[@Cerventous]

Azeem is a wavey don, hold tight G

[@thelouisfanclub]

buzzing for this!

[@patrickneilkilloran]

For everyone in the comments complaining no one is dancing, just listen to the music and ignore them for fuck sake.

[@marmelade229811]

Absolutely incredible. Look forward to seeing you at the recital after my cheeky Nando's, Azeem.

[@OhDeeDoubleYou]

Getting me hyped for tomorrow

[@ashwinhendrix]

LOVE it

[@xRyuBu]

This man is a God.

[@finian101]

@katie d don't make such foolish comments when you know nothing of the history of contemporary flute playing, or the history of the second viennese school. This video is reserved for true fans of azeem only...

[@DominicSouthall]

collab with skepta?

[@azeemward387]

DominicSouthall you know it :)

[@uberLejoe]

I actually enjoy it, I hope people aren't just trying to be jerks and mock him. Otherwise I support the meme completely :)

[@oali94]

this is sick!

[@TheOnlyRicia]

So sick! Can't wait for the recital!

[@ucsantabarbara]

Ricia Person What did you think of the recital?

[@TheOnlyRicia]

It was ace!

[@ulture]

I was at university in 2015 but somehow missed this hype. Guess I just wasn't cool enough. Man has insane talent.

[@MrWiggerdale123]

Azeem is a seriously fucking good flautist

[@brianli6984]

Henry Dale And since when did you become such an expert?

[@brianli6984]

Henry Dale or did you just find out that the general term of referral towards that play the flute in Europe is flaustist

[@MrWiggerdale123]

Well, I studied music in school, I have a qualification in classical music from the Leeds College of Music and am currently in my 2nd year of studying classical music with english literature at Huddersfield university. As a classical guitarist I have worked with various ensembles over the years and have had experience playing with many instrumentalists, including flautists on several occasions. I'm certainly no expert but his performance stands up to some good solo performances I've seen by flautists more mature than him. I don't understand your beef other than for trolling.

[@brianli6984]

Henry Dale No its the fact that most people online are pretending and I took "seriously fucking good" as a global standard instead of a standard set because of his age

[@MrWiggerdale123]

I understand your skepticism

[@paige4204]

Good luck Azeem!!! Love from the uk

[@ucsantabarbara]

pwalshe93 Hope you enjoyed the recital!!

[@LiquidDiamondFlute]

East Wind by Shulamit Ran

[@mrpatty29]

Azeem is it true you're DJing in London next week?

[@SamuelBlondahl]

Cool effect, wait for the 1:40 mark, then open the video in a second window and let them play together. Twice the Azeem.

[@jonkimochi1117]

this might sound rude but i guess because im not a flutist? someone explain to me in full detail what im missing in this pls

[@rg0057]

ham burger You did not provide enough detail to make an assessment of what you're missing.

[@jonkimochi1117]

[@narniasrainb0ws]

[@KevinRodriguez-xe6lv]

[@jakemarsh27]
