Sir Jimmy is what in Italy we call : una bestia rara: a rare beast. Usually, great virtuosos start very young with a great discipline, but they leave it once they reach the success. There is on you tube an interview to Rampal, who confess he didn't practice anymore. Jimmy, as a old man, he still have the passion and the discipline necessary to develop the flute playing in every aspect. He's an example for every serious musician.
Robert Giles well, yes and no. when you go out to eat, u go for what you prefer. some like barbeque, some like pizza, and some enjoy pasta. neither one is better, same goes for flutists. and to say pahud is better than buriakov, or vice versa is a childish mentality. I dont mean to accuse u, im simply telling my opinion on that behavior as it is.
Guys....it's not about who is better. we are flutists, and doesn't really matter which level. The only point is the progress with the instrument. And the only one who insists on practicing is Jimmy. You may agreed or not. But it is only what happens...
I hope someday I can get join to your masterclass.. I really want this. Take care both you. Loves, Zeynep from Vieri Bottazzini's flute class. @JamesGalwayFlute
I started on a Selmer Bundy flute when I was 11 almost 12 (I got that flute on my 12th birthday) but I agree that mechanically those flutes are not good at all. The first major flute piece that I learned was Arthur Honegger's Danse de la Chèvre. I was 15 when I started working on it and I was 16 when I performed it. I'm 23 and I'm relearning the Nielsen Concerto. :)
My first flute was also a Selmer, but I don't remember seeing the Bundy name with it at all. This was in 1994 or 95 and I was 11 I think. I still have that flute somewhere, but my niece used it for school and in marching band, so it does require some service. Otherwise, it'd serve very well and I see nothing wrong with my particular model. I remember playing the Faure Fantaisie at some point in high school. Senior year was Chaminade Concertino and some other things like Mozart Concerto in G.
Okay, if even James Galway uses cheat fingerings from conical bores to play high on his top hand, I'm not going to feel bad about doing the same thing when I have to go from Cnat to D!
I could listen to that man talking for hours...
And his wife is lovely too. 😊
I guess it is kind of off topic but do anybody know a good place to watch new series online ?

I don't talk shit about Rampal. I just wrote down what he said about himself.
if you say so...
Robert Giles I used to think about whos better, blah blah. eventually I grew up from such childish thoughts, to know its preference.

Sorry about that, i couldn't hear that, what James Galway said, which one Sonata? Liebermon sonata? Liebermann? Here : 7:35
"I have great difficulty with the Liebermann Sonata, it's a difficult piece"

I remember that flute. If you could play that hunk of metal you probably could play anything after
Very good
I didn't know that George Haynes also made Selmer flute.It is called Selmer Perfected Master flute.Go to ebay and find the seller QuinnTheEskimo .
Well the best ever still day
Switch to the open g#. You have a much better "grasp" of the flute naturally. 1:50
Sir James, hide your gold and don't look at the eyes.
Love the two four bit...things have not changed much! Young flute players are attempting pieces that are far too difficult.

Until today someone is still trying to sell Selmer Gold Seal LONDON on ebay and amazingly there are people interested.
