Award-winning, Swiss-French flautist Emmanuel Pahud began his music studies at the age of six in Rome with Francois Binet. His family saw that he received lessons with some of Europe's finest players, including Michel Moinil and Carlos Bruneel in Brussels, and Peter-Lukas Graf in Basle. He attended the Paris Conservatory, studying with Michel Debost, Alain Marion, Pierre Artaud, and Christian Larde. Even before graduating, he won international music competitions in Duino in 1988 and Kobe in 1989, and was principal flute with the Basle Radio Symphony and Munich Philharmonic. After his 1990 graduation, he continued to advance his studies in style and interpretation with one of France's greatest flautists, Aurèle Nicolet. In 1992, Music Director Claudio Abbado invited him to become principal flautist of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the same position from which James Galway leapt to international fame. He began accepting international concert performances soon after settling into his position in Berlin. More awards followed, including the Geneva International Music Competition and the European Council's Juventus Prize.His engagements as a concerto soloist, at chamber music festivals, and with his own ensemble Les Vents Français, built to such a point that he resigned his position with the Berlin Philharmonic in late 2000. In the meantime, Pahud had signed with EMI Classics in 1996, beginning a collaboration that greatly expanded the library of recorded flute music. His first EMI disc, released in 1996, was a set of the Mozart Flute Concertos and the Concerto for Flute and Harp. It won the Diapason "CD of the Year" award and the Radio France listeners' poll as favorite recording of the year, among other honors. 2011's Flute Music at Frederick the Great's Court, with Trevor Pinnock, also was an award-winning release. Pianist Eric le Sage has been a long-time collaborator with Pahud, who has also worked with Yefim Bronfman and Hélène Grimaud, among others. He collaborated with Jacky Terrasson on the 2003 album, Into the Blue, jointly released by EMI and Blue Note. In 2009, Pahud was honored with the title Chevalier dans l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.
