Short Biography
Emmanuel Pahud was appointed Principal Flute of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra at the age of 22 and has since appeared as soloist with the world’s leading orchestras including the Berlin Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and NHK Symphony and with renowned conductors such as Abbado, Rattle and Rostropovich. A dedicated chamber musician, Emmanuel Pahud has recently toured Europe, North America and Japan in recital with pianists Eric Le Sage, Yefim Bronfman and Hélène Grimaud and was chosen as "Artiste Étoile" for the 2006 Lucerne Festival. Emmanuel Pahud’s prizes include eight out of the twelve special prizes at the Concours de Genève in 1992, the Soloists Prize in the World-wide French-speaking Community Radio Awards, and the European Council's Juventus Prize. He is also a laureate of the Yehudi Menuhin Foundation and of the International Tribune for Musicians of UNESCO. Emmanuel Pahud's discography has earned him many awards, including several TV-Victoires de la Musique, Diapason d'Or, Radio France's "Recording of the Year" and the "Record Geijutsu" award from the Japanese record industry. He is an exclusive EMI recording artist and his most recent releases include the Franck, Widor and R. Strauss sonatas with Eric Le Sage and Vivaldi concertos with the Australian Chamber Orchestra. One of his last releases was eagerly anticipated for spring 2007 and included sonatas by Brahms and Reinecke with Yefim Bronfmann. His recording of Carl Nielsen's flute concerto for EMI classics was recently nominated for two Grammys and awarded with the German Record Critics' Award. 2007/2008 If you wish to revise this biography, please contact Mark Stephan Buhl Artists Management.
