The best fucking comment. LMAO
This is the best comment LOL
Lmao
You'd better have a try at chinese, hadn't you ?
Roy Hsu Made my day 😂
What people in these comments don't realize is that the recorder and first violin player (who would technically be the concertmaster) are not just trying to "show off" with their exaggerated movement. They have no conductor, and there is about a dozen people on stage. and so by exaggerating their movements they act as a guide to the other musicians for the parts they are playing as to stay in time and keep the flow of music together. And the recorder guy finally has his chance to shine, not to mention he's amazing at it. Let the man have some fun!
th-cam.com/video/YMYDsWAy2C0/w-d-xo.html
Really good musicians "play" with their physical expression as well. It's so much more fun to watch than blank faces and no movement.
The harpsichordist seems to be the conductor, as he has the full score instead of just his part.
@ that might have to do with the realization process for basso continuo
That means….their „show off“ has worked with people like you….nobody needs their „exaggerated“ movements…only the public who does not understand anything about music and get impressed „visually“….like with Katja Buniatishvili. It only shows that nobody is hearing or seeing the really great masters like Jascha Heifetz, Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli or Claudio Arrau.
As a recorder player I always get scoffed at when I tell people what instrument I play because they've only ever heard elementary school kids play it. It's nice to see so many comments appreciating the recorder for once :)
Yes, being an accomplished amateur recorder player myself I know what you mean. Though teaching little ones to play in school is often mocked, it should not be. Besides basic musicianship, it also teaches breathing. Most kids won't want to go on playing the recorder, but many will want to go on and sing. The best way to learn phrasing for a singer is to learn recorder. That's why I think it's such a time honored didactic.
I get you :) greetings from a fellow recorder player
That's playback!!😏
I play it as well myself, it is a shame how schools treat a legitimate (and skill-requiring) instrument.
My older brother would always say the recorder is a toy. I'm like, says the guy who thought plucking a guitar string with your nail instead of your finger would change the pitch. People like to act like they know music when in reality
This should be played for every child before being handed their recorder to show it can be more than just a great whistle.
GREAT IDEA!!
I had no idea the recorder could sound so wonderful!!
The quality of the instrument makes it sound better as well
@@albusandrose yes. Nice $60 one instead of the $5 school special. Wood has really good tone but the Yamaha 300 series is still decent and less of a maintenance hassle than wood.
@@kishascape quality doen't mean much in recorder sort
@@albusandrose absolutely!!
Coz my recorder playing doesn’t sound anything like this but I did get mine from a thrift shop!!( seriously)
He definitely got his recorder black belt in elementary school
I got my recorder black belt in 9th grade
Lol yes
I got black belt when I am in fourth grade :/
@@derrychai2655 I only got my belt because I played with the chorus at a concert and my elementary music teacher was there and she gave it to me the next week
This made me laugh really hard.
This guy really took seriously his recorder classes at school when he was a kid
Now he is the GRAND MASTER! he tough recorder master classes to 10 of best young players. I'm still busking in Ottawa.
@@yveslaflute9228 There is $$ in busking too. Plus-takes guts!
And also with his 4+ years of classes in the Conservatory and very possibly yeaaaaars of lessons and master classes too
mdr
Epic observation
The first violinist, the Cellist and the recorder guy are having so much fun
Indeed
I just showed this to my 11 year old that prefers to play he recorder instead of his clarinet. When the recorder came in his jaw dropped and there was joy and excitement in his eyes. "That's a recorder?!" I recently got him recorder sheet music. Maybe he has a future playing recorder too.
Its a really rich and historic instrument!
Im a high school student, who wasnt able to continue with band bc of covid, but ever since last spring ive been learning how to play an alto recorder!
Glad to hear that your son is interested, I've played jazz. Latin, pop on a professional level on recorder and I hope your son excels on this instrument.
th-cam.com/video/YMYDsWAy2C0/w-d-xo.html
Maybe. As long as you can stand the noise till he gets good. This cat is pretty awesome.
Hope this kid is following his dreams whatever they are
It’s so difficult to appreciate the sound of a professional recorder player once you have listened to 50 different intentionally bad recorder covers of songs
LMAO !
i feel attacked
Intentionally??
