I'm really spoiling you lot this week, with reviews of no fewer than five delicious versions of the famous flute solo from Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé! Following on from last week's episode, we go straight into the deep end and talk about my personal top 5 recordings. We'll analyse them on 3 criteria (The Scale, The MoneyMaker Moment and Unique Points) before you get to hear a wee clip from each to make your own minds up.I also briefly talk about the assault scandals in classical music, and give you a handy way to listen, guilt-free (or at least with less guilt), to recordings by problematic musicians.The full titles of the recordings are below, as well as the chapters so you can skip to your favourite one.And as always, if you enjoyed the episode, hit met up on my socials, I'd love to hear from you;Instagram: @garethhouston_fluteFacebook: @GarethHoustonFluteTikTok: @GarethHoustonFluteSlainte,Gareth xChapters0:00 - What's coming up this week2:20 - Jimmy Galway and Pahud, MIA4:06 - A note on problematic musicians7:54 - 5th place, Paul Edmund-Davies13:58 - Edmund-Davies clip14:33 - 4th place, Stefanie Faust19:38 - Faust clip20:16 - 3rd place, Ulla Miilmann26:13 - Miilmann clip26:47 - 2nd place, Juliette Hurel31:12 - Hurel clip31:46 - 1st place, Magali Mosnier39:33 - Mosnier clip40:08 - Merci's and smoochesRecording Number 5:Flute: Paul Edmund-DaviesLondon Symphony Orchestra conducted by Claudio AbaddoAlbum: Ravel: Daphnis et ChloeYear: 1986Recording Number 4:Flute: Stefanie FaustSinfonieorchester Aachen conducted by Kazem AbdullahAlbum: Ravel; Daphis et ChloéYear: 2017Recording Number 3:Flute: Ulla MiilmanThe Danish National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Matthias PintscherVideo on YouTube on Ulla Miilmans account, titled "Flute solo from Daphis et Chloé"Recording Number 2:Flute: Juliette HurelThe Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yannick Nézet-SéguinAlbum: Ravel: Daphis et Chloé et pavane pour une enfante défunteYear: 2015Recording Number 1:Flute: Magali MosnierOrchestre philharmonique de Radio France conducted by Myung-whun ChungAlbum: Ravel: Daphis et ChloéYear: 2005 Hosted on Acast.
