Something Special Yet Keeping Equilibrium

This is fascinating insight into one of premier classical virtuosos. Galway is common name of performers who brings flute to recognition like no other except for Jean Pierre Rampal.He reflected on his parents' handling of his talent: "They obviously knew I had done something special but just as obviously did not want me to lose my equilibrium." This well could serve as theme for this autobiography.He never forgot his roots, and constantly did not get swept away by his fame and fortune.Immensely talented and driven, he is intensely honest, and continually recalls moments of poor decisiveness and immaturity. He gives credit to experiences at the time he felt worthless, e.g. Conservatorie in Paris.Appreciated his views of religion although they seem far from mine. The struggle and cost to reach lofty heights of music world are fascinating, and glimpses of Galway's journey are recorded in straight forward, unfrilled fashion here with many personal stories that are entertaining and enlightening to read.Well worth finding and reading for music lovers.
