Musical artist
Emmanuel Pahud
(born 27 January 1970) is a Franco-Swiss
flautist
.
He was born in
Geneva, Switzerland
. His father is of French and Swiss background and his mother is French. The Berlin-based flutist
[1]
is most known for his
baroque
and classical
flute repertoire
.
Pahud was born into a nonmusical family.
[2]
As a young boy living in Italy, Pahud was captivated by the sounds of the flute.
[1]
From the age of four to the age of 22, he was tutored and mentored by flutists such as Francois Binet,
Carlos Bruneel
and
Aurele Nicolet
.
[3]
Classically trained at the
Conservatoire de Paris
, he leapt into the international orchestral and solo music scene when he joined the
Berlin Philharmonic
Orchestra in 1992.
His versatility in music styles over the years has "signalled the arrival of a new master flautist" (
The Guardian
).
[4]
He plays in diverse music genres, whether baroque,
jazz
,
contemporary
,
classical
,
orchestral
, or
chamber music
.
Biography
[
edit

Early life
[
edit
]
Travelling has been a big part of Emmanuel Pahud's life from birth. His father worked for a US company, and the family moved repeatedly during his childhood.
[5]
However, this would only shape Pahud's international outlook for his future.
[2]
Only six weeks after Pahud was born, his parents moved to
Baghdad
for one year. They moved again when he was one to Paris, where Emmanuel's younger brother was born. In 1972, they then moved to
Madrid
for two years, and in 1974, finally settled in Rome for four years. The Swiss-French Binet family, whose four children played musical instruments, lived in the same apartment building in Rome. The father (Francois) was a flautist who studied in
Zurich
and Paris but stopped performing in later years. At the age of four, Pahud first heard the flute. As the eldest son Philippe played
Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 1
,
[5]
it set the course to a remarkable chapter of Pahud's life.
[1]
He recalls:
I could hear the
flute
, the violin, the cello, the piano. I don't know why I chose the flute but maybe it was because the eldest son was playing it, so he was the one playing at the best level at that time ? or because the father was also a flute player, so there was a kind of authority there. Anyhow, I said to my parents, "I want to play the flute, I want to play the
Mozart
concerto that guy next door is practicing."
[2]
That Christmas, after receiving his first flute, Pahud began his first year of lessons with Philippe (who was only 15 years old) and the next three years with Phillipe's father, Francois.
[6]
In 1978, at the age of eight, the Pahud family moved to
Brussels
, Belgium. Emmanuel then began studying at the
Music Academy of
Uccle
in Southern Brussels.
[7]
There he studied with Michel Moinil from 1979 to 1985.
[7]
As he became more determined and focused on playing the flute at a higher level, Pahud began to study from 1984 to 1987
[7]
with Carlos Bruneel, the then and current principal flautist of the
Theatre Royal de la Monnaie
opera house in Brussels. In 1985, Pahud won the National Competition of Belgium (
le concours National de Belgique
)
[8]
and in the same year, he played his first concert with the
National Orchestra of Belgium
, performing the piece that inspired him 11 years earlier: Mozart Concerto K.313 in G Major.
[8]
Pahud remained in Brussels until receiving his A-Level at the age of 17 and went off to finish his schooling in Paris. With the strong support of his family, he also received lessons with other of Europe's finest players, including
Peter-Lukas Graf
in
Basel
.
[3]
[7]
Studies and early accomplishments
[
edit
]
Pahud attended the
Conservatoire de Paris
(
Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique de Paris
) in France, studying with
Michel Debost
, Alain Marion, Pierre Artaud, and
Christian Larde
. Whilst studying, he won two major competitions, one in
Duino
1988 and the other in
Kobe
[9]
in 1989. In 1988, Emmanuel also won the 2nd Prize at the International Scheveningen Music Competition in
Scheveningen
, Netherlands.
[6]
[7]
Winning these competitions put Pahud in the forefront to become principal flautist in the Basel Radio Symphony, under the direction of
Nello Santi
which he obtained the position in 1989 whilst finishing his studies in Paris. He resigned from the orchestra in 1992.
[7]
Pahud also held the principal flautist position at the
Munich Philharmonic
[3]
under
Sergiu Celibidache
.
Pahud graduated at the age of 20 from the Conservatoire in 1990, obtaining the First Prize (Premier Prix). He then continued to advance his studies for the next two years in style and interpretation with one of France's greatest flautists, Swiss-born
Aurele Nicolet
, who turned out to be his neighbour.
