...its like a story with no words
I love the pitch bending. Very baroque.
Bellísima ejecución de esta sonata.
Ambos músicos. Mis parabienes 👏🏻 a ambos y muchas gracias por subir el material.
Desde Chile 🇨🇱, saludos.
Rhjlhu! 😢😅
and great ornaments.... almost flawless. a top notch performance...
So touching. Makes me come back when I was young and His Majesty George the First was the King :-))). Bravi, Indeed.
Recorder-player is full of passion. I like this live: sonata is genious, perfomance is wonderful. Thank you!
Thank you!
This is the antidote to Michala Petri, which is what I was looking for actually. There is so much more to playing these Handel sonata fast movements than belting them out as fast as you possibly can, and I notice that nobody has chosen to hear Ms Petri do that on youtube, as far as I can see. Michala and Rein both bring tears to the eyes, but for very different reasons,
Händel. What a genius
Indeed, outstanding!
Belíssima interpretação!
Your play is very interesting!! I like that very much ( I'm also a flutist)
Simply wonderful, I was searching for this sonate for a long time... finaly here is it! Awesome!!!
Great performance, thanks.
Klasse
FANTASTIC! That was great!
Thanks! I enjoyed that.
*Absolutely incredible!*
love it
Astonishing flute... :'-)
Wonderful playng . Bravi ! 5***** I simply love the Hwv 362 :)
Whether intentional or not, the dropping of pitch at the end of each long note give them a whimpering quality, which I for one am partial to. It's like calligraphy: beauty in imperfection.
Very Nice!
Thanks! I love this Sonata! :))

SUPERB!
Thank you!
@iorixs (2/4) “Whether intentional or not, the dropping of pitch at the end of each long note give them a whimpering quality…it's like calligraphy: beauty in imperfection”. I totally agree with him. Maybe because my grandfather was a very good painter, since as a child I used to “see” the sound flowing from my instrument as if I were seeing an oil painting: the oil colour is never two-dimensional, but it always has a depth adding more life to the picture.
whenever I hear a recorder I can't help but think of ' the fool on the hill '...
Marvellous! 好棒！
Thank you!
Som lindo! Amei.
thank you Sonia!
@iorixs (1/4) Hi! Thanks for your comment!
About choreography, well, I think I understand what you mean. I guess it's a very personal matter.
Speaking especially about playing in live performances, I feel that music is deeply connected with other arts: theatre, choreography, even sculpture and painting.
About ten months ago Gilmaris wrote another very nice comment on my video:
bello bello
Lovely to see this as Handel composed - on a recorder and harpsichord. I wonder how it would of sounded on the old instrument versions as harpsichords might of sounded deeper. Now that would be interesting.
Yes, it's a boxwood 415 alto recorder made by Pietro Sopranzi.
Thanx for your interest! Ciao!
thankyou ^_^
how nice interpretation! i am sure if Händel listened this interpretation, he would be really happy. how can be two allegro's so soft and same time so dynamic. i could dance with them. thank you so much for the musician. when do you visit cologne?
very cool
What is the secret to having such a nice tone with the alto recorder? I play the right notes, but they never sound as pretty as these.
Hi everyone! Here is a more recent video of a Händel's sonata played by me and Davide. I hope you enjoy it.
th-cam.com/video/zJwZcidvdx8/w-d-xo.html&list=PLn4ufhSZDATLHKZBkNZ5FkMO-K2j7NxXk
Good to hear this sonata played well. I'm glad you didn't have a cello/ gamba.
nice!
Everybody who thinks recorders aren't "serious" intruments should see this video.
I agree with the comment from Jake, some notes sound off, I think many recorder players "swell" the notes to order to add expression but this can alter the pitch if overdone.
A flauta doce é um instrumento que adoça a alma.kkkkk
@voiceflutekf hallo Marco! Vielen Dank und das ist sehr lieb von Dir, dass Du so mir persönlich anwortest. Europa Galante und Il Giardino Armonico sind auch meine Favoriten, die Barock musik exellent interpretieren. Halle und Frankfurt sind nicht so sehr weit weg von Köln. Ich bin sehr überrascht wie Du so gut deutsch kannst....schöne Grüße an Herrn Fabio Biondi. Ich mag ihn auch so sehr......
I would like to listen the Passacaglia, I played it with me teache 2 years ago, and it was great.
Dit was werkelijk een waarlijk massacre, arme Corelli!!!!
Du spielst wie ein Gott und hast die schöneste Hände eines Mannes, die ich gesehen habe. Lieber Grüße!
Beautiful sound and expression. Thank you!!! (I'm not a big fan of pitch bending, personally. To me it sounds mistakenly out of tune.)
Notice how similar Handels HWV 362:2 is to JS Bach BWV 911:2
Johann Sebastian composed that in year 1711 and Handel year 1725-26
Perhaps Handel was influenced after listening to Bachs piece.
