Of all segments of humanity, orchestral musicians are perhaps the hardest to impress: years of dealing with inflated egos on the podium generate a deep-seated cynicism. It speaks volumes for Sebastian Bell's mastery of the flute and for his integrity, both as man and musician, that he enjoyed the respect not only of his fellow performers but also of the legions of composers whose work often dauntingly difficult he performed as principal flute of the London Sinfonietta.
