- Renowned recorder builder and player Adriana Breukink unexpectedly passed away on October 6, 2022. She meant a great deal to the recorder community, and will be dearly missed. A little while back she generously appeared on Team Recorder and spent a day showing me around her workshop and explaining the philosophy behind her instrument building. I looked back through my videos and realised her recorders have been featured her around 25 times! So I made this compilation in tribute to Adri, and the great things she has done for us.

What an extraordinary woman she was. What God-given skill and intuition for the instrument she possessed. She will be deeply missed.
❤️
It is a sad fact that one of the few certainties of life is that it will eventually end for all, rich or poor, famous or obscure. But somehow your wonderful tribute to her takes a bit out of the sting out of losing her, and for that I offer the most profound thanks to you.
👍 Very right! Nicely put! 😉🙂
and if you got the blessed water most probably sooner then later
Her description of the list of considerations she took into account when making your instrument brought me to tears. What an amazing crafter and artist.
I was very sad indeed to learn of Adriana's untimely death. We met a long time ago when we were both exhibiting at the Holland Festival in Utrecht. It may have been her first exhibition. I had only attended one or two. I remember discussing the difficulty of getting started. She always impressed me with her inventivity and the amazing sound that her instruments produced. We shared a common passion for Nepal, and the Himalayan region, which we had both visited.
Thank you for publishing this tribute to Adriana and her life's work. We will miss her smile and enthusiasm.
So sad to hear of her passing. Her contributions will echo in the future forever. What a touching Tribute Sarah. RIP Adriana
So sad to hear. She would have been 59 or 60 by my estimate, which is far too young an age to die. The world has lost a visionary and inventive recorder maker and a wonderful human being.
She is actually the first modern recorder maker whose name I knew as I spotted her interestingly different slide recorder in a Moeck catalogue not long after I started playing, and then she became practically a household name when she made the Traumflöte, the Dream Flute recorders, with Mollenhauer.
Her recorders will live on and continue to breathe beautiful music into the world.
Thank you so much for this beautiful tribute to Adriana. What a huge loss to the recorder world, but she leaves a wonderful legacy.
Her instruments make such a beautiful, unique sound - what a lovely tribute to a great mind
I love my Adriana Breukink dream soprano. It's affordable and has a modern/renaissance fusion vibe. The glittery plastic head is super modern, but the pear bottom has a wide bore like a renaissance recorder.
It cannot be fathemed how great her contribution to the recorder and it's community is. I am really sad that she passed away! That is truelly a great loss! Actually I think she really deserves a documentary to be made about her.
From all the makers I have seen, she was my favorite. Breaks my heart. this. I have my own little tragedies in my life, but still had the dream of being a maker myself, I'm better making things than playing the recorder. This made me cry and at the same time makes me keep dreaming beyond hope. Love you Sara. Love you Adriana, although we never met.
So glad I found you. Great teacher, musician, humorist.. wonderful tribute to Adriana. ( jobmaster piano,guitar flute player...at 80now back to recorders...thanks toy you.. 16:33
Thank you!
I'm just a hobby player but earlier this year I splurged and bought myself a Dream Recorder alto in plum, and since the moment I got it it's been my favorite of all my (small) recorder collection. It's also just so light and so pretty.
I don’t play recorder, but hearing of her passing saddens and enlightens me to the seeming brevity of life as we get older. How fortunate she was to make instruments and be recognized for her craft .!
Thank you, Sarah, for this lovely tribute to Adriana Breukink.👍🎶 Very interesting. What a wonderful lady. A creator, innovator and an empath. I would've loved to meet her... She left way too soon, and must have still had some projects she would've wanted to realise! May she rest in peace, and watch upon all flute players! Blessings. 💝🙏
Adriana Breukink passed into glory on October 6, 2022. She was a Dutch recorder maker from Enschede, Netherlands, who made Renaissance, baroque and modern instruments.
Adriana was introduced to the recorder by an aunt when she was nine years old. She attended the Royal Conservatory of The Hague where she worked with Frans Brüggen and Ricardo Kanji. The great recorder maker Fred Morgan offered classes at the Conservatory, and Adriana worked with him to make a Ganassi recorder. By the time she had completed her solo exam in 1980, she had decided to become an instrument maker.
