Oh, certainly.  He has held the position of principal flutist at the
Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra for several years, which is quite impressive
considering his young age, and he is now leaving the orchestra to devote
more time to his activities as a soloist.

If I am not mistaken, Emmanuel Pahud is Swiss.  His repertoire is quite
large, but listening to the slow movement of the Poulenc sonata by him and
Eric Le Sage already tells a lot about his outstanding talent.

Best wishes,
