The Inline G Flute Podcast

Inline G return’s to it’s roots this week; hungover with a world-class flutist, sipping on a Spezi and chatting about all the big issues of the flute world. One of my personal best mates, French superstar orchestral musician and soloist Alice Brie was in town, and after a long night of Guinness until 4am, we emerged at 11am for a podcast. Alice chats about everything from her experiences as a child prodigy, studying at the CNSM as a teenager, her orchestral debut at l’Opéra de Paris at just 18, right through to French v German tonguing and the role kindness plays to becoming better musicians. This was a delight of an episode.

After I waxed lyrical on Episode 28 of this podcast about Julien Beaudiment’s latest album, “California Dreamin’”, it was an inevitability that I would coax him on here. He found himself in Sunny Köln whilst on tour with The London Symphony Orchestra recently, and thus here we are. Julien and I chatted about his time in orchestras in The UK, France and The US, as well as his nervousness before concerts, a shared love of apfelschorle and inevitably; The French Flute School. There’s also an incredibly special sneak peak of Julien’s upcoming solo album at the very end of the episode. I can’t stress how lucky you guys are to hear this first; a true Inline G exclusive.

On the 12th April of this year, Vulture magazine published an article entitled “A Hidden Sexual Assault Scandal at the New York Philharmonic.” It details an alleged sexual misconduct case from 2010, and the various related ongoings since then. I am delighted to welcome the author of this landmark piece, Sammy Sussman, on to Inline G to talk about it, the various reactions and the potential implications for the classical music world. Please also be aware that this episode contains descriptions of abuse, which some may find triggering. This was a landmark episode, and I am thrilled that guests of this calibre feel comfortable to tell their story on Inline G.

Coming to you fresh from the Emerald Isle herself, this week’s episode features the the Principal Flute of The National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland (and proud fellow owner of an Irish accent); Catriona Ryan. After a few Instagram DMs, Catriona managed to squeeze me into her exceptionally busy schedule after a rehearsal to sit down together in the National Concerto Hall in Dublin and chat all things flute. From platinum Brannens and the importance of Orchestral Blending to a shared admiration of irish trad players and String, this episode has a wee something for everyone.

Coming straight from the Tonhalle Zürich, this week’s guest is Italian superstar, former Nielsen Competition winner and Karajan Academy graduate; Alberto Navarra. Alberto very kindly took some time out of his busy schedule to sit and chat all about this debut album on Orchid Classics, featuring three monster flute concertos; The Mozart Flute and Harp, Reinecke and Nielsen, all with the Odense Symphony Orchestra. We also chatted a bit about his experiences studying with Jacques Zoon, Emmanuel Pahud, Andrea Oliva etc and his surprising love for System of a Down.

Straight from Zürich, this week's episode features French Mezzo-Soprano (and my best mate) Jade Ghersi; along with her wee hairless cat Thérèse.

I know I say this every week, but this episode was legitimately one of my favourite Inline G episodes. My guest is American flutist, professor, academic AND friend of the podcast; Dr Brianne Little. Brianne came on at my request to chat about one thing; her Doctoral Thesis on the flute concerto “To Notice Such Things” by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and founding member of Deep Purple; Jon Lord. The piece itself is a stunning, cinematic masterpiece and Brianne has been working tirelessly for years to get it the recognition in the flute repertoire it deserves; and now I (and hopefully all of you) will join her in the good fight. This episode also features the first EVER time I’ve had to beep out a swear word on Inline G; a landmark moment.

Sandwiched in between all the flute superstar guests here on Inline G is the Irishman’s Christmas; St Patrick’s Day. So this week, we take a break from the flute intellectualism (and the flute in general) as I sat down with Niall from Sligo to curate a true Irish Person’s St Paddy’s Day playlist. From The Dubliners and Pogues to Westlife and Boyzone, we go through everything that gets Irish people turnt on the big day (including the mythical Irish Lock-in.) Fair enough; it took us a wee while to get to the music. We’re Irish and we had a few pints: sue us x The playlist is here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0l85UE5gPAwQszG5UIY4NJ?si=d3e94c29b5cf4afa If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at; patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcast Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.

Ok, I know, this episode is longer than usual. BUT, I simply couldn’t cut anything out, this conversation was flute gold from start to finish. So please use the chapters if you want to split it up, and DO NOT MISS Alexis’ History of Flutes; yous are being spoiled. I often speak of my Holy Trinity of period flute players, and Alexis Kossenko is a cornerstone of them. Therefore I’m beyond buzzed to having him on to chat everything from The French Flute School, to Alain Marion, Conducting and Academia’s role in performing. I also can’t recommend Alexis’ YouTube channel “Les concerts de Pan” enough; an essential resource for all flutists.

I continue to collect my personal favourite flutists on Inline G this week, with folk music expert, author, recording artist, multi-instrumentalist and all-round icon; Philippe Barnes. Philippe's brand new record, The Clearwater Sessions, with Tom Phelan on piano comes out fittingly on St Patrick's Day (17th March 2024), so we sat down and had a chat about it, and the 18 year journey from the cult album The Madrid Sessions. We also discussed Philippe's varied career in television and recording, as well as his love for Boyz II Men.

Toxic Masculinity has became a buzzword in modern society (and with good reason) so today, I’m here to firstly analyse the term itself, before looking at the relationship it has with abusive behaviour. I then go into some examples from both the Classical Music and Flute Worlds, before ending with some possible antidotes to the toxicity. Warning: This isn’t the usual happy-go-lucky Inline G episode you might be used to. I talk about themes of abuse that some may find upsetting, so if you’re not in the right headspace for that, go check out another episode and I’ll see you next week x If you'd like to support the podcast, you can sign up for just 5 quid a month to be a Patron at; patreon.com/TheInlineGFlutePodcast Inline G will ALWAYS be free of charge, but signing up helps let this podcast reach new heights, if you can afford it.

So sit back with me as I take you through each track, and why this is the new blueprint for great flute albums (excluding 2 minor points.)
