Hartelijk bedankt voor alles, Frans! Frans Brüggen showed me that with a recorder, even with a soprano recorder which is often used as a musical gateway drug for children, you can do much more than learning the basics of musics, e. g. play this Sammartini concert. With his records and concerts, he encouraged me to play the recorder for many years, and still today, I am a recorder fan. Especially this concert, which begins with the same rhythm as the Asclepiadean verse of some of Horace's poems helped me to memorize this antique metre. When I learnt today that he has passed away, Telemann's suite in a minor was my catchy tune for the rest of the day. Sit tibi terra levis!
GracelynMusic as a recorder player who has some mobility issues in the hands/arms I really appreciate Bruggen's slightly slower tempo here. I can follow along as he plays and make notes on my score as hints as to how to play etc. Bruggen sticks almost exactly to the score as written which is also useful as a learning aid. This concerto is beautiful enough without copious ornamentation - love it and one day I will be able to play it well (reasonably well that is!!)
Prachtig, hier word ik stil van. In een tijd dat zelfs muziek niet snel genoeg gespeeld kan worden laat Frans Brüggen horen dat het ook anders kan! Echt genieten . . .
@Barbara Legrand Actually his recorder is self-coloured rather than plaid (like a kilt), but he does play it beautifully. Too bad he passed away yesterday. At least we'll still have recordings like these to remember him.
I agree this stands up well, but i would add that the slower tempo is welcome. There are a lot of recordings on CZcams (all of which I enjoy) where this concerto is played faster and usually at some point - no matter how skilled the player - the notes start to sound 'unclean' almost muddy because it is almost impossible to play such difficult passages at that speed cleanly. The manuscript says Allegro Assai for the 3rd movement which I think means - fast enough! Also, it is easy to lose the beauty of the melody when playing too fast - but all of these comments are open to debate of course.
Brüggen's later recording with Harnoncourt is far superior to this one: lighter, with more dynamic contrast and livelier articulation. This is just too heavy, thick and slow.
@@jasonhurd4379 - I haven't heard that recording but i love this because it is unfussy and the tempo is slower so I can follow it as a learning tool. I don't find it heavy at all - I will check out the recording you mention.
@@honeychurchgipsy6 I hope you enjoy it. It was on an LP of Brüggen playing concerti by Naudot, Telemann, Sammartini and Vivaldi. IMO, the Naudot was the gem of the set.
@@jasonhurd4379 - I've heard the Sammartini - faster and I agree better - still not ridiculously fast and still meticulously played!! I will check the entire album out very soon - thanks for the recommendation - always pleased to find new recorder music - don't think I know Naudot as a composer. One of my current favourite short pieces is the delightful Tambourin by Hasse - played beautifully by Ernesto de Maria here on YT - it just makes me smile whenever I hear it - he does a pretty good job of the Telemman canonic sonatas too.

Not only masterfully played, but also a very fine concerto.
Really well played! Masterpiece , beautiful concert! 🙏
Hier zijn geen woorden voor, wat een rust en wat een klank. Word hier stil van!

I love only wooden flutes (which are rarely heard) and this one is plaid so beautifully..... Thank you***
Beautifully intepreted and masterfully played.
Hermoso concierto lleno de armonía
Excelente interpretación. :)
Frankly, I rather like the relaxed tempo. The trills are exquisite. Hard to criticize a recorderist of his stature!

やはりリコーダーの神様。格調高くてスリリングなブリュッヘンを超える名人は空前絶後!!
awesome!!!!!! 毎日のように聴いてます。
This holds up well, even though it's at 440 and the tempos are slow. The man was a genius.
