As a child in France, when I said Iplayed Recorder, people laughed at me...in our country many people even among french musicians in our Conservatoires (high schools of music), do not still consider Recorders as "noble" instruments. So it is a shame to practice these instruments...so and when I listen to Lucie Horsch end other recorder players from North Europ, I feel very glad and proud. Thanks a lot for your talents and generosity in your playing
Lucie Horsch est excellente et tous les profs de musique devraient faire écouter ses performances aux élèves, et montrer ce dont elle est capable alors même qu'elle est une jeune fille. Voilà qui pourrait impressionner et inspirer nos jeunes.
And yet, so ironically: in your own country, the French Baroque era established a golden time capsule in time of specific recorder techniques etc, techniques and interpretations that we meticulously try to copy today. Go on and enjoy the noble instrument and don't mind what others have to say.
I don´t know how talented you are but perhaps try help change that a little-also what many people don´t know recorders can be very expensive several hundred Euros but you can also get a violin for 100Euro new (not a Strad of course) but loads of people don´t know that
Thanks for your answer and now I do not care what people think in first I prefer listening them after a performance with the band I usually play "I do not know a recorder could sound like that" or" what I this instrument ?" when they discover the Bass recorder. @@CapeTownrecorder
Yes it is true an alto about 300 euros (pearwood baroque Mollenhauer or Moeck) and above 1200 euros in boxwood or more sounding wood, handmade by an instrument factor.
When it comes to the plucked instrument being played, thus not. Single-strung archlute is far from idiomatic, whereas a theorbo should be the instrument for French Continuo chamber music.
That ending is simply amazing. She's one of the few people alive who can play recorder on that level, and yet she's still a sweet human being. Don't ever change, Lucie! Well done in every way.
I agree - As great as she is, this guy can flat play!! I am amazed at the dedication and time it takes to become expert on such a unique instrument. Glad that there are people in the world with this kind of talent and work ethic.
The Spanish theme of Las Folias has inspired so many composers and musicians but never gets old. Love the pairing of these instruments that give the piece such a fluidity and freshness. Bravo!
As a violist da gamba and a recorder player, I can say this is an excellent adaptaion. Lucie effectively interprets Marais' arpeggios and captures the gamba's articulation styles well. Brava!
@@YozhikvTumane Actually, when hitting high notes the human voice is more like a stringed instrument... vocal chords under much increased tension. www.discoversinging.co.uk/2014/06/10/reaching-high-notes-when-the-voice-is-a-string-instrument/
Just found Lucie's latest album while studying. I love it! Puts such a smile on my face hearing this seemingly simple instrument played so masterfully.
Lucie Horsch c'est l'énergie, l'aplomb, la maîtrise, la musicalité, cette manière rare de prendre possession de l'espace, cet art de s'accorder à merveille avec les autres instrumentistes, ne pas faire une seule fausse. Bref cette artiste est époustouflante. Extraordinaire. J'en profite pour dire que j'ai trouvé très touchante la video d'il y a 11 ans : tout est déjà là. Chez les artistes de très grand talent, les choses sont déjà en place très jeune.
Do it then!! I spent a couple of days in Urbino (central Italy), two summers ago, and I heard a trio of recorder, baroque violin and harpsichord... I fell in love with recorder and I started to play it (first the soprano, and then also the contralto)
You should! The recorder is a wonderful instrument, and now it is easy to get instruction via RUclips for just about any instrument you can imagine. I’ve been playing on my plastic Hohner Alto for the past 33 years. I wish I’d focused more on my technique in that time, as I’d be much better! There’s never a better time than now to start, though.
I bought and started learning the alto just 2 weeks ago and though I can’t play much yet I can play simple tunes and it’s brought so much joy into my life!
A seemingly simple instrument, but in the hands of a master musician capable of great emotional and expressive music making. I hope Lucie Horsch will come to the UK at some time, I'd love to hear her live, she would sound great in the Wigmore Hall!
4:11 - 4:12 no she did NOT break her embouchure to smile at the musical experience...! Well, maybe she did, but well deserved. What an awesome video. This gives hope to all of us in this terrible time when music is suffering. Thank you Lucie and Thomas!! Edited: I better add this prediction: Lucie will re-define recorder playing, and will raise the bar to a new level previously unheard of. She is the future of the Renaissance of Baroque music.
I love Marais' music, I love the theorbo and Thomas Dunford's accompaniment, I love Lucie Horsch's talent, but I definitely prefer this work played on the viola da gamba.

The future of ancient music is in VERY good hands with inspired artists like these

Ancient refers to antiquity. This is Baroque music.
@@DCFunBud oh really?
@@barrysmith7710 Oh, yes! Happy to further your education.
@@Stockolmare But did it touch you emotionally? Did you enjoy it?
These are two absolutely top class musicians, in every sense.
When I hear and look at Lucie and Thomas, I believe that God Almighty exists!