[6]
[10]
In 1992, Nicolet prepared Pahud in an extensive 10-day rehearsal for both the
Geneva International Music Competition
, or le Concours International de Geneve in September of that year and the audition for principal flautist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO) in October.
[6]
He attributes achieving both the first prize at le Concours International de Geneve and being appointed for the position at the age of 22 by BPO's conductor,
Claudio Abbado
,
[3]
to his experience with Nicolet.
[6]
Career
[
edit
]
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra
[
edit
]
Being appointed as principal flutist at the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra (BPO)
[11]
signalled Pahud's entrance into the international spotlight. He entered the orchestra during its rejuvenation period as the post-war generation of players began to retire.
[6]
Over 40 per cent, including Pahud's position was up for audition, or on trial. His predecessor was
Karlheinz Zoller
(1960?69, 1976?93).
[6]
Apart from Pahud, other previous international flutists held the same principal flutist position such as Aurele Nicolet (1950?59)
[12]
and
Sir James Galway
(1969?75).
[3]
Pahud wrote of his experience playing with the orchestra:
There was a way of
phrasing
and wave that goes throughout the orchestra, coming from the bass and shaping the phrase with amazing beauty and intensity.
[6]
The dynamic range of the orchestra was phenomenal. The art of playing with the Berlin Phil is very different compared to other Orchestras, where we work as equals with our individual voice.
[1]
Pahud at 22 was the youngest player in the Berlin Philharmonic, a position to which he returned in 2002 under
Sir Simon Rattle
after taking an 18-month
sabbatical
in 2000
[4]
in order to teach the Virtuosity Class at the
Conservatoire de Musique de Geneve
for one year and to perform in concerts worldwide. He was surprised on how emotional it was to leave the BPO. He recalls his emotions beginning a couple of hours before playing his last concert and only leaving him once he rejoined BPO in 2002.
[2]
The versatility and authority of current conductor Sir Simon Rattle,
[13]
says Pahud, gives the orchestra a unique working partnership and a capacity to be more adventurous in its exploration of repertoire.
[13]
He also sees Rattle as an intellect; "he knows the orchestra and he achieves what he wants by taking into account the
vision
of the musicians.
[8]
In addition, Pahud also observed that whilst the former conductor
Herbert von Karajan
"produced a big string sound with a great legato. The
Rattle sound
is a very transparent and constructed sound, with much more articulation to achieve definition in the sound." In baroque and classical music, this represents the influence of period performance.
[13]
The Berlin Philharmonic these days considers themselves a very individualist and soloistic "large ensemble."
[1]
In 2007, Pahud was voted onto the Media Vorstand (or the Member of the Media Board) of the BPO.
[4]
[10]
He shared the principal flute position with
Mathieu Dufour
until 2022, when Dufour was replaced by
Sebastian Jacot
.
[14]
International appearances
[
edit
]
Pahud's workload has more than tripled since the early days of his international career in 1992. At that time he was doing about 50 concerts a year ? but with the success of his solo career and continued involvement with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, that number has spiralled to around 160:
[2]
90 solo or chamber music and 75 orchestral concerts in an average year ? roughly twice the number of performances that most musicians would consider a heavy work-load.
[15]
Pahud says that it's a balance he has had all his life and what prevents him from being isolated in one
genre
or repertoire of music, or what he calls "a musical corner".
[15]
In 1993, Pahud began accepting international concert performances soon after settling into his position in Berlin. He has appeared as soloist with internationally renowned orchestras in addition to the Berlin Philharmonic: the
Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra
, the
London Symphony Orchestra
, the
Tonhalle-Orchester Zurich
, the
Orchestre de la Suisse Romande
, the
Geneva Camerata
the
Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra
, and the Danish Radio Symphony also known as the
Danish National Symphony Orchestra
.
[3]
He also appears regularly at leading festivals throughout Europe, the United States and the Far East.
[16]
His more famous international concerto appearances and collaborations of the past few seasons (2005?2008) included the Berlin Philharmonic, the
Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
, the
London Philharmonic Orchestra
, the
Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra
, the
Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra
, the
NHK Symphony Orchestra
, the Berliner Barock-Solisten, the
Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra
, the
Orchestre National de Belgique
, the
Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France
and a US tour with the
Barcelona Symphony and Catalonia National Orchestra
(including a
Carnegie Hall
debut).
[16]
Another famous concerto collaboration took place in 2005?2006 with the
Australian Chamber Orchestra
in reviving the Vivaldi Flute Concertos.