Anyway, a nice performance of a nice piece by the great Handel.
Roger Lindfors I don't think so! Bach was not a famous composer at the time.
Do you have any resources in English on Baroque ornamentation? This is very beautiful playing; I feel as though the ornaments really add to the character of the piece, so I am interested in learning how to apply them to my own playing.
I've watched quite a few of your videos over the last couple of days. You certainly have excellent technique and beautiful ornamentation. I would just say that your intonation lets you down sometimes (I'm thinking of the larghetto of the G minor sonata, for instance, if I recall correctly). I think that the falling tone of longer notes works better in solo playing... just my opinion. But on the whole lovely imaginative performances full of interesting ideas. Bravo!
@stevefp3 Hi! Thanks for posting! This is an alto recorder built by a very good Italian recorder maker, Pietro Sopranzi. I would suggest you to buy an alto recorder. I like very much the plastic A509B model by Aulos. I always keep mine around at home and I use it whenever I want to play few notes for myself...
Best, Marco
Question i have an alto recorder it's range is from Fa3 to Sol5, isn't it? I thought the recorder most used in this sonatas was the tenor from C3 to D5?
Does anyone know what type of wood his recorder is made out of? :) looks like boxwood to me but im not sure :)
@iorixs i don't think so , you must move for feel the diferents parts of music :) if you want to feel like it is the music you must do it:D, the musician no are a robots men:)^^
Sublime playing, but is that tapping sound I hear?
@iorixs (3/4) I think it is the same with micro dynamics, which I praise for adding much more life to the sound than just playing each note straight can do. E.g.,string players try all time to vary the speed of the bow and its weight on the strings...
Back to choreography. I believe that the relation between moving the body and standing still is the same as the one between playing with a lot of micro dynamics and simply having always a straight tone. That said, though, I want to make clear that
can someone please tell me what's the range of the recorder he's playing? is it up to 3 octaves like the classical flute??
I'm new to this. What type of recorder is that? Soprano or Alto? I'm going to buy one and want to start practising. Any suggestions are welcomed. Please help. Btw, beautiful music and great performance.
great performance.. by the way who is the maker of your recorder.
@bearlauch Danke Bearlauch für deine Worte, die mich so sehr gefreut haben (es tut mir nur leid, daß ich Dir nur jetzt antwortet habe). Zur Zeit kann ich nicht sagen, wann ich nächstes Mal in Köln spielen werde. Ich werde es Dir aber sicher schreiben. In Deutschland werde ich sowieso in Halle bei den Händel-Festspielen mit Europa Galante im Juni spielen, und dann noch nächstes Jahr mit Il Giardino Armonico in Frankfurt und Berlin die Brandeburgische Konzerte spielen. Beste Grüße, Marco
@iorixs (4/4) I am not condemning standing still or having a very straight sound while playing recorder. By the way, standing still IS also choreography and needs also to be used, the very same as being capable of playing very straight notes. Take for example Il Sonno movement from Vivaldi’s “La Notte”...
So iorixs, I know I used your post as an excuse to reply also to a number of other comments before yours.
I warmly thank you all for the opinions that you have wrote down on this page.
Marco
This is a flattement festival
which is the message at the harpsichord?
You are a student of Giovanni Antonini & Marco Brolli right?
They are my most favourite musicians, you are so lucky to learn from them,
btw great performance :)
Are you doing circular breathing?
@evitaevita2003 I totally agree with alchian1981! if you want to play well an instrument it is very difficult, whatever the instrument is! If you really want to play well and make music.
Recorders usually have a range of just over 2 octaves. I don't believe that a recorder with a range of more than 2 and a half octaves exists, so no, it probably is not up to 3 octaves.
5:02 III Adagio
Some notes sounded off. Not unpleasantly so, if anything, it added to the expressiveness of the moment. Was it intentional, a matter of strange harpsichord temperment, or just an accident? Or am I just hearing things? Quite possible.
Its quite common for recorders to sound like that. Don't know exactly why. The pitch does change as you blow harder or softer
@alchian1981 Do you think? I think that each instrument have their dificulties.... but this sonatas was written for recorder :)))
Try play recorder with this quality and after you say that is much easier than flute? is equal!
Der Ton der Blockflöte erinnert mich an japanische Bambusflöte.
D'accordo l'interpretazione,il sentimento,la passione, ma credo che il movimento sia davvero eccessivo. sicuramente avrei apprezzato molto di più questa performance con meno movimento; in ogni caso ho solo da imparare su tutto il resto, complimenti e spero di non aver offeso. spero un giorno di raggiungere la metà di questa bravura in quanto non ho frequentato conservatorio o scuola musicale. bellissima anche la qualità del flauto, sarà che io suono un aulos in plastica e sembra tutto diverso :)
Recorders a range of nearly 3 octave, just need a Do (C) or Fa (f) for a complete third one. (I can played them with my recorder, and you don't belive me you can still look there :
Waarom zoveel afschuwelijke trillers in dit stuk? Why all these horroule thrills in this beautiful piece?
