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.
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.

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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
It is NOT NOW like the wonderful painting I admired so much ! Please bring that back too. Musically this one is probably better, but give us a choice, please. Alstublieft. Dank u veel.

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?
MAGNIFIQUE
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....)
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!!
@@awaliwu The soul lies in the breath

@@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?
These are two absolutely top class musicians, in every sense.
Magistral
Thomas dunford laisse la soliste s expimer et en même temps developpe tout son art et Lucie Horsch est extraordinaire
Bravo bravo ! 👏👏👏👏👏
I come back to this masterpiece time to time.....❤❤❤❤
L ’harmonie s’exprime quel art l un s’exprime et l’autre fusionne
I learned to know about him through the movie, loved ever since
Madly in luf with this performance! Keep returning back to listen!
Adoro La Folie d'Espagne e questa versione è meravigliosa. Grazie grazie grazie. Baci dal'Italia. ❤
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!

Couldn't agree more, it's a joy from start to finish.
I wish the video didn't stop so quickly, I would have enjoyed hearing the audience appreciation of this amazing performance.
Agreed
MAN!!! That is one complex piece of music! She is a total Genius! He plays well with her.
NO WORDS!!!!!!!!!
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.
Bon dieu que c'était beau. Merci!
Beautiful!!!👏👏👏🌟⭐✨☀️💫💖✨🌟💫🥰🙏👏💌⭐✨💫☀️🌟✨🌹☘️🌷☘️🌷☘️🌷⭐⭐🌹⭐⭐💫🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏🙏
When I hear and look at Lucie and Thomas, I believe that God Almighty exists!
Wunderbare Zusammenarbeit! Die beiden Musiker sind beide so gut aufeinander abgestimmt. Es ist ein besonderes Vergnügen, zuzuhören und zuzuschauen.
Quels talents ! Vous faites rayonner l'Europe !
It is almost jazz!!! Nice to hear the playfulness this expresses next to the obviously masterful virtuosity.
So expressive, so much complicity with the theorbe player. A moment of pure amazing grace and beauty

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!
Wow! She really has become a master of the instrument.
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.
To everybody who leave commentary please share this beauty whith your friends ! It's importatnt that these young musicians and others are recognized
Excelentes músicos y hermoso Concierto. Muchas Gracias, desde Uruguay.
I am blown away. Phenomenal performance
Niks op the zeggen.... Bedankt, Lucie!!!!!!
This is probably my favorite version of this song
Exquisite. And how she breathes-astonishing.
Un seul mot : Superbe !
Un excellent travail de Mme Horsch :-)
Both are perfect, you are so synchronized! I can listen to this piece again and again without getting bored
captivating & sublime! thanks to both!
тут всё шикарно, я под впечатлением
Virtuosité, mais surtout musicalité et magnifique communication entre les interprètes.
Bellissimo il fraseggio tra il flauto e l'arciliuto. Fenomenale!
Really can it get any better!🙏🙏🙏
I love this performance so much.... it has been one of the most wonderful things of this year.
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!!

Comme une première fois : magnifique interprétation. Merci et bravo !
I come back and listen to this again every few weeks, and each time I'm left with my pulse racing. Fantastic energy!
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 is amazing ♥
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.
The most wonderful performance for this piece!! Bravo !!!!
This is a practical demosntration of beauty. They are both fantastic!
How music can be so beautiful. Thanks for this piece Lucie and Thomas.
Quelle plaisir !
Brava ! Bravo ! Bravi ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
never heard such a perfect and virtuoso articulation on a recorder - thanks for sharing!
Très bien beau duo 👍
Such a beautiful performance!! I loved it!!
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!
That triple tounguing! Amazing
This was mindblowing!
Wow, just wow.
I don’t know i m tearing over this performance
So fein und musikalisch 💖💙💙💙💙! Grande virtuosa! Einfach SUPER Duo👏👏👏👏 💖💕💓
Een genot om naar te luisteren. Buitengewoon spel van een stuk dat ik goed ken.
Lucie sait vraiment ce qu’elle fait et où elle veut nous amener.
Chapeau, Lucie ! 😎
Heureusement !! 😉
Two masters at work.
la folie est bien respectée, merci
Delicado, preciso, simplismente belíssimo, toca o coração dos homens❤❤❤
Outstanding fresh and lively performance. Bravo!
maras and la follia - two of my favorites.
Bela interação sonora! "La Folia", tão antiga e passou pelas mãos de tantos compositores, até hoje.
WOW! Sublime and sooo moving :) Speechless
Lucie bravoa! Irre gut, wie du Blockflöte spielst .Ein Lichtstrahl in der oft lauten Welt.
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!
Excellent. Thank you
Your playing is so soothing that it melts my heart...
wat een talent! fantastisch!
I love both of them so this is an absolute godsend! I love this!
Bravooooo!!!!!! Que Articulación e interpretación!!!!!!!
Lovely music!
Exquisite! Thank you.
Lucie is, of course, a brilliant virtuoso, but I would like to mention the superb playing of the lute by Thomas Dunford.
Quite sensational performance, bravo
amazing performance
Amazing
Lucie and Thomas
Absolute amazing
Really beautiful music, love it
Großartig, dankeschön!
Extraordinaire duo!
Extra! Ça me fait aimer le baroque encore plus
oh my god lucie is amazing ♥
Le génie Français, vive la France et survive la France.
It just happened again......Once she starts to play I have to put everything down and listen to the end.
Glorious! God bless you!
Prachtig ! Bedankt❤️👏👏
It is NOT NOW like the wonderful painting I admired so much ! Please bring that back too. Musically this one is probably better, but give us a choice, please. Alstublieft. Dank u veel.

So lovely. I love las folias
Simply perfect!
She is so great!
Wow... looks effortless to her
