Jules Mouquet-La Flute De Pan 2nd mvt, Pan and the Birds Played by James Galway on the flute Pianist-Phillip Moll James Galway's recital in Belfast, Waterfront Hall
diminuendo on that high G. Played so sweetly. Many years of hard work by Mr Galway makes it possible for us to hear what long dead composers held in their imaginations. Fantastic sensitive support from the pianist.
After hearing this on a cd by James Galway 30 years ago, I had my musician friends play this while my four sisters, brothers, best man, maid of honor, my father and I walked down the aisle for me to marry my husband. There wasn't a dry eye in the church. I would like to believe it was because how well my lovely friend played this melodious piece and unexpected piece.
He's definitely one of the greatest ever. But there are still flutist out there just as talented. People he also admires. I've met him on several occasions. He's very humble like that. Jasper Goh is absolutely amazing. Some just turned me on to him today. Beautiful Sir Galway.
I have had this piece lying around for a year and yesterday I decided to look at it. The 32nd runs are a lot of fun to play. Just take it five notes at a time and you'll have it soon enough.
...from 3:20 on you have Galway at his best...the sound is absolutely sublime at 3:52 and on...this is the greatest flute player who has walked this planet...a gift from God...and may God bless him for what is now a lifetime of amazing music.
That tone in the low register from 1:20 on is just ravishing! Someone commented that his tone is " bird-like". I think he heard the penny whistle as a child and that influenced his sound.
I'm not suggesting that flutes made of more valuable materials improve a person's sound. Having tried a plethora of flutes ranging from a few hundred dollars to 60 thousand dollars, I am in complete agreement with you. Though the Muramatsu DS is made completely of silver, I bought the EX because I preferred my sound to that on the DS. And by the way I never said gold flutes necessarily sound better; I said that Muramatsu's goal in creating the 24K flute was to make the player sound better.
It's not gold-plated silver-that would just be cheap. It's gold mixed with some other elements to strengthen it, with the main goal being the development of a flute that produces a darker, more wholesome tone. By the way, Muramatsu does make a 24k (basically pure) gold flute.
i'm in grade 11 at school. 7th grade flute is just one of our exam levels here in aus. so the lowest is preliminary then you've got grad 1, 2, 3,4 etc. up to grade 8 then you've got your diploma exams.
@Rexicano The recordings are sometimes annoying because of his vibrato. But I heard him live tree times. And there he also played with a "normal" vibrato. (I also played chess once with him :-))
It is most certainly NOT gold-plated silver. In this particular video, he is playing a 24K solid gold Muramatsu with 14K gold mechanism. (He had not yet switched to Nagahara as of this recital).
You have indeed...especially to get those runs well blanced and in time. What grade level would this be in the US conservatories?? It's Gr VIII over here.
I won the Concerto competition at Shenandoah Conservatory of music playing this piece. One of my absolute favorite tunes! Gotta be in shape to play it!
@ericoschmitt instead of holding it up all the time you can relax the G# finger... I mean, I do it sometimes and is usefull when you're playing on the stage and you're getting a bit tense

Best words ever !
i played this for my solo performance at school 10 years ago and still remember making my principal cry

Wow, that's a wonderful story! He truly is an amazing musician!
Every time I listen to this song I get chills! This is my favorite piece by Sir James Galway! HE IS THE BEST FLUTIST IN THE WORLD :)
*Flautist
@@forest1144James Galway: "I'm a flute, not a flautist. I've never played a flaut"😂

Beautiful Sir Galway.

It's as beautiful as what heaven must be like with birds flying softly.
So beautiful it almost hurts.
And it does!
Love this version most. The feeling of pushing forward by the music at 1:08 can only be found in this version.
You will NEVER hear the flute played better by ANYONE; this is Galway at his best!
This is so beautiful I can't even put into words!
listen to it with your eyes closed. A completely different experience! sooooo good
His playing inspire me to achieve perfection.......or at least become better
+Juan Blankevoort tell me about it! makes me want to stop procrastinating for ever and get on with mastering something....
God, That's awesome. He's my idol anymore.
I love this movement evne more than the first. What a tender, revelatory performance. Thanks so much for this video.
Quelle grâce et quelle délicatesse ! Merci James, c'est un vrai régal !

