Wow, you're lucky.

thanks now that's all i notice

No where near as communicative as Jasmine. He did not even memorise the music. For concerto performance, this is basic!

@@simonho6536 It's not basic memorizing music. I don't like Choi's interpretation..

Billaudot editions.

da96103 embouchures are different for many flutists. I've known many that play with the corners of their mouth down. It helps with tone.

@@alyy26genesis yeah in fact so many flute professors I've met have said to act like you're frowning.

Jasmine's interpretation will always be my favorite, Denis Bourakov is my 2nd. This was was just all fingers and too much power on some of the mellow parts of the 1st movements.

+ABNFLT you don't know about flute sorry

+Tom Tashakinko 😆

I don't like choi's sound. I prefer this flutist and this interpretation.

@@tomtashakinko6791 Sorry but just because someone else prefers a different rendition of a piece doesnt mean they have no knowledge of the flute. Jasmine had it all, DYNAMIC RANGE, delicacy, wonderful phrasing, power, projection and balance with the orchestra, and wonderful musicianship. This performance was excellent if it were written in FF the entire the way, but it's not. The low notes were just too loud on some of the mellow parts(very high school like). Just fingers to me.

I think they both great no need to compare them. I think Jasmine’s version indeed beautiful play, Karl’s version is powerful and feel life

I don't agree.

Mendelssohn did not approve of performing from memory. Once, when he was performing himself he had forgotten his sheet music and borrowed something else to put on the piano in order that the audience could not see he was performing from memory. Chopin did not like it either.

@@andrewedwards6233, at this point in their careers, the true MASTER doesn't use a NET to save themselves. Joe Magnets

I'm simply pointing out a known fact about Mendelssohn. I think he was a master of his art. No ?@@joemagnets9940

Sorry what? That's the exact written cadenza and he did not deviate far from a normal violin performance.

The version heard here is a very close approximation of the original violin version, which the composer wrote out every single note.

lol, do you know this piece at ALL? He literally just played exactly what was written. It is not an improvised cadenza, Mendelssohn literally wrote every note. Try again.

Andras Adorjan has been the first flutist to play the Popp's version of this masterpiece of Mendelssohn. Everyone should know his fantastic interpretation.

I agree Andras Adorjan is the best.

It's not necessary to memorize the score.

Mendelssohn himself did not approve of performing without the sheet music.