[17]
Pahud is also a dedicated chamber musician and has recently made international appearances throughout Europe, North America and Japan in recital with pianists
Eric Le Sage
and
Stephen Kovacevich
as well as in a flute and
string quartet
formation with
Christoph Poppen
(violin), Hariolf Schichtig (
viola
) and
Jean-Guihen Queyras
(cello)
[16]
with whom he recorded his 1999 record
Mozart Flute Quartets
.
[18]
In 1993, he co-founded
Le festival de l'Emperi
[19]
in
Salon-de-Provence
, France, along with his regular chamber music partners pianist Eric Le Sage (close friend and confidant) and
Paul Meyer
.
[20]
In a French interview, Pahud describes the success of the festival as a project "filled with enthusiasm and fun"
[8]
where the public has "recognised our work, our fellow artists, musicians and actors and have the desire to come back regularly."
[8]
He also describes the festival as a "musical laboratory" which avoids the programming of works that the public are used to hearing in concert halls. It is about "daring to combine performers, works (music), create new collaborations and by taking risks.
[8]
Pahud has made several recordings and performed internationally with pianist Eric Le Sage throughout his career.
[18]
In 2008 he performed for the first time at the
Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival
, where he played in the world premier of
Elliott Carter
's Flute Concerto, conducted by
Daniel Barenboim
. He returned to the Festival on 2009 to play in a series of concerts.
Musical styles and recordings
[
edit
]
Pahud describes his versatility over the years in music, as transforming himself into a chameleon who tries to match the colour of the music, or the idea he has of it, to what the composer had in mind. But his discography and career have also been built on encounters?both professionally and in human relationships.
[21]
He expresses in playing like a chameleon, "I try to change style, colour and
phrasing
, the way I breathe and articulate to suit the piece I am playing. I do not represent any particular national style."
[13]
Pahud seems himself as a performer/actor rather than a composer/creator.
[13]
For the Dalbavie Record (2008) Pahud dedicated himself to commissioning new works and to new flute concertos, performing them for the first time on stage. Three composers were selected:
Marc-Andre Dalbavie
(French),
Michael Jarrell
(Swiss), and
Matthias Pintscher
(German) reflecting Pahud as a French and Swiss citizen living in Germany for over 15 years.
[22]
Whilst working with German Composer, Matthias Pintscher, Pahud sought to explore a new level and style of playing the flute. He recalls:
We spent some time talking about the effects and about the special way of using the instrument. The most interesting thing is how you interconnect these various effects [from an instrument] that is one of the oldest on earth. Whether you blow on it, in it, or you use it as a trumpet or a recorder, you can have a lot of different sounds on such an instrument. But that's nothing new about it, the new thing is how you can
combine
them and how you can get them to
interconnect
so that it becomes one musical statement, one phrase.
[22]
In March 2008 Pahud performed the world premiere of another work commissioned by Frank Michael Beyer, who composed
Meridian
, a Concerto for Flute & String Ensemble.
[23]
Other world premieres include music composed by
Elliott Carter
: Concerto for Flute & Ensemble, which Pahud premiered in September 2008 in Jerusalem.
[24]
It was joint commissioned by the BPO, Jerusalem International Chamber Music Festival and Boston Symphony Orchestra.
[25]
Pahud will world premiere the Flute Concerto by
Luca Lombardi
in 2010, commissioned by the
Kansas City Symphony
.
[26]
Though he is an enthusiastic consumer and commissioner of new music, Pahud sounds most excited when relishing the old repertoire. "Mastery of an instrument helps you to sense new barriers. This is where you keep music moving,"
[3]
and he acknowledges his various experiences with newer flute compositions as benefiting the way he performs his traditional repertoire.
[22]
Pahud sees the future of interpretation (of music) will always be a blend of "tradition and novelty."
[7]
But to him, this concept is not a novelty in itself. Many composers have evolved from traditions such as
Bach
for
Fortepiano
and
Beethoven
for the
Hammerklavier
.
[7]
Pahud sees the term "tradition" as often being used to disguise the past, a lack of evolution or in denial of progress. But to him, the meaning of tradition is something
evolving
.
[7]
He adds, "Artists such as
Wilhelm Furtwangler
, Herbert von Karajan, Claudio Abbado and Simon Rattle (conductors of BPO) were or are in line with tradition and make it evolve. In complete unconsciousness they feed from the past to define the future. That is one of the secrets of these great artists."
