    As a recorder player I always get scoffed at when I tell people what instrument I play because they've only ever heard elementary school kids play it. It's nice to see so many comments appreciating the recorder for once :)

    • @PaulDeCamp
      @PaulDeCamp 4 года назад +69

      Yes, being an accomplished amateur recorder player myself I know what you mean. Though teaching little ones to play in school is often mocked, it should not be. Besides basic musicianship, it also teaches breathing. Most kids won't want to go on playing the recorder, but many will want to go on and sing. The best way to learn phrasing for a singer is to learn recorder. That's why I think it's such a time honored didactic.

    What people in these comments don't realize is that the recorder and first violin player (who would technically be the concertmaster) are not just trying to "show off" with their exaggerated movement. They have no conductor, and there is about a dozen people on stage. and so by exaggerating their movements they act as a guide to the other musicians for the parts they are playing as to stay in time and keep the flow of music together. And the recorder guy finally has his chance to shine, not to mention he's amazing at it. Let the man have some fun!

It only shows that nobody is hearing or seeing the really great masters like Jascha Heifetz, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli or Claudio Arrau.

    He changes the recorder before the largo movement, the first one being aparently of granadilla wood, the second, who knows (maybe resewood). At 8:40 he swaps back to the dark recorder before takling the last quick movement. That intrigues me a lot. If anyone knows the reason for this...

    • @bobbycorns
      @bobbycorns 4 года назад +60

      Luis Bueno second recorder is boxwood- it is arguably a more flexible/ sweeter sound, the grenadilla has much more projection and volume. If he were to play the same instrument all the way through there is also more chance of the recorder clogging up with condensation from the breath. Swapping in the middle gives the Blackwood soprano a chance to rest in between. Both instruments are made by Ernst Meyer

    Everyone is say that it's too fast but they seem to forget that this is in the Baroque era and not the Classical or Romantic era. This piece was most likely set in Allegro, which means to play cheerfully. The soloist is doing so, but he is not rushing, this piece was most likely premiered at this tempo for two reasons: 1. It's Vivaldi. 2. It's the Baroque era. In my opinion, slowed down Allegro pieces sound terrible, It's the same as going 120 kph in the left lane on the Autobahn lol

I appreciate his technique and it's good fun, but in my opinion it's too fast. Vivaldi says allegro in both the first and the third part, definately not presto. Musically wrong; too many notes are being lost to the audiance.

    The first and third movements are played with a lot of energy, great dynamics and verve, even if admittedly a little too fast for my taste. But who's to say how Vivaldi wanted it played? The minute a composer lays down his quill, it's down to the performer to interpret the work. The second movement is beautifully played with magnificent ornamentation.

    Steger's body rhymes along with the melody he plays, enchanting expression of musicality. Listening to Vivaldi's Recorder Concerto one can hear the tempo is typical of the Baroque period. The recorder is a simple wind instrument and the most economical among musical instruments. It is so profound in its simplicity, it is simply a harmonious and delightful musical instrument. A wonderful skilful assemble of violinist , harpsichordist and cellist. Great Rendition!