Magistral
Thomas dunford laisse la soliste s expimer et en même temps developpe tout son art et Lucie Horsch est extraordinaire
Bravo bravo ! 👏👏👏👏👏
The accompanist is incredible, too!!
I agree - As great as she is, this guy can flat play!! I am amazed at the dedication and time it takes to become expert on such a unique instrument. Glad that there are people in the world with this kind of talent and work ethic.
That would be Thomas Dunford.
I play the lute(theorbo), but not quite as good indeed!
Such tiny hands!
Which one is the accompanist? (Just kidding but seriously....)
The Spanish theme of Las Folias has inspired so many composers and musicians but never gets old. Love the pairing of these instruments that give the piece such a fluidity and freshness. Bravo!
Couldn't agree more, it's a joy from start to finish.
As a violist da gamba and a recorder player, I can say this is an excellent adaptaion. Lucie effectively interprets Marais' arpeggios and captures the gamba's articulation styles well. Brava!
Wow! It's amazing that you play both instruments!
MAN!!! That is one complex piece of music! She is a total Genius! He plays well with her.
So expressive, so much complicity with the theorbe player. A moment of pure amazing grace and beauty
Such an expressive performance, the way she's able to make that recorder respond with so many different colors is truly amazing
There is something unique to wind instruments, especially the reedless group, where breath itself is the voice...
Sort of...hard to explain!!

@@effyleven and exactly what has this to do with any of my comments above?
that's not a simple straight forward recorder. it's bigger and longer and has that section on the end. what type is it?
I wish the video didn't stop so quickly, I would have enjoyed hearing the audience appreciation of this amazing performance.
Agreed
Brava! And I love her reaction at the end of the piece ... I think she enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed listening to it.
Wunderbare Zusammenarbeit! Die beiden Musiker sind beide so gut aufeinander abgestimmt. Es ist ein besonderes Vergnügen, zuzuhören und zuzuschauen.
I love this performance so much.... it has been one of the most wonderful things of this year.
Both are perfect, you are so synchronized! I can listen to this piece again and again without getting bored
Wow! She really has become a master of the instrument.
Just found Lucie's latest album while studying. I love it! Puts such a smile on my face hearing this seemingly simple instrument played so masterfully.
I come back and listen to this again every few weeks, and each time I'm left with my pulse racing. Fantastic energy!
Exquisite. And how she breathes-astonishing.
Beautiful!!!👏👏👏🌟⭐✨☀️💫💖✨🌟💫🥰🙏👏💌⭐✨💫☀️🌟✨🌹☘️🌷☘️🌷☘️🌷⭐⭐🌹⭐⭐💫🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏

She makes me want to play recorder.
Go for it . Both Aulos and Yamaha plastic recorders are inexpensive, require little care and are capable instruments .
Do it then!!

Recorder was my first instrument i played it from 6 -14 yrs old. This peace makes me want to practice again. Good job on the baroque fingering.
This is a practical demosntration of beauty. They are both fantastic!
How music can be so beautiful. Thanks for this piece Lucie and Thomas.

You're the simple one. So tiresome hearing ignorant morons sneer at recorders. Not a simple instrument, not something for children.
@@alexandermackay-smith2364 Please re-read my post, I feel you have got the wrong end of the stick!
I am blown away. Phenomenal performance
So fein und musikalisch 💖💙💙💙💙! Grande virtuosa! Einfach SUPER Duo👏👏👏👏 💖💕💓
To everybody who leave commentary please share this beauty whith your friends ! It's importatnt that these young musicians and others are recognized
Lucie is amazing ♥
The most wonderful performance for this piece!! Bravo !!!!
This is probably my favorite version of this song
Comme une première fois : magnifique interprétation. Merci et bravo !
Lucie is, of course, a brilliant virtuoso, but I would like to mention the superb playing of the lute by Thomas Dunford.
never heard such a perfect and virtuoso articulation on a recorder - thanks for sharing!
Quels talents ! Vous faites rayonner l'Europe !
Virtuosité, mais surtout musicalité et magnifique communication entre les interprètes.
Bellissimo il fraseggio tra il flauto e l'arciliuto. Fenomenale!
captivating & sublime! thanks to both!
тут всё шикарно, я под впечатлением

Ditto.
Well she may smile! Well may we smile to hear her.
Such a beautiful performance!! I loved it!!
L ’harmonie s’exprime quel art l un s’exprime et l’autre fusionne
God bless you! ❤❤❤
So wonderful! Makes me proud to be a girl recorder player and I am looking forward to show this amazing performance to my pupils!
Un seul mot : Superbe !
I learned to know about him through the movie, loved ever since
It is almost jazz!!! Nice to hear the playfulness this expresses next to the obviously masterful virtuosity.
Outstanding fresh and lively performance. Bravo!
Amo a Lucie, además de sentir una gran admiración por ella y su talento es una mujer muy bella😍
I don't speak your language, but I agree with everything you wrote!
Ruby Gray Funny!
Un excellent travail de Mme Horsch :-)
Your playing is so soothing that it melts my heart...
Een genot om naar te luisteren. Buitengewoon spel van een stuk dat ik goed ken.
Extra! Ça me fait aimer le baroque encore plus
I love both of them so this is an absolute godsend! I love this!
Bela interação sonora! "La Folia", tão antiga e passou pelas mãos de tantos compositores, até hoje.
That triple tounguing! Amazing
Delicado, preciso, simplismente belíssimo, toca o coração dos homens❤❤❤
Quelle plaisir !
Brava ! Bravo ! Bravi ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
maras and la follia - two of my favorites.
Lucie bravoa! Irre gut, wie du Blockflöte spielst .Ein Lichtstrahl in der oft lauten Welt.