Meraviglioso, colori perfetti e poesia nell'interpretazione!
...from 3:20 on you have Galway at his best...the sound is absolutely sublime at 3:52 and on...this is the greatest flute player who has walked this planet...a gift from God...and may God bless him for what is now a lifetime of amazing music.
Galways is, quite simply, the best!
Omg. Absolutely BRILLIANT. I so love his performance of this with orchestra.
That tone in the low register from 1:20 on is just ravishing! Someone commented that his tone is " bird-like". I think he heard the penny whistle as a child and that influenced his sound.
how could anybody possibly dislike this?!
who can dislike it it's so rich and awsome I like it
You are absolutely amazing! Thank you for moving me so!
That gold flute sounds bitchin
+Kandi Klover (Fursuiter Furry) trust you to use such colourful language ;) HA

This piece is so beautiful!! I played it a few years back and I loved it!!
When I listen to other Flutes solo i usually just exit it out but this is so amazing..!
+Christyyyzzzz oh interesting why'd you exit out? just get broed?
Absolutely beautiful.
Oh my god this song is EXTREMEMLY hard..... for me.......... James Galway is so awesome!~
Imagine his mom in the back yelling GO JAMES!!!!
Okay, this is one I've worked on for like two years...one day I hope to perform it. Sir James Galway is the best!
When I die, and if I hear this music, I will know that somehow I made it into Heaven.
Simply amazing

I wonder if the beard affects his technique.

Aragorn Stellar to Godlike quality

I play on the muramatsu EX and to be very honest, i think I’ll be using that for a long time instead of getting a gold one
They do resonate better.
Wow this is so beautiful i could fall asleep to it. His sound is perfect. Mine is nearly like his.
Amazing sound
sublime tout simplement... :')
The resonance of my empty garage gives me that colorful sound. Believe me... and with a Yamaha 225 S II. I have a very good bass tones.
perfection
THE BEST IN THE WORLD
Bravo piano!!!!!
amazinggg
makes sense really, thanks.
my music teacher told me to look him up on TH-cam and I did and he is great I love his song bumble bee
no lie!
thats unique to him and is what makes him good
amazing

ahh! Heavenly!!!
Emocionante..
Toca demais!!
finally i found you ♥️
This is so flawless it makes me angry.
i saw him in the st. louis orchestra!
Flute is the only instrument that god would listen to.
I wish. But nah what about violin, piano, oboe, or French horn
The Cheater Así es !
Very dognatic, don't you think?..what about all other instruments?
Muhteşem bişey 😍😍😍
Wow
ムーケのこの曲を聴くとなぜか風の谷のナウシカを思い出すのはなぜだろう。
年間何100回と日本中で演奏されればすばらしい時代が来ると思う。
こんないい曲があるとお友達にご紹介してください
your 7th grade flute exam?!?!?!?! holy crap i'm a junior and i am just learning it
Btw his name is James Galway :D
really!???? OMG
first of all, *his playing.
second, how am i jealous? i was saying that he how awesome i think he is
James Galway endorsed Nagahara but he plays a Muramatsu 24k Gold flute, and he is loyal to the company.
i'm in grade 11 at school. 7th grade flute is just one of our exam levels here in aus. so the lowest is preliminary then you've got grad 1, 2, 3,4 etc. up to grade 8 then you've got your diploma exams.
@Rexicano
The recordings are sometimes annoying because of his vibrato. But I heard him live tree times. And there he also played with a "normal" vibrato.
(I also played chess once with him :-))
d mais,,,,da pra viajar
เพราะจับใจ
THAT GOD
same
Commovente
the first one was good, i feel like being in a small river or sth. like that...and this makes u so sad...much better one0)
It is most certainly NOT gold-plated silver. In this particular video, he is playing a 24K solid gold Muramatsu with 14K gold mechanism. (He had not yet switched to Nagahara as of this recital).
holy shit.
i play flute and vibrato is very hard to learn. it takes up to 3 years to play with vibrato or to play this fast and this good
You have indeed...especially to get those runs well blanced and in time. What grade level would this be in the US conservatories?? It's Gr VIII over here.
I won the Concerto competition at Shenandoah Conservatory of music playing this piece. One of my absolute favorite tunes! Gotta be in shape to play it!
@ericoschmitt instead of holding it up all the time you can relax the G# finger... I mean, I do it sometimes and is usefull when you're playing on the stage and you're getting a bit tense
I'm impressed he plays that well with his plugs out and I wonder how he got a bronze Flute
It is not a bronze flute. That's a flute made of gold!
OMG HES A MAGIC LEPRECAN WITH INSTEAD A GOLDEN FLUTE!
Thank you for the advice
jazzflutist yeah a solid gold flute I wish I had! haha
His flute is gold.
platinum
Some of his amazing tone comes from his 14K gold flute lol. But yes he truly is magnificent and ill cry when he dies
why do i struggle so much on these 32nd notes
3:15
I feel a terrible neck pain when I see him play in that position ...
I think Jimmy always opens the G# when playing A.
no she/he (sorry idk which one it is) meant that he's so good that nobody ever said that...
hey, he is 70!
Galway logra que la flauta realmente parezca un pajaro en libertad
He makes it seem so easy.. It's so hard for me to just play a high E :)
Now there is an honest fluteplayer.
