Frans Brüggen remains the immortal master of the recorder and the musical inspiration of an entire generation of amateur and professional musicians ... I was granted the honour of singing Mozart´s Requiem under his baton with the Orchestra of the 18th Century in Perugia, Italy in the summer of 2009, only 5 years before his death in 2014 ... I was mesmerized by the vigorous musicianship of my youth´s idol, even at a time when he was supported by one of his own children while going up and down the conductor´s stand ... May he rest in peace and may his memory and musical heritage last forever!
No outwardness, no superficiality, no show. Just music. Nowadays rare. His capability to play long phrases is exceptional and never tensed. One of the greatest musicians ever.....
@@acyutanandadas1326 playing permanently is against music, at least with regard to the flute and recorder. you have to breathe to play right, because the composer's intention was to play this music on an instrument where you need to breathe but you just have to understand the music.
Love how he puts all into the music. So many recorder players bob and weave about like drunken boxers it makes you seasick to watch them and distracts from the beautiful music. But he enhances the beautiful music.
In my opinion, the best recorder player who has ever lived. Not necessarily just on this recording, but with everything he has played. The recorder was invented for Frans Bruggen.
@@Clanshort As they say if I had a dollar for all the people that had been called the new bruggen I would be a millionaire by now, some of them are even in their sixties (!). All great players, all different individuals. No need to find a new bruggen, just enjoy them for what they are.
I was so very fortunate to have been introduced to Bruggen's playing in some of the little churches in Amsterdam, when I lived there in the seventies. I played his records endlessly, in my tiny bedsitter, especially loving his 'Art of the Recorder'. Bruggen and Gustav Leonhardt playing together, will always represent perfection in music to my mind.
I heard Bruggen play the recorder in Japan about 45 years ago. He was a large man and played wonderfully with his back arched. I have wonderful memories of him.
Just all that it is playing this instrument, tempo in the right place, really virtuous choice of not too fast not too slow. The end of phrases, the articulation, I'll guess all single tonguing, which is the most charming. Thinking this days a lot about Frans and all the icebreakers from his time, Morgan, Bruce Haynes, Harnoncourt.
Letter of Frans to Fred Morgan “…..The fourth flute that I need, rather than a c2 flute, because it has more 8 foot in it which I need for my reconstruction of BWV 169 an 49 …..and BWV 1053 (the E major harpsichord concerto) back into the recorder concerto it once was (the last entirely my speculation). How, all my notes are only on it if I play at 392 in B flat major on a 4th flute as if with a treble, and the 415 strings in D major…”
Thank you - I was wondering which original pieces had been adapted. Wonderful! Do you happen to know if a score was ever made available? (Of course, one would have to own a pretty specialized intstrument...)
I heard Bruggen play this concerto in the early eighties in Boston's Jordan Hall with Tafelmusik orchestra and Jean Lamon. I had a front row seat and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I marvel at his mastery of the instrument; the variety tonal properties he can coax from it, his phrasing and such clarity of articulation! He is also fascinating to watch as a performer. Incidentally I believe this Morgan 3rd flute in a went to Ricardo Kanji. I am so glad to have seen this video. thank you for posting!
We were lucky enough to hear Bruggen and the wonderful Tafelmusik orchestra and Jean Lamon in an old church on Bloor St in Toronto. My sister in law is a recorder fan and insisted I go that night, one I will never forget. 🇨🇦
Bravo bravissimo I had the honour of meeting frans bruggen and playing for him on recoreder the first movement of the C major concerto by vivaldi.he praised my playing highly and gave me some tips.i always held him in the highest esteem and still do.as a recorder player for over 40 years i still emulate his mastery and beauty in performances or just playing chamber music with colleagues.
Un orchestre d'accompagnement très stylé et un soliste que j'admire infiniment puisque c'est par lui que j'ai pu accéder à la pratique instrumentale même infiniment modeste comme fut la mienne ...et merci au festival d'Arras des seventies qui m'ouvrit au monde de la musique ancienne.
Wow, have long been a fan of Frans Bruggen and have only just discovered this. It is wonderul, lively and beautiful. Those who think of classical music as stuffy and conservative should look up the life of Frans Bruggen - he once took part in a demo against the Amsterdam Concertgebouw for its inward, conservative approach to music. And of course he was one of those leading pioneers of period instruments and more authentic performances of baroque and classical styles.
What a lovely instrument for this piece. and what a great find. As a performer, as my teacher, and a human being this man was a continuing influence throughout my life. He lives on and when I listen to this I realize that with so many virtuosi around, none of them have that incredible beauty, intelligence and absolute control of all intentions in sound and interpretation. And a great explanation, Skip!!
La flûte à bec, instrument à ne pas mépriser comme source de résilience pour un très modeste instrumentiste amateur comme moi puisque on peut effleurer le répertoire de JS Bach en partition originale ou en transcription et se réconforter tout seul.C'est Franz Bruggen , chez Telefunken ou Seon , il y a 40 ans maintenant , qui m'a bien sûr inspiré .
Een vreugdevolle fluit voor ons mooi stadsorganist in de morgen die goed begrip voor Bach Buxthehude heeft en zo mooi op het orgel kan spelen en net als Bach een toegangelijk man
I know what Rainer means. It's so nice to see a recorder player playing with quiet dignity - no swaying, no waggling the instrument, no "eating the recorder," Instead, concentration on beautiful sound.
Thank you, Ab, and Skip! I remember a concert of Bruggens in Berkeley, California. I came with some knowledge of his being something of a technical innovator, but was completely enchanted by his realization of the music. This recording recalls that evening.
I like the way he seems like almost a school boy playing the recorder :-) no big movements with his body swinging and his fingers moving only slightly. Just simply standing reading notes and beautiful music flowing out
Virtuose hors pair de la flûte à bec, Franz Brüggen nous donne là l'exemple époustouflant d'une exécution pleine de vie, de fougue de fraîcheur sonore mais aussi de charme discret de profondeur envoûtante (rejoignant ainsi, oh! grâce suprême...le chant naturel des oiseaux... rare ceux qui peuvent atteindre cet ordre naturel!) l'orchestre avec un tel meneur n'a plus qu'à se laisser conduire pour donner le meilleur de lui-même et c'est parfait quand on joue Jean-Sébastien!
I never heard this execution before. Another pure jewel of Frans Bruggen and the 18th Century Orchestra: you can physically perceive they are all enjoying playing together...Is this concerto recorded in any CD?

