After two consecutive weeks of guests, we're back to just you and I this week, as we get back to the usual shite-talking you've come to expect. I'll be analysing the three most commercially successful flute players of all time, and how there only ever seems to be space for one flute superstar at a time. From the 1940s to modern day, Jean-Pierre Rampal, Sir James Galway and Emmanuel Pahud have dominated the flute scene. I look at what stood them apart from their contemporaries, as well as what common themes between them shot them to superstardom (despite being artistically very different.)The chapters of the episode are down below if you want to see what's on the menu for today.If you'd like to support the podcast, you can buy me a beer or a Dr Pepper with my PayPal link below (also in my Instagram bio!)Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but small donations of a few euro/pounds/dollars help keep the lights on round here, if you can afford it xwww.paypal.me/garethhouston92And, if you want to chat more, he's all my socials, I'd love to hear from you!TikTok: @GarethHoustonFluteInstagram: @garethhouston_fluteFacebook: @GarethHoustonFluteSmooches xChapters: 0:00 - A catch up with you all6:00 - Inline G Merch 7:11 - Jean-Pierre Rampal15:35 - Rampal Summary 16:42 - Moyse, Nicolet, Baker19:49 - Sir James Galway35:55 - Galway Summary36:45 - Bennett, Baxtresser, Graf38:35 - Emmanuel Pahud48:20 -Pahud Summary49:50 - Choi and Bouriakov51:11 - See yous next week Hosted on Acast.
