Pahud's Golden Flute
Emmanuel Pahud plays a flute made from 14-karat gold. Does it sound better than a silver flute? According to a scientific study, even professional flutists couldn't distinguish between the sounds of flutes made from silver, gold, and platinum. But Pahud swears by his special golden flute, and hearing the beauty and expression of his playing, who are we to argue? We'll hear Pahud in a pair of concert performances: with harpsichordist Trevor Pinnock, playing a Bach Flute Sonata in Athens, Georgia. And with the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, playing Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 1.