[7]
In most interviews, Pahud describes music/musical styles in terms of "
phrasing
" or a
Phrase
. In musical terms, this refers to "a musical unit, often a component of a melody. The phrase may be regarded as a dependent division of music, such as a single line of poetry; it does not have a sense of completion in itself. Usually two or more phrases balance each other."
[27]
It is like a grammatical construction with words to stress.
Musical phrasing
is also expressed in terms of how the music is executed. In terms of style of the Dalbavie concerto itself, Pahud reflects how the flute finds a resonance within the orchestra whilst maintaining its virtuosic, colourful and sensual
phrasing
.
[22]
In interpreting the poetic style of Jarrell, where the imagination of both the composer and of the audience are "immensely present," Pahud describes, "This is something to me I like a lot in music is exactly what you cannot express with words but that it's all there in the essence of the music."
[22]
On reflecting the style of the famous flutist
Jean-Pierre Rampal
, "[Rampal] brought something new and unusual in terms of sound, class and grandeur of the expressive aspect of the flute. He was able to perform admirable phrases that never seemed to end, or how the breathing faded into the musical flow; and his ability to make the sound of the flute seem to extend endlessly, infinitely."
[7]
Pahud's debut into the world of jazz came through meeting and collaborating with jazz pianist
Jacky Terrasson
. He admires and derives inspiration from jazz flutists such as
James Newton
,
James Moody
,
Herbie Mann
, and
Jeremy Steig
.
[28]
He has explored jazz further through performing big band music with friends and colleagues from the Berlin Philharmonic and local jazz musicians. Pahud's collaboration with Jacky Terrasson resulted in a duo CD titled
"Into the Blue,"
with performances including original takes on
Bolero
,
Apres un Reve
, and the
Bolling Suite
among others. Other personnel on the project included
Sean Smith
(bass) and
Ali Jackson
(drums).
[29]
Other examples of his vast interests in innovative musical genres include so-called "one-time projects" (as Pahud calls them); most recently in 2006, it included a collaboration project with the NHK Symphony Orchestra of a recorded original soundtrack for the NHK Taiga series
Komyo ga Tsuji
(Jp: 功名が?).
[1]
For the many that come to see Pahud perform, either jazz or classical, it is not only about entertaining. Pahud reflects on his audiences being able to learn about music at his performances; it is about reacting at different levels and ranges of emotions. To Pahud, it is about interacting, connecting and enabling the audience to think about what is happening as the music is being played. He wants to open opportunities in developing curiosity to discover more about music as a way of
giving back
to the audience.
[6]
In 1996 he signed an exclusive contract with EMI Classics, the only flutist in the world to have a solo recording contract with a major record company. Pahud promises to be one of the most significant contributors to the catalogue of recorded flute music today.
[17]
[30]
Nowadays much of his time is taken up with recording. He extended his contract with EMI for a further six years.
[2]
Recording adds a welcome diversity to Pahud's schedule:
I like to work for the mic ? it brings a certain close-up on your playing. You have to take care of lots of things that you do not necessarily have to take care of when you are performing in a live concert hall. You don't have the emotional or the visual support, and you have to be exciting nevertheless. So at the same time you have to take greater care of the detail and bring a greater intensity to the music.
[2]
Pahud has recorded and/or collaborated a total of 24 discs for EMI.
[18]
Instrument
[
edit
]
Pahud's first flute was a silver-plated
Yamaha
. His parents later bought him two
Muramatsu Flutes
, one half hand-made and the other fully hand-made.
[6]
Pahud previously played on a 14-karat golden flute which he bought from
Brannen Brothers
in
Boston
, Massachusetts, in 1989
[13]
with money he won from competitions.
[6]
Two weeks later he bought a head joint (the part into which the player blows) from
Dana Sheridan
, another Boston flute manufacturer.
[13]
Pahud chose the Brannen flute body because it is one of the only flute makers that produce a decent Cooper scale,
[6]
based on the scales developed by
Albert Cooper
. He describes his instrument:
This is the most flexible instrument I have tried so far. It enables me to transpose into music what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling. But, although the instrument is important, the player is the most important. All the work must be done before the mouth even makes contact with the instrument. It all happens by the way you hold your muscles, control your lungs, use the different cavities in the head and the upper body to let the sound resonate more or less.
[13]
Pahud now plays a solid 14-karat Haynes flute with a pinless mechanism, having previously played a solid 14-karat Brannen-Cooper flute with a Sheridan head joint from 1989 to 2012.
[31]
Personal life
[

Pahud has two sons, Gregoire and Tristan, from a former marriage.