Lol
lol i understand the pain my friend
The most badass recorder playing I've ever seen.
Zypherus nah dude look up Some Skunkfunk on recorder
Not really. You should listen to Frans Bruggen, Michala Petri, and many other better recorder players.
@@TheBrokenConsort Exactly!
If anyone is a professional recorder playing like me, you will know he’s missing a lot of elements (also not the best stylistic choices) especially under this speed choice. I’m not early a huge fan of Maurice, another one always rushing is Lucie Horsch. If you listen to Bruggen (the start of modern revival period) then you’ll know the difference. Michaela Petri is a classic, another one I really really like is Anna Fusek
if you like it try Sammartini Recorder concerto in F major , :D amazing what a little flute can do. :)

Teacher: "the recorder is a stepping stone to other instruments"
This guy: "that means less competition for me!"
The recorder is not just that, it's also a fully accomplished instrument!
You are sort of right.
Recorder is damn hard to to play this level.
However the repertoire is mainly baroque and renessaince.
@@alhdgysz you can tell that is boroque by the bow hold
@@jimquim1574 I've said: the repertoire of the recorder is mainly baroque and renessaince. The recorder fell out of favour because compared to other instruments (which were developed, revised in that era) it was limited in range and quiet.
@@alhdgysz 11 months later, an add on:
That's not to say it's a bad instrument though, it's still a wonderful instrument today, just maybe 40 hours of practice every day and it'll sound amazing, just as this video demonstrates!
The fact that we've always heard the recorder being played badly is a testament to how much practice it takes to master
I couldn't play it when I was a kid because I just didn't have enough lung power for it to even produce a sound. Also, I remember the school giving us recorders but I don't remember actually doing anything with them. As far as I know it just sat in my wardrobe for years accumulating dust.
Yes, the recorder is a complex instrument to master
Not difficult, just takes a lot more practice than what any school teacher would give students
@@zethcader6478 At advanced level the recorder is like a physics class
@@jacquelinelewis3131 That is true of everything. There is being good and then there is mastery.
I love how the whole string section throws uncomfortable looks to each other, except of the first violinist who happens to be one the very same wavelength as the recorder player.
If I were backing up a soloist playing 20% faster than he can actually manage competently, I’d be making the same faces.
@@nonamepainter *palpable
They probably to this day tell their friends "one time I accompanied a recorder"
Yup I would 100% hate to work with this guy. The ones that think they're "virtuosos" are always the worst to be around
I think you're projecting I dont see anything to indicate they're uncomfortable or any reason for them to be. It's natural the soloist and first violin would be only ones to make theatrical movements and theres no issue so long as they accompany legitimately good musical performance. Bunch of sour grapes honestly, as an amateur woodwind player I'm just in awe of this guy. Music sucks if you cant appreciate other musicians talent and application.
Calum Thatcher agreed. All the hate being thrown out is what’s palpable!
If Maurice Steger is reading this, I wanted him to know: if I had never seen this video, I would not have picked up the recorder. I haven't done anything musical since childhood. I've been enjoying playing immensely.
You should make a video of you playing and send it to him. I’m sure you can find the contact info of him or his contemporaries.
This is the most epic, insane performance I have ever seen of Vivaldi's Recorder Concerto RV 443. The level of mastery needed to play like this just blows my mind.
If you think that was good, if you haven't already, you should hear Lucie Horsch. She is on another level altogether.
@@cariadmusictheory Michala Petri has a really good recording of this piece if you haven't heard it yet.
I just discovered this concert, and I am delighted. Stegers playing of the flute ist wonderful, like a bird that sings. And he does not overshadow the other musicians, and that is really great.
Its not a flute you fucking goon
This is what happens when you follow the 40h/day Ling Ling regiment
I see you came from TwoSet as well lol
TwoSet made me verify this one LOL
@@EliPorter456 :D
haha Twoset
The fact that there are this many people who came here from TwoSet is hilarious
2:41 that power stance tho
Yaaaasssss
I was at the beginning of the video when I read this comment and thought he can't possibly go more power stance than this and than he did.
It's kind of killing me! hah.
Everyone: "You can't look cool playing the recorder"
This guy: "Watch me."
Oh is that what it is? I thought he'd shit himself.
