In Reply to: I love that comparison. posted by rbolaw on March 26, 2017 at 13:17:51:
the few violin/cello pieces I had were a bitch for me on flute. I don't have the kind of air stream control that a real flute player has. Thing is, they're so beautiful, pure and enjoyable to play.
This reminded me to look for that music - haven't shed it for quite a while. I liked (shudder) playing it on alto/soprano saxophone in a jazz style too, improvising at different spots as the mood struck, then returning to written notes.
I only have the Casals Bach suites and don't really dig his version that much. Too damn stiff and I don't care for his time. To me, a lotta classical soloists have lame rhythmic conceptions.