Adriana became a leader in the development of new recorders. In 1997, she developed a Ganassi-based recorder with a chin-controlled dynamic slide extension for Moeck. In an effort to develop a Renaissance style recorder for use by beginners she developed the Adri's Dream recorder in collaboration with Mollenhauer in 1999. She later expanded this line to include Dream recorders for more advanced players. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
R.I.P. Adriana 😔
Gracias Sr Tsiliac !
Great article! Thanks a lot for sharing it!
Her instruments always had and will continue to have an ethereal sound
May her memory be forever blessed
What a beautiful tribute to such an amazing woman...
Thank you so much for making this tribute to Adriana. I am so sad that her gentle, joyful and enthusiastic energy is gone from this world.
That was beautifully done.
Bit of magic at the end and throughout. 🤟🇦🇺☮️😎👍
What a nice honouring of her! Such a loss.
I'm speechless. I'm so overwhelmed by these sounds
Just getting in doctrined to her amazing projects. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
That's so sad! She seemed so young and full of life in the video you made with her. It's great that you managed to make that video when you did, in spite of the pandemic restrictions. I have my trusty Traumflöte on the desk as I write and it adds so much just to know a little about the person and the story behind these instruments. Thank you for this touching tribute video! Adriana was a great artist and innovator!
I did not know that Adriana Breukink was the one who almost revolutionised how audiences listen and react to recorders by innovating and making changes. Certainly when I started listening to music 60 years ago, the recorder was confined to niche audiences. Now the situation is so different and recorders of all types have carved out their place and all because of musicians like you who have done so much to bring the recorder to the forefront.
This tribute to Adriana is very appropriate - thank you so much for all you are doing.
My very best wishes, Sakuntala Basu India
As someone new to the recorder, I've been learning on an Adri's dream. I watched many of Adriana's videos over the last couple of months, and I have been looking forward to the day when I feel ready to purchase one of her Ganassi Eagle recorders. She was a very talented and intelligent woman who had a lifelong love for her craft. This community suffers a major loss without her.
Wow, I’m sad that I have never heard of her. I am a bassoonist and I have been thinking about getting a recorder, now I know I’ll get one from this amazing maker. Seems she was a true master
Such sad news. After watching your channel for a long time I decided to buy a recorder (my main instrument is the piano) and after researching the internet and watching your channel I decided to buy one made by Breukink: a Mollenhauer Soprano Adri´s Dream Recorder - I did not regret it cause it sounds wonderful even in my amateurish hands.
1'st time I've seen Adriana. I'm impressed, she was really quite pretty 😃
Whattttt???!!! Didn't you just make a video about her Eagle recorders just an year ago???
OMG this feels too soon. It's so much sadder when you make a personal connection, but I feel like I made a personal connection to her vicariously through your vids.
This is unreal. I felt like she had years to go with the recorder.
I cannot deal with this. What a loss!
Beautiful tribute, may she rest in power 😔
Loved the aquarium performance that song reminds me of the add for my local aquarium
Beautiful video - Adriana comes across as a lovely and super-talented person.
Your tribute is another beautiful contribution you have made to the recorder world. I am a very distant member and appreciate all you do to expand my knowledge and appreciation of the instrument and the music.
Oh no! I was just watching her eagle recorder. She was full of love and passion for recorders
I was waiting for you to do a tribute on her. It's beautiful.
That was a beautiful tribute
Thank you 🌷 May Adriana rest in peace 🙏🏼
Lovely woman, and her contribution to music immense.
Thank you Sarah
How very sad. I'm just a folk musician but Adriana greatly influenced my life by inventing the Dream family of recorders. These instruments quickly became my favourites and bring such joy to me that I never go anywhere without one in my bag - I play it while resting on a walk in the hills and often while waiting for a bus. RIP Adriana
Thank you Sarah & thank you Adriana... for everything you did & for everything you do!
So sad, a wonderful tribute to an impactful life. Condolences for your loss
Thank you for the music
Omg, We just heard about Adri. So shocked and saddened. And that it was so sudden and unexpected is very disturbing. Thanks for your beautiful tribute!
Imagine having a recorder adapted for you by such an eminent maker.
A sad loss. I can only hope that some enterprising recorder maker will pick up and further develop her wonderful modern recorders. Thank you Sarah for your sensitive and yet happy tribute to a great recorder maker.
Simply cannot believe such sad things happen. May her heritage be in good hands. Rest in peace Meastra!
So sad... Great flute builder she was!
Lamento mucho la pérdida de Adriana, genial laudera que dedicó su vida a la flauta de pico. Descanse en paz. Gracias por esta recopilación. 🙏🏼
Beautiful, touching tribute.
