardbegni2806]

As far as I know, Prokofiev wrote first this version for fulte and piano then transribed it for violin, which makes its second sionata for violin and piano. In USSR, the censorship of Stalin and Jdanov forced Prokofiev to simplify his style. Fortunately, he succeeded to write such beautiful things as this sonata, but he became very anxious about each new work he was doing. It is wonderful to see an international soloist like Marta Argerich to play such works, in which the star is obvously the flute, while th piano hes rather a second role. This is a top level intepretation, needless to say.

[@gcg8187]

agree, this is a fantastic integration. I have also been listening to Argerich for year

[@vincent-ataramaniko]

Well yes the piano is usually a second role here but it does have a few parts where it's supposed to sing and the flute supports it.

[@artiesst666]

Yes, it was an original flute Sonata. Serge Prokofjev thought there should be more music written for flute...!!! Very demanding flute technique. James Galway at his best.

[@tomgreene8480]

I was lucky to have heard him in those times when he played in Dublin...thanks for upload.

[@gcg8187]

Dude... how good has James galway back then? I only got to hear him live once when I was 14, I'm 22 now and I dont remember what he sounded like :( what was his energy and vibrato like?

[@steveegallo3384]

BRAVI ad ENTRAMBI.....from Acapulco!

[@arnoldvdwaals]

Excellent to post this glorious sonata...I have them both...the album and the cd....album sounds better and warmer...thanks for posting

+Arnold van der Waals You're welcome.

[@kiaraeijo]

I’m normally not a Galway fan but I really like this recording that he did with The Lioness of the Piano herself (aka Martha Argerich). I realize now that I prefer young Galway over the Galway of recent years.😊❤️👏👏👏👏

[@andrescasas2359]

SHE is so talent and beautiful pianist. But, he is so talent..... I love them !

[@frankpiccione8571]

Listening to James Galway on St. Patrick's dsy. Perfect! Dont even need a Guniness Stout.

[@jamesrobacker8507]

galway had his integrity,great recording,won a grammy,no it was 37 yrs ago

[@stratazarkadas]

What energy! I would love to hear a recent collaboration with the same talent playing the same Prokofiev Sonata.

[@brianj959]

Pahud and Kovacevich give it a red hot go - although I think that recording is 20 years old too now!

[@irmacusini3530]

you are the greatest James, bus with She is more easy because also she is perfect🤩

[@Liedermacher1000]

Very good 👍

[@robertobeltrami6466]

Gigantesco Galway!!

[@arnoberthelin6283]

So cool i'll prefer if it was Agerich+Pahud, but nice (the Pahud version is awesome, i prefer Argerich for piano, but for flute i prefer Pahud!!!!) Maybe the "french" sound of Pahud when he was 22...almost 30 y ago :o

[@brianj959]

I think Pahud has the most beautiful tone of just about anyone.

[@justanotherbohemian3827]

Nice

[@peilingLeslieLiu]

❤❤❤

[@RomaKubiak]

Nie do opisania! Brak słów! :)

[@arnoberthelin6283]

Gérard Wyss is not bad too with Pahud, and Gallway still a great flutist but..bah it's heart preference :)

'king ads !!

[@robertocarvalhodemagalhaes3648]

There were no ads. As I don't own the copyright of this, the owner decided to put ads - what KZbin allows. It's unfortunate, but I can't control it.

[@philippepichard8999]

I have no doubts about that, never had. KZbin should be more careful when placing ads in such videos.

[@PeterSquitieri]

@@robertocarvalhodemagalhaes3648 at least they put them between movements.

Dans " joueurs de flûte " de Albert Roussel , je n aimais guère les 2 morceaux rapides* ; par comparaison , je sens que vais me mettre à les aimer ! ( Je ne veux pas être plus méchant que ça avec Prokofiev ) *: mais le médium et le lent , quelles merveilles !!!
