Utterly superb. For an interesting comparison, listen to Leonhardt's performance of keyboard variations on the same theme from the Camphuysen Manuscript, which is also very, very special.
I think I've heard this tune before when listening to a renaissance playlist. Could it be that v. Eyck or Brüggen made an adaptation of an older already existing tune?
It is definitely possible that van Eyck rearranged an older piece, as The Flute's Garden of Delights is a collection of folk songs, dance tunes, church works and Psalms. Dirk Sweelinck, a dutch composer and organist contemporary to van Eyck, had in his repertoire a piece for organ named "Daphne" which is almost identical to van Eyck's version (the theme only). Either they adapted an older piece, or one of them borrowed the idea from the other.
This page has the relevant information: peterboot.nl/Daphne/DaphneSummary.htm TL;DR: The tune was written for an anonymous early-17th Century English ballad, translated to Dutch by Jan Janszoon Starter (~1594-1626) and published in Amsterdam around 1622. Either van Eyck had a special fondness for it or it was quite popular, given how many versions he put in Der Fluyten Lust-Hof.
@@lshin80 The Daphne theme crops up in the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book with variations by Giles Farnaby (NoCXII), which due to circumstances cannot be dated later than 1617. Van Eyck was born c.1590, so the two are absolutely contemporary. Where the tune actually came from is anyone's guess!
The way he sprints up and down the stairs articulating each step is insane I can't even
Diese Musik durchperlt die Seele, so dass sie leicht wird und beglückt aufsteigen kann.
❤ I am relearning to play recorder and this is so inspirational! Such lovely tone, such beautiful music!
The master of masters,,,
Frans Brüggen was probably the best recorder musician over (at least) last century. Great performance of a great performer.
Sure he was and is.
Absolutely my favourite piece by Frans. I hope one day to make a decent job of playing this. If it’s half as good as this I will be pleased.
perfekt !

замечательно!
Took way too long to find someone playing this version! (56) DDIII
The recording seems to clip at 5:04?
Some dirt in the grooves.

Given that a recorder has no low frequencies, you could just put a high pass filter on this rip....
Otherwise great stuff!