So this is what the recorder sounds like when not played ironically.
That's playes ironically
Hot cross buns comes to mind.
"If you can play it slow, you can play it fast." AND the speed metal power stance sells it completely. I love it.
And he CANT play it that fast. It is not accurate in any sense. It is just fast. Public love speed…..
@@leonardoiglesias2394 Thank you! He only hits about half the notes. Lucie Horsch plays it at a much more tasteful tempo.

That Cello player is so enthusiastic!
You just see at the violinist next to the recorder player 😂😂
The recorder used to be a legitimate classical instrument until the public education system got a hold of it and forever relegated it to nothing more than meme status...
Cameron Wills It still is a classical instrument. It just wasn’t used outside of the baroque era for too many things. The reason why it’s so popular in elementary schools is because it’s relatively easy to play and it encourages students to keep learning music.
take it back. don't give in so easily. reclaim your heritage.
Coz its one of the cheapest musical instruments that can play a few basic songs I suppose
@@Nanananaheyhey1 As far as I was told the breakthrough of the recorder in the 20th century was the invention Bakelite. For the first time it was possible to mass produce a cheap instrument that pretty much every school could afford in decent numbers.
@@Nanananaheyhey1 only way it encourages students is to hit their teachers into head with it, since 99% of them got no clue about the instrument
As a recorder player i can say it's sooooo difficult to have this level : the difficulty is not in the fingers but in the tongue (and the blow) and i think nobody truly get it
This comment 👆👆👆👆👆👍👍👍👍
Yeah I don't play recorder. But you almost don't hear his breath, and also the projection is on point, quiet and intense in the right moments.
Circular breathe for 2 mins is exhausting
Yeah !! think is harder to control perfectly the double tonguin without messing up, because the quantity of notes cover the circular breath. I have been practising moonlight sonata 3rd movement and its a pain trying to double tongue without sounding a litle bit of
Ikr? I've been playing the recorder for 25 years now and I still couldn't do what he does.
Vivaldi himself would be blown away by this performance! Fine (and fun!) ensemble, too! Love it!
Best video ever to show my 4th grader starting recorder.
To all the teachers out there! We showed this to our year 3s today and they loved it! Never forget to remind them what an incredible instrument the recorder is!
I was fortunate to listen to him live in Montreal last fall. I remain impressed with his musciality and skills.
Jedes Mal, wenn ich dieses Video ansehe, erfreue ich mich an der Virtuosität und enormen Spielfreude! Unglaublich, wie diese kleine Flöte die Musik Vivaldis zum Glänzen und Strahlen bringt. Im Largo sind es die grossen Spielbögen, die direkt vom Himmel herab schweben ....einfach zauberhaft.
I scrolled down to look for sacrilegious comments and I wasn't disappointed.
I believe he played it a bit tongue-in-cheek, i.e. with slight irony. Watch his smile at the end of the staccati after the first movement. Flawless or not, he knows what he's doing!
Absolutely right.
True, even after the first movement the audience laughs before applause
Live performances are wonderful to hear because the performers are unafraid to take risks with their interpretations like this. It was wonderful to hear.
That Largo movement... Sublime. The play between harpsichord and Recorder is magical!
The combination of harpsichord and cello such as we see in this work, is normally referred to as continuo in the music of this era.
Sir you are a gifted musician ...who plays his instrument with passion, and joy. Your energy is incredible 🙌
Your truly blessed.
After having heard this, I ordered immediately 3 CDs with him.
Rainer Horning hes truly talented
th-cam.com/video/XcrECwLAHsI/w-d-xo.html Giovanni Antonini is fantastic as well, his version is cleaner and more expressive.
Elementary school didn’t teach us this
Absolutely hahahhaa
The Pied Piper of Vivaldi! Bravo!
All of the rats in my neighborhood have just jumped into the river.
This is the funniest comment...and shows you to be an educated person...well at least you have read Robert Browning!!
Good, go fishing then !
Maurice Steger is not the Pied Piper of Hamlin yet !
You can't escape cringe like that, stupid rats.
I think he refers to Ratatouille, doesn't he?
He's a monster... One of the best musicians I have ever seen!
