Very good footage! Do watch.

Very clean tongueing, nice handposition, very secure but for me too superficial and thus not interesting.Too much like a moto perpetuo. A pity I think. I suggest he'd ( every flutist) read Betty Bang's "Partita in A minor with emphasis on the Allemande" Historical Clues and new discoveries for performance. You can get it from Falls House Press. Best wishes.