The sound of the recorder reminds me of Japanese bamboo flute.
tende un po a calare o sbaglio?
@MrGipeto66 (1/2) Prendo atto delle sue legittime opinioni, mrgipeto66, sulla mia esecuzione della sonata di Händel, così come dellaltrettanto poco lusinghiero suo giudizio riguardante le qualità musicali dei sedicenti filologi.
?????
@MrGipeto66 (2/2) Non le nascondo ad ogni modo il mio rammarico nel constatare come tanta sicurezza nel giudicare gli altri non sia stata accompagnata da quel minimo di educazione e correttezza che avrebbe potuto indurla quanto meno a firmarsi nonché ad esprimersi in maniera più rispettosa e meno arrogante, in particolare verso tutti coloro che hanno pubblicato le proprie (a mio parere altrettanto legittime) opinioni su questa pagina web...
Ich hasse die aufocctruierte Werbung!!!!!
@flautopa Credo che l'intonazione sia un'effetto
Pietro Sopranzi is a sugestive name
non entro nel merito del commento alla performance, nè delle modalità di comunicazione, nè del gusto di fare classifiche in cui è necessario a tutti i costi trovare un "migliore del mondo" - che, puntualmente, non esiste. mi spiace solo che non ci siano video sensati di Antonio Politano giusto per smentire l'affermazione che il faluto dolce non può modificare l'imboccatura senza alterare l'intonazione. ce ne sono, in compenso alcuni di Frans Brüggen molto istruttivi in materia...
Non sono d’accordo con Alessandro Pasotti quando dice che Marco Scorticati suona stonato e che solo chi possiede un orecchio come il suo può accorgersene; a questo punto non invidio il suo orecchio . Trovo invece Marco un buon flautista, il modo di articolare è ottimo, come gli abbellimenti e la sonorità. Forse si muove un po’ troppo, non a caso è stato allievo di Giovanni Antonini che si muove molto di più ma ognuno ha il proprio carattere. Sono invece d’accordo quando dice che la Petri è una grande flautista.... ma non è l’unica.
@lennic95 beh a mio avviso ,un brutto effetto:-)
è vero che un po di "colonna d'aria" migliore non guasterebbe... ma perchè criticare così ferocemente un prodotto che comunque è buono e altamente apprezzabile, e in modo (da quello che deduco) antipatico?? Bravi Marco Scorticati fe Davide Pozzi
D habitude c est beau Handel ! Sauf la. Quel dommage
+Inielboult 75018 :) j'ai formé mes oreilles un peu entre-temps et je suis d'accord avec vous -
+belpberg1 : )
i think marco scorticati is the best recorder player in the world! just tell me he is not ...... i dare you!
I would like a more straight-forward performance. Pitch bending, excessive ornamentation, and many tenutos are not my cup of tea. The alto recorder soloist is a master of these, however!
Yes, he's fantastic. But I don't like pitch bending either.
Overall good playing but the pitch problem is constant which may have something to do with his breathing technique. He needs some singing Lessons to learn to breathe deeper and more consistently.
Perchè non provare a correggere il mignolo della mano sinistra? che non dovrebbe mai andare cosi giù,e magari anche l'intonazione.
I personally didn't enjoy how it was played.
3rd grade mobbin
The recorder player sways all over, messing up his tone and pitch. No need to be rigid, gotta breathe, but ... c'mon!
+David Snyder look at maurice steeger then you can see someone swaying around :) this man here is ok - I think
Alexander Technique lessons would help for sure.
David Snyder :) for sure - lessons always help :)
+David Snyder
Gotta agree with you there. He needs to focus more on pitch production and less on moving around.
+David Snyder Is he «messing up» his tone? I'd rather say he's giving a soulfully own interpretation. Would you say, for example, Glenn Gould was messing up with Bach? Hahahaha. I just don't agree with you. I hope not to be misunderstood. :)
This is just me: I HATE sentimental (too emotional) way of playing -.-
A Famous Handel sonata. I am not impressed by this performance. Marion Verbruggen does it better.
awfull that vibrato
Mais pourquoi bouge-t-il autant ? Cela ne rajoute rien. Cela fait presque 60 ans que je joue du même instrument et les mêmes sonates qu'ici et bien d'autres morceaux encore et sans "gigoter comme un diable". Il "gigote" tellement que cela gâche parfois son jeu et le son émis, pas toujours juste et clair. Il gigote à tel point que cela en devient ridicule.
