As a child in France, when I said Iplayed Recorder, people laughed at me...in our country many people even among french musicians in our Conservatoires (high schools of music), do not still consider Recorders as "noble" instruments. So it is a shame to practice these instruments...so and when I listen to Lucie Horsch end other recorder players from North Europ, I feel very glad and proud. Thanks a lot for your talents and generosity in your playing
Lucie Horsch est excellente et tous les profs de musique devraient faire écouter ses performances aux élèves, et montrer ce dont elle est capable alors même qu'elle est une jeune fille. Voilà qui pourrait impressionner et inspirer nos jeunes.
And yet, so ironically: in your own country, the French Baroque era established a golden time capsule in time of specific recorder techniques etc, techniques and interpretations that we meticulously try to copy today. Go on and enjoy the noble instrument and don't mind what others have to say.
I don´t know how talented you are but perhaps try help change that a little-also what many people don´t know recorders can be very expensive several hundred Euros but you can also get a violin for 100Euro new (not a Strad of course) but loads of people don´t know that
Thanks for your answer and now I do not care what people think in first I prefer listening them after a performance with the band I usually play "I do not know a recorder could sound like that" or" what I this instrument ?" when they discover the Bass recorder. @@CapeTownrecorder
Yes it is true an alto about 300 euros (pearwood baroque Mollenhauer or Moeck) and above 1200 euros in boxwood or more sounding wood, handmade by an instrument factor.
When it comes to the plucked instrument being played, thus not. Single-strung archlute is far from idiomatic, whereas a theorbo should be the instrument for French Continuo chamber music.

I agree - As great as she is, this guy can flat play!! I am amazed at the dedication and time it takes to become expert on such a unique instrument. Glad that there are people in the world with this kind of talent and work ethic.
That ending is simply amazing. She's one of the few people alive who can play recorder on that level, and yet she's still a sweet human being. Don't ever change, Lucie! Well done in every way.
The Spanish theme of Las Folias has inspired so many composers and musicians but never gets old. Love the pairing of these instruments that give the piece such a fluidity and freshness. Bravo!
As a violist da gamba and a recorder player, I can say this is an excellent adaptaion. Lucie effectively interprets Marais' arpeggios and captures the gamba's articulation styles well. Brava!
Lucie Horsch c'est l'énergie, l'aplomb, la maîtrise, la musicalité, cette manière rare de prendre possession de l'espace, cet art de s'accorder à merveille avec les autres instrumentistes, ne pas faire une seule fausse. Bref cette artiste est époustouflante. Extraordinaire. J'en profite pour dire que j'ai trouvé très touchante la video d'il y a 11 ans : tout est déjà là. Chez les artistes de très grand talent, les choses sont déjà en place très jeune.
Do it then!! I spent a couple of days in Urbino (central Italy), two summers ago, and I heard a trio of recorder, baroque violin and harpsichord... I fell in love with recorder and I started to play it (first the soprano, and then also the contralto)
You should! The recorder is a wonderful instrument, and now it is easy to get instruction via TH-cam for just about any instrument you can imagine. I’ve been playing on my plastic Hohner Alto for the past 33 years. I wish I’d focused more on my technique in that time, as I’d be much better! There’s never a better time than now to start, though.
I bought and started learning the alto just 2 weeks ago and though I can’t play much yet I can play simple tunes and it’s brought so much joy into my life!
A seemingly simple instrument, but in the hands of a master musician capable of great emotional and expressive music making. I hope Lucie Horsch will come to the UK at some time, I'd love to hear her live, she would sound great in the Wigmore Hall!
Just found Lucie's latest album while studying. I love it! Puts such a smile on my face hearing this seemingly simple instrument played so masterfully.
Speel dit stuk imiddels al een kleine 35 jaar. Is en blijft erg mooi. Heb het indertijd voor het eerst gehoord op een plaatopname met ... Walter van Hauwe. Hij speelde het zonder de begeleiding. Hetgeen ik zelf menigmaal ook gedaan heb .... Ook dan is het mooi.

The future of ancient music is in VERY good hands with inspired artists like these

Ancient refers to antiquity. This is Baroque music.
@@DCFunBud oh really?
@@barrysmith7710 Oh, yes! Happy to further your education.
@@Stockolmare But did it touch you emotionally? Did you enjoy it?
MAGNIFIQUE
These are two absolutely top class musicians, in every sense.
Such an expressive performance, the way she's able to make that recorder respond with so many different colors is truly amazing
There is something unique to wind instruments, especially the reedless group, where breath itself is the voice...
Sort of...hard to explain!!
@@awaliwu The soul lies in the breath

