Hello,
These sites are good to bookmark--or just check back here to find them--that's what I'll do now!
A history of the use of vibrato in flute playing, with recorded examples, by John Wion, one of 2007 recipients of the NFA (National Flute Association) Lifetime Achievement Award is posted at his website.
(John's homepage features a snazzy rendition of Godard's Waltz as you read.
Larry Krantz's John Wion's Corner has a list of links to John's articles.)
Marcel Moyse is credited with integrating vibrato style from the operatic singing into flute playing. Some examples of Moyse's playing can be heard at Mr. Kirio Matsuda's website.
It is informative to listen to recordings of flutists (including yourself!) slowed way down to hear the subleties of pitch, dynamic and speed variance. Amazing Slow Downer is a simple-to-use, inexpensive, cross-platform shareware that does the trick.
Enjoy!
Catherine
