Wow, I’m amazed and I’m a musician. This piece sounds just as beautiful as it would if it were played on a pipe organ. That may be a side effect of the fact that recorders and pipe organ pipes (flue pipes) produce tones in the same way. I can totally imagine myself sitting at the console of a local church’s organ with a few stops out, playing this piece.
In a way, this is more beautiful than a pipe organ. Producing the sound with your breath literally breathes life into the music in a way an organ never can. I've played a lot of organ and recorder in my day and this right here is what i prefer.
I'm amazed at the implied lung power. I used to play bass recorder in a local group and the damn thing near killed me with the amount of air it required. Also, I don't smoke, so I don't have that excuse. Well-played, gang.
Yes, good.. but that dutch style of recorder playing is somewhat strange (some theater?); allways opening mouth after every two seconds, like fish on dry..
The way a recorder player opens their mouth while breathing will also develop in such a way that will not allow moisture to concentrate on the beak or tube, an especially significant problem with warm air entering a cold tube when the passage is so thin. Water usually finds its way downwards towards the wider part of the tube because of gravity but breathing with a small aperture can suck the water back into the beak. So it is not any theatre and it is definitely nothing dutch.

Beautiful but the wooden recorders are very heavy and it’s hard work on the thumbs!
At 00:23 ....
Huh. What about @ 0:23?
The subcontrabass
is there a better recording of this?
Plus it all looks more than a little Freudian, n' est- ce pas?

You have no idea how much air a big recorder consumes, do you?
That is standard technique. It is about breathing.
The way a recorder player opens their mouth while breathing will also develop in such a way that will not allow moisture to concentrate on the beak or tube, an especially significant problem with warm air entering a cold tube when the passage is so thin. Water usually finds its way downwards towards the wider part of the tube because of gravity but breathing with a small aperture can suck the water back into the beak.