É muito interessante a técnica de Frans Brüggen. Mesmo em partes mais rápidas o movimento dos dedos dele é suave, não percussivo, de modo que ouvimos as notas musicais de forma limpa, cristalina. Ademais, ele mantém os dedos 1 a 3 da mão esquerda e 1 a 4 da direita quase colados ao instrumento; isso é contra-intuitivo, pois sempre pensamos em mantê-los um pouco afastados, de modo que o "ataque" à notas seja brilhante. Em vez disso, Frans prefere a execução menos impactante, porém mais musical, mais melódica. Outra diferença notável entre a técnica de Frans e as de outros flautistas é que o dedo 0 da mão esquerda (o polegar) é, com freqüência, afastado do instrumento, o que também é contra-intuitivo, já que a tendência natural é mantê-lo junto do corpo da flauta, visando a execução das notas agudas. Por fim devemos a Frans Brüggen a re-significação e revalorização da flauta doce, a qual, apesar de ter sido novamente popularizada no século XX, tem sido rotulada como "instrumento limitado", "para iniciação musical", "de entrada", quando não um mero brinquedo. Há poucos dias ouvi uma musicista (que começou tocando flauta doce) afirmar que, em certo momento, o "sonzinho da flauta doce" não mais a satisfazia e por isso ela mudou para o clarinete. Respeito a escolha dela, mas discordo da forma como ela se referiu ao instrumento em que começou a tocar. Cada instrumento tem a sua tessitura, qualidades, limitações. Depois da morte de Frans temos Sebastian Marq, francês, Ricardo Kanji, brasileiro, que foi discípulo de Brüggen; Kanji também valoriza a música antiga e barroca, procurando executá-las com instrumentos de época (originais ou réplicas).
Merci beaucoup pour votre analyse pertinente, la flûte à bec n'est pas un instrument "limité", il demande beaucoup rigueur et d'investissement dans son étude. Écouter de la flûte à bec c'est faire un merveilleux voyage dans le temps.
C'est une flûte du quatre en 392, donc si on rapporte en 440, ça fait la bémol... Pas le modèle le plus facile à trouver :-) Sebastien MEYER a ça à son catalogue (soprano en la en 415) ; celle qu'utilise Brüggen est de Fred Morgan, excusez du peu.

Right! I saw the circular breathing
it cannot be said that he played "nice", which is now an indicator of good play, but his playing sticks you into the armchair.

It is amazing that he retained the same playing posture throughout his life. His hanging foot never moves and I find that incredible.

beautiful!
Wat een prachtig concert! Ik ben stomverbaasd. Zeldzaam mooi gespeeld op een ongewoon mooie blokfluit. Ik denk dat Bach zijn goedkeuring zou geven.
Just wauw for ever!
Er ist und bleibt der Größte...
Ma senti come lo fa 'cantare' quel flauto ...solo lui

No. I would be interested to support issue of some 18th Century Orchestra concerts never published in CD
Weirdest embouchure ever and puffed cheeks, yet one of the greatest recorder players to have lived.
When I play a singing line (solistic line) I also puff my cheeks. Automatically. I never had a lesson, let alone from Frans. It just works.
Did he make a recording of this piece?