@@effyleven and exactly what has this to do with any of my comments above?
that's not a simple straight forward recorder. it's bigger and longer and has that section on the end. what type is it?
The accompanist is incredible, too!!
I agree - As great as she is, this guy can flat play!! I am amazed at the dedication and time it takes to become expert on such a unique instrument. Glad that there are people in the world with this kind of talent and work ethic.
That would be Thomas Dunford.
I play the lute(theorbo), but not quite as good indeed!
Such tiny hands!
Which one is the accompanist? (Just kidding but seriously....)
Magistral
Thomas dunford laisse la soliste s expimer et en même temps developpe tout son art et Lucie Horsch est extraordinaire
Bravo bravo ! 👏👏👏👏👏
Madly in luf with this performance! Keep returning back to listen!
I learned to know about him through the movie, loved ever since
That ending is simply amazing. She's one of the few people alive who can play recorder on that level, and yet she's still a sweet human being. Don't ever change, Lucie! Well done in every way.
L ’harmonie s’exprime quel art l un s’exprime et l’autre fusionne
MAN!!! That is one complex piece of music! She is a total Genius! He plays well with her.
The Spanish theme of Las Folias has inspired so many composers and musicians but never gets old. Love the pairing of these instruments that give the piece such a fluidity and freshness. Bravo!
Couldn't agree more, it's a joy from start to finish.
I come back to this masterpiece time to time.....❤❤❤❤
As a violist da gamba and a recorder player, I can say this is an excellent adaptaion. Lucie effectively interprets Marais' arpeggios and captures the gamba's articulation styles well. Brava!
Wow! It's amazing that you play both instruments!
So expressive, so much complicity with the theorbe player. A moment of pure amazing grace and beauty
I am blown away. Phenomenal performance
Wunderbare Zusammenarbeit! Die beiden Musiker sind beide so gut aufeinander abgestimmt. Es ist ein besonderes Vergnügen, zuzuhören und zuzuschauen.
Adoro La Folie d'Espagne e questa versione è meravigliosa. Grazie grazie grazie. Baci dal'Italia. ❤
I wish the video didn't stop so quickly, I would have enjoyed hearing the audience appreciation of this amazing performance.
Agreed
It is almost jazz!!! Nice to hear the playfulness this expresses next to the obviously masterful virtuosity.
Quels talents ! Vous faites rayonner l'Europe !

NO WORDS!!!!!!!!!
Wow! She really has become a master of the instrument.
Brava! And I love her reaction at the end of the piece ... I think she enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed listening to it.
She makes me want to play recorder.
Go for it . Both Aulos and Yamaha plastic recorders are inexpensive, require little care and are capable instruments .
Do it then!!

Un excellent travail de Mme Horsch :-)
Excelentes músicos y hermoso Concierto. Muchas Gracias, desde Uruguay.
Bellissimo il fraseggio tra il flauto e l'arciliuto. Fenomenale!
Niks op the zeggen.... Bedankt, Lucie!!!!!!
Exquisite. And how she breathes-astonishing.
The most wonderful performance for this piece!! Bravo !!!!
This is probably my favorite version of this song
Un seul mot : Superbe !
This is a practical demosntration of beauty. They are both fantastic!
Bon dieu que c'était beau. Merci!
Both are perfect, you are so synchronized! I can listen to this piece again and again without getting bored
never heard such a perfect and virtuoso articulation on a recorder - thanks for sharing!
Lucie is amazing ♥
Virtuosité, mais surtout musicalité et magnifique communication entre les interprètes.
Really can it get any better!🙏🙏🙏

You're the simple one. So tiresome hearing ignorant morons sneer at recorders. Not a simple instrument, not something for children.
@@alexandermackay-smith2364 Please re-read my post, I feel you have got the wrong end of the stick!
I love this performance so much.... it has been one of the most wonderful things of this year.
How music can be so beautiful. Thanks for this piece Lucie and Thomas.

To everybody who leave commentary please share this beauty whith your friends ! It's importatnt that these young musicians and others are recognized
I come back and listen to this again every few weeks, and each time I'm left with my pulse racing. Fantastic energy!
Just found Lucie's latest album while studying. I love it! Puts such a smile on my face hearing this seemingly simple instrument played so masterfully.
Recorder was my first instrument i played it from 6 -14 yrs old. This peace makes me want to practice again. Good job on the baroque fingering.
This was mindblowing!
Een genot om naar te luisteren. Buitengewoon spel van een stuk dat ik goed ken.
Wow... looks effortless to her
Prachtig ! Bedankt❤️👏👏
Lucie bravoa! Irre gut, wie du Blockflöte spielst .Ein Lichtstrahl in der oft lauten Welt.
Outstanding fresh and lively performance. Bravo!
Two masters at work.
So fein und musikalisch 💖💙💙💙💙! Grande virtuosa! Einfach SUPER Duo👏👏👏👏 💖💕💓
WOW! Sublime and sooo moving :) Speechless
wat een talent! fantastisch!
God bless you! ❤❤❤
So wonderful! Makes me proud to be a girl recorder player and I am looking forward to show this amazing performance to my pupils!
When I hear and look at Lucie and Thomas, I believe that God Almighty exists!
amazing performance
Your playing is so soothing that it melts my heart...
Amo a Lucie, además de sentir una gran admiración por ella y su talento es una mujer muy bella😍
I don't speak your language, but I agree with everything you wrote!
Ruby Gray Funny!
Lucie sait vraiment ce qu’elle fait et où elle veut nous amener.
Chapeau, Lucie ! 😎
Heureusement !! 😉
BRAVO!
Really beautiful music, love it
Absolute amazing
Quite sensational performance, bravo
Excellent. Thank you
Delicado, preciso, simplismente belíssimo, toca o coração dos homens❤❤❤

I don’t know i m tearing over this performance
Großartig, dankeschön!
la folie est bien respectée, merci
Amazing
Lucie and Thomas
Bravooooo!!!!!! Que Articulación e interpretación!!!!!!!
Lovely music!
I love both of them so this is an absolute godsend! I love this!
Zeer fantastisch!
Glorious! God bless you!
Lucie is, of course, a brilliant virtuoso, but I would like to mention the superb playing of the lute by Thomas Dunford.
maras and la follia - two of my favorites.
Simply perfect!
Exquisite! Thank you.
Bela interação sonora! "La Folia", tão antiga e passou pelas mãos de tantos compositores, até hoje.
She is so great!
Belíssimo dueto!💛💛💛
Stunning
Extraordinaire duo!
Bravissimi!👏👏❣
