Michael Hasel: a portrait

The real challenge of his instrument is less in the fingering technique than in phrasing and breathing and the search for beauty of sound – according to flautist Michael Hasel who is featured in this short film in the series The Berliner Philharmoniker and their Instruments. To help him achieve his musical ideal, he has a wooden flute, made especially for him, which is also presented here.
