I didn't like this piece, until I heard your version of it. You play it with so much story and so much care. incredible job! I hope to play this piece myself in my master final exam in 3 years from now.

Arguably the best flutist in the world, today. No, I'm not dismissing Bouriakov nor Jasmine Choi. His command (articulation) is unbelievable. It's a sin that someone should be able to play as well as he. Galway? Step aside, you've been replaced.

[@jorgemartin5093]

J. Galway is getting old. His sound is edgy and thin now compared with his glory days, even he plays with a 80000 dollars flute, he is not what he used to be anymore. It happened the same with J P. Rampal...

[@vulpini5160]

If you think that Jasmine is one of the best flutists nowadays, you just don't know a thing about flute hahaha

[@jimmillen2241]

I've said this on previous replies : he has incredible command of the his flute. Only one thing left: He needs to mollify the C-3 register (high C) so that his playing doesn't make our ears bleed. This CAN be accomplished on a French (open hole) flute. It's a difficult technique -- but can be accomplished. Also I noticed that unlike Jasmine Choi and Paula Robison, Paolo reads from sheet music. I would assume that he knows --- or should should know any recital composition by heart. Other than that, I stand on what I say --- he is (arguably) the best flutist in the world, today.

I read what you wrote Jim. I guess you were talking about the fourth higher C of the flute. Did you? On a b footjoint flute that tone is harder to get and to sustain. On a c footjoint flute is easier to play and it tends to sound more open and not like an ugly shout but it is practice and to own a good handcrafted flute too with an excellent headjoint. Anyway the gizmo key was invented...but in a uncomfortable position for fast passages, though it helps a lot if you want to stay there enjoing that tone for a while. (I mean for a projection a longer period of time ), but like on almost ANY instrument, the extreme limits usually don't sound very well (i mean warm soft, etc) That high c is there on the flute to be played when needed but it is a more piccolo register tone. I'm agreed with you that playing with a sheet before your eyes is distracting but i think he plays passionately though moving his body so much from side to side, to up and down, i doesn't help but i insist that it is his feeling and his passion. His soul.
