The New York Flute Club N E W S L E T T E R November 2000 Welcome, M The New York Flute Club N E W S L E T T E R November 2000 Welcome, M. Langevin! Interview by Jayn Rosenfeld found Robert Langevin in a green room at Avery Fisher Hall. Just finishing a lesson with a visiting Mexican flutist, he was the soul of respect and concen- tration. They were discussing the first flute entrance in Ravel’s Bolero, and Mr. Langevin was stressing the perspective of the whole piece and the impor- tance of a beautiful soft focused sound. What I discovered in this brief peek at his Iteaching was absolutely characteristic of the whole person: he cares most of all about the music, and then the basics of sound, and he is never less than thoughtful, to the point, and kind. Wonderful qualities which I am sure we will hear in his music-making. JAYN ROSENFELD: To start with an public is very conservative. And obvious question: how is New York the Phil does a lot of commis- different from other cities and other sions compared to the two orchestras? commissions a year other ROBERT LANGEVIN: New York is so orchestras will do. And big different. Everything is on such a large projects—for example, this week scale—there don’t seem to be any the entire Midsummer Night’s limits. An organization such as the NY Dream. Things like that are very Philharmonic has a larger budget, more interesting… concerts, a bigger variety of programs, Another advantage [here] is and a lot more modern music. For that there is a subscription example, there’s a Schoenberg Festival program every week, so it’s in the spring. I don’t think many easier to keep the orchestra at a orchestras would do this. In a smaller high playing level. In Pittsburgh, city there are audience problems; the (Cont’d on page 4) In Concert I N T H I S I S S U E Robert Langevin, flute Karl Paulnack, piano Welcome M.

All the help with repertoire Barli Nugent, Second Vice President searches, shop talk about new developments in Jan Vinci, Recording Secretary Michele Smith, Membership Secretary Pinstruments, the shared excitement about a really great Ardith Bondi, Treasurer performance that lifted everyone’s spirit—all this means that one is part of an artistic community, that there are helpers available. Darla Dixon The Paige Brook Memorial Concert was a beautiful and varied tribute to a Katherine Fink Susan Friedlander colleague who was very much a helper. The many remembrances and wonderful Rochelle Itzen performances (by more than a dozen artists!) were a celebration of Paige’s special Svjetlana Kabalin collegiality, which he extended to the organizational front by serving three terms Sue Ann Kahn as president of the New York Flute Club. (His example was followed by several of Gerardo Levy the performers on the program: Harold Jones and Sue Ann Kahn are also both Nancy Toff former presidents.) But in addition to these, my thoughts are now led to two Patricia Zuber colleagues who are contributing enormous amounts of time for the Club. Every Advisory Board fall, as new memberships and renewals are received, there is a regular glut of data Julius Baker entry and bookkeeping to keep it all straight. For the past two years this work has Jeanne Baxtresser been done efficiently and thoroughly—and somewhat invisibly—by Mindy Harold Jones Kaufman and Ardith Bondi. We can all be grateful to them for managing this Eleanor Lawrence Laurence Libin mountain of information! Still of the subject of gratitude, another former president is very much in our Past Presidents thoughts.

I had many of the other recordings in my collection already, but searched for online sources to allow the reader to hear what I heard when writing the book.

In the meantime, I have provided low-level mp3 files of the tracks that are not available or that I have modified in pitch or speed in private listening vaults where they can be heard.
