French Woodenflute Players (who else to add?)

Irish Flute
1

I thought of adding French woodenflute players’ sites to let the other non French people (but I am not French, neither :slight_smile: ) to discover here (Hope that the musicians will not mind…)

I would like to know the others flutistes, too…

(list non alphabetic order just from my bookmark :wink: )

So Tchie, d’où tu viens? Tu te trouves en France maintenant, mais . . . avant ça?

ha… j’avais oublie de Patrick Molard… mais pour moi, il est joueur de biniou koz… (I may be wrong)

Tiens, j’ai trouve son site!! http://www.patrickmolard.com/

par contre, Michel Pichavant… jamais entendu… please tell me more!

7

ha oui!! Last summer, I was wondering which workshop to go between Veillon and Guillo… http://www.arbedkeltiek.com/saozneg/music/storvan.htm

I just fell in love with musique bretonne 2 years ago, I do not know so much thing… (that is why I would like to know more) :laughing: …and that is why I practice woodenflute…

Patrick Molard is best known as a bagpipe player (many kinds of pipes, not just the biniou koz), but in fact he also plays flute quite well. He plays flute on some of his recordings.

Michel Pichavant is an excellent French player of Irish traditional music on the flute. I forget where he is from, but I believe somewhere in Brittany. I don’t think he has ever recorded an album, I’ve only heard some private tapes.

The Jean-Michel Veillon track on the WFO disc 2 is my favorite among the compilation. I would love to get more flute music from France’s best. Will someone offer up a short list of recomendations from Tchie’s list above? I’m on a budget, and have nothing from these artists in my collection today. So, how about a top 10 list?

Thanks!
Matt

10

I cannot decide TOP10 but these are my favourites:

-Jean-Michel Veillon:
“Beo!” (there is one piece on WFO1 from “Beo!”, I recommend to get it from http://beo.stalig.com/ not because I helped translation in Japanese :wink: but it is the cheapest you may get on the internet)
“Kornog IV”

-Tony Mc CARTHY “Time of Change”
What I know about him is that he is an excellent bouzouki player but he plays the flute, too… I love “The purple pants gang”… Anyway, you may listen to the extracts before you choose…

-Sylvain Barou (I want to get all but I only have some CDs)
CEOL: “The Last Order” (I love also “Vivement Vendredi” and you may find fast-played version of “Clare’s Reel” )
DJAL “Nuits Blanches” (I bought few days ago… quite jazzy one)
-Various artists:
BRO DREGER VIII “Flûte Traversière en Trégor” (for me, “must-have” to find Bretons players but unfortunately, it is out of stock on Stalig… it is in fact very difficult to find…

How about other people who possess the CDs on the list?
