3. James Galway with the Berlin Philharmonic
Galway auditioned for the Berlin Philharmonic in 1969 under the legendary Herbert von Karajan and, much to his surprise, landed the top job in the world for any flautist - as the orchestra's principal flute. Six years later, much to everyone else's surprise, the 35-year old Galway departed to pursue a career as a soloist. Photo: AP
