The solo flutist is likely the late Karlheinz Zöller, another legendary BPO wind player who was succeeded by James Galway, but returned a few years later after Galway clashed with Karajan and left in a huff, and finally retired in 1993.
The contrast between Zöller and Galway couldn't be greater, the one a pure orchestral player, the other born to be a soloist.
