Delightful, and beautifully performed ! Years since I played with my Danish schoolmates in our Blokflute( Recorder) Choir . Such fun...I'll never forget them !
@@informatimago It looks like they are playing voice flutes (not altos) which is basically a tenor recorder with lowest note D - which gives them the same range as a baroque flute. It would make sense because these Boismortier 5-part concertos are originally written for flute...
How beautiful! I stumbled across this group whilst researching woodwind chamber ensembles and I'm so impressed by the richness of each player's tone, the balance, and that wonderful note clarity! You can clearly tell that each player is thoroughly enjoying themself, as well. Well done! You have a new fan (:
And me as well. As a learned tenor recorder player this ensemble is the gold standard. Light years from the players available to me which are unpractiised old amateurs that can't play a simple line correctly or in tune and think they're good!
Exquisite!! Thanks to Ernst Stolz, I was aware of Boismortier, otherwise this noble composer would have remained undeservedly in the shadows along with so many other so-called minor composers.
I have greatly enjoyed seeing/hearing your You Tube videos. It would be fantastic to see one of your performances. I hope you can make an American tour.
I tried playing it on my Alto = 415 and the pitch is correct but their fingerings were different so I guess they are voice flutes as none of them appear to have keys which would indicate tenors.
…to me, anything lower than a tenor, even with multiple players on the big recorders, sounds like people talking in the the foyer while a performance is going on :) …it only works if it is a very isolated well miked live performance…and of course when people make videos, and adjust the balance with recording equipment….I’m not encouraged to take up the larger recorders because of this…I think people are encouraged when playing the large recorders alone because of course then they can hear themselves …I’d say in a recorder quartet you can hear the tenor clearly…the lower recorders even then sound to me like a person humming into the instrument and not really a recorder…at least on quick passages…
Beautifully executed; the trouble with wooden flutes (including the transverse varieties) is their inherent Tendenz to not be able to play perfectly in tune (or as the great Mozart once opin’d to his father ‘the only thing that is more out of tune than a single flute is...two flutes!’)
Right! Looking at the scenary behind the players, and at their dresses, it's presumible that it might be neither too cold nor too hot, the best forecasting for a good tuninig among the instruments
@@taylordiclemente5163 - equal temperament tuning (avoiding the ‘Pythagorean Comma’ by adjusting the 70 or so scale-notes us’d by 18th Century orchestras so that they form c. 70 even semitones’ is not the issue here-it’s the initial tuning to A=430-432hz that Mozart would have recognis’d rather than the heinously Sharp modern A=440 which is the true bugbear in this discussion...clear as mud?
@@donaldgoodell7675 you are mistaken. 432 is just as arbitrary as 440. 432 was introduced in the 1980s in one of the new age "Samuel" books, supposedly written by a spirit and channeled by the author. The book purported it to resonate with the heart chakra, but this is not part of the Hindu or yogic traditions. The idea has since taken off online and been purported to be an "ancient solfeggio scale" practiced by medieval European monks. This is a misunderstanding of music history. There were only local musical standard pitches until the 18th and 19th centuries, and woodwind instruments were made in matching sets. For a history of European pitch standards, read Bruce Haynes' book "The Story of A."
A well-balanced ensemble of five people and the sound of the harpsichord that surrounds it. It was great.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that seldom sene is the best recorder quintet from the moment!
Super!! - Da geht die Sonne auf! - VIELEN DANK !
This is a level of playing I can only listen to and enjoy. I could never replicate the virtuosity of these performers.
Une de mes vidéos préférées réunissant des flûtes à bec , et rendant Boismortier très vivant.
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier serait sans doute enchanté par cette brillante interprétation. Que de talents magnifiques. Merci infiniment.
I've always been a sopranino, soprano, alto man but I'm becoming a born again tenor player after seeing/hearing this
Épatant ! j'adore Boismortier, compositeur originaire de Lorraine trop peu connu en France. Cette interprétation est formidable, bravo !!!!
The final cadence gave me chills!! Executed with such refined taste
Iedere keer geniet ik weer van dit geweldig muzikaal kwintet
Perfect! Thank you!
What a lovely setting for that superb performance! Inspiring in every way.
Quelle musique enchanteresse ! Injustement méconnue...
Fabulous! This wonderful performance is as good as it gets.

That chord at the end!
Recorders never sounded like this when I was at school. Lovely sound here and beautifully played
When you put the price (may be $4000to $5000
School recorders are sopranos, often made of plastic, and cost $10 or $20 at most. These are altos and cost $600 to $6000...

Just remarkable - beautiful by all criteria - I've Subscribed
Maravillosa música, maravillosas intérpretes
Beautiful sound. And of course the smallest one in the group plays the largest instrument..
2:13 took me by suprise, took me for a ride, and took me to another world. Love this piece haha and the ending was cool. Love this ensemble
Wonderful! Loved it

Or a tour to Sweden - if you visit Stockholm, I'd to my best to try and make it to the concert, and tell my friends and students about it!
Incredibly beautiful!
Brilliant
Bedankt Willem!

Bravo! Competition for Händel's Water Music (look ma, no horns!)? Harry
How is there no noise from the surroundings? I wish I understood recording technique better than I understand recorder technique ha ha.
Love that Bass recorder sound, But which bass is it?
It's a renaissance great bass in C by Bob Marvin - thanks Charles!
Just out of curiosity, what happened to movement II. Adagio?
You are all so amazing! Do you offer online lessons by any chance?
If it were not for such beauty that humans can create, my planet would havre incinerated Earth long ago.
Who is the one crazy guy who disliked???
Litz
Even kings and queens have to go to the toilet. The dislikes are from the toilets
So.. not worth to mention a word about it
Are these voice flutes or regular alto recorders?
I tried playing it on my Alto = 415 and the pitch is correct but their fingerings were different so I guess they are voice flutes as none of them appear to have keys which would indicate tenors.
C'est impensable ce qu'on peut faire avec des lèvres !
Can anybody hear the big one?
…to me, anything lower than a tenor, even with multiple players on the big recorders, sounds like people talking in the the foyer while a performance is going on :) …it only works if it is a very isolated well miked live performance…and of course when people make videos, and adjust the balance with recording equipment….I’m not encouraged to take up the larger recorders because of this…I think people are encouraged when playing the large recorders alone because of course then they can hear themselves …I’d say in a recorder quartet you can hear the tenor clearly…the lower recorders even then sound to me like a person humming into the instrument and not really a recorder…at least on quick passages…