A nice tribute.
Had a chance to meet her at ORDA one year, a lovely person.
Have one of her soprano dream flutes.
RIP Adriana, your instruments are key to bringing so much joyful music to people.
I hope to one day get to play and own her amazing recorders. These sound like a dream for the modern recorder player and performer.
I was so deeply shocked, when I heard of Adri's sudden death. It is such a great loss for the recorder community. She was not only a brilliant recorder maker, but also a very friendly and warm hearted person. I met her many times at the recorder festival in Stockstadt/ Germany and we always had a small chat together. Many years ago I played the prototypes of her eagle recorders, and it was so fascinating to see, how this wonderful instruments developed in the last years. I am so happy to have seen her recently in Bad Kissingen: although she was very busy with customers, she took the time to talk with me. Every time, when I play my dream recorders I think of her. Dear Adriana, you left us much too early! Thank you so much Sarah, for this video.
Far too early.
I remember that video well, how I liked the sound of her instruments and her gentle ways.
Oh no, what a loss to the recorder world, and the music world in general. I will definitely cherished my Eagle Ganassi recorder even more. Thank you for this lovely tribute.
Such an incredible tribute to such an incredible woman. Thank you Sarah!
I loved her explanations about the making flute. What a sad loss to the recorder world...
Thank you for sharing this tribute! Once again, I feel inspired by your posts, innovation and contributions that are changing the recorder, especially Adriana's contributions. I did not know that she had passed away.What a great loss!
Thank you for your tribute to a brilliant and brave woman.
Very sad. I knew her many years ago. She was a pioneer and helped break the recorder out of its constraints. Her instruments played wonderfully and she was such a lovely presence. Very sad news and she will be greatly missed. Rest in peace Adriana ❤
A sad news. Thank you for your beautiful tribute Sarah.
This is so interesting- i am a jazz sax and flute player with high respect for people like Adriana who give us our sound. I am sorry she is gone and hope that she has trained some other people to continue on her path.
I had no idea you were also a badass vocalist.
Thank you for the beautiful tribute. ❤
Another earthly gem, went tot heaven....
A superb tribute to a superb human being.
Thank you for this lovely tribute.
What a lovely tribute
I just bought my first recorders - recently retired thinking I would learn to play them. Never gave it a thought - where did it come from, who made these? Now to see this video - so interesting, with such beautiful sounds from talented ppl. I may never get like them I'm old, lol - but can really appreciate my little recorders - so saddened to start and learn that one important person behind it all has left this world taking their creativity and talent away.....
Thank you for this tribute.
She was very creative. This is a great loss, and very sad.
Thanks for making this beautiful tribute.
Im new to this inhaler vs exhaler theory and am sad to hear she has passed. Rest In Peace.
Beautiful.
This is a lovely video, Sarah. Very meaningful.
I barely know the virtuosity of this instrument and certainly have not come across Adriana before. However, I am moved by the sound that she created and clearly she is a pure artist. I will keep track and find appropriate moments to apply her/your work to a larger audience. 👏
sad to hear about the passing away of Adriana breukink😥
Beautiful ❤
I just received your CD, very enjoyable. I was not expecting the extra gifts with the signed CD. Thank you, it was a pleasant surprise. Any recommendations of others I can listen to? I am completely new to the recorder as a solo instrument.
Just heard a piece in WOW! Even her scales start at a WOW, and they end two octaves higher, still in the key of WOW! Just kidding, but you got the idea. Thank you!
The flue/recorder duet is as beautiful as any very excellent violinist on a very excellent violin. Why isn’t there more music for recorders?
We lost an angel!! 😔
What a sad news, I bought one of her "Alto Ganassi @415" from her just a few months ago. R.I.P.
🙏
🙏requiescat in pace💔🙏🙏🙏⭐✨☁️🎶
Man i wanted to save up and buy one of her recorders
Sad
God put the thought of eternity in all men... search Him before you die... before your eternity is set...
Yes, we can accomplish great things in this lifetime but eternity matters the most.
Nooooo! So sad 😢.
I really want to play an Eagle recorder someday. What will happen to her design?? 😢😢😢
It is a great thing to be a builder of new instruments. By the way, what's the name of the track from 9:00?
Such a sad loss to the world.
What is the reason, that she died for?
Too bad, she was a brilliant master.
😞
😟😢
Please I want to talk to you
Really sad news.
Thank you for all the content. Sorry for your loss. ☹