Eduardo Rohde Eras Complete with the power stance
what I felt like in 4th grade 0:32
What a fantastic performance, full of passion and driven by mastery and sense of humour. This musician is a star. Will re-send this to everyone I know.
My Lord! Everyone needs that cellist and concertmaster in their life! Talk about landing the plane!
but can he play hot cross buns?!?!
of course
buddyhawkings 😂😆
ok but are you sure?
Daisy Yu when he can play such a complicated excerpt that requires a lot of control in articulation, breathing,he can definitely play a song as slow as hot cross buns
He can play cold plasma for sure... Chi Kong! altering the Chi changes the Kong (physical world)
Me: hand me the aux cord
Friends: you better not play trash
Me:
But it's not trash
This IS NOT trash, how dare you how DARE YOU disrespect of such music like this, this is amazing, I am only 18 seconds in and I love it, how in Gods earth do you have the fucking gut to say something like that, this was made by a Subgod, do not I repeat do NOT disrespect this music again.
Just stop hating on this guy's comment and do something worthwhile with your life
Francesca Tarr its a terrible performance of good music, the player is literally chocking
@@karlpj1 ok
Wow. Beautiful. Amazing.
The best thing about classical music is that everyone is so talented, skilled, and bored that they make stuff like this
Can't he speed up a bit?
Are u stupid
@@aidanchau1664 r/whooosh

Changing the speed setting is the weirdest noises you will ever hear
Ya its really slow a baby could play this😂
I can't believe I'm getting seduced by a man playing the recorder.
I too am a snake
The flamingsword I can’t like this, it’s at 69
I can't believe you are freely admitting that you are being seduced by a man playing a recorder.
@@CrandMackerel Idk man....His playing had me in a trance as well haha.
well, he IS wearing a snazzy suit, so ...
He changes the recorder before the largo movement, the first one being aparently of granadilla wood, the second, who knows (maybe resewood). At 8:40 he swaps back to the dark recorder before takling the last quick movement. That intrigues me a lot. If anyone knows the reason for this...
Luis Bueno second recorder is boxwood- it is arguably a more flexible/ sweeter sound, the grenadilla has much more projection and volume. If he were to play the same instrument all the way through there is also more chance of the recorder clogging up with condensation from the breath. Swapping in the middle gives the Blackwood soprano a chance to rest in between. Both instruments are made by Ernst Meyer
@@bobbycorns Thank you for your explanation. Now I can see why to swap recorders.
@@bobbycorns oohhh so different material producing different sounds. I just knew that.

0:56 i like the left guy at the back. and this recorder player is so fun to watch, though i think if he goes down any further he might rip his trousers.
I once saw Maruice live and I can tell he's truly one of a kind! He must have a very well sustained breath and I wanted to congratulate him for playing so flawlessly Vivaldi's difficult concertos and always having such energy on stage! Keep up recorder's Paganini!
Beautiful! He's putting his ENTIRE SELF into that performance.
Really outstanding performer...I enjoy a lot not only his divine sound but also how he moves and expresses with his body and face. Terrific!!!
I never knew that you could achieve Badass status on a recorder!!!? Wow!!!? I love musicians that take an interest in odd INSTRUMENTS and MASTER the CRAP OUT OF THEM!!!?
"so what do you do?"
"i'm a professional recorder player."
"yeah...but what do you DO? like, for work?"
"i'm a professional recorder player."

This is surely a Recorder Grand Master.
I bet this man's super lungs can defeat coronavirus on their own.
I admit I never thought I'd like recorder chamber music but I love this. Their enthusiasm and expertise are infectious. What a wonderful work! Amazing.
Awesome! To show the world that the recorder can be a respectable instrument in the right hands. The way all these musicians play together is perfection. So fun!
I really liked the development of the sound, the meaning of the phrasing, the elegance of the detachments and this hidden humility in the service of the music
He played more notes in this video than me in 3 years of flute section......Amazing!
Maurice Steger's magical recorder is a free - playing creature itself and he is a magnificent performer who controls it at will

TH-cam: **video intensifies**
Years of hard work. God bless you.
All joking aside, this man's amazing
Omg people ! I haven’t laughed so hard in ages. Watching and listening to this guy and read your comments made my day. I’m 50 years old still have my recorders since preschool and still pay on them even though I didn’t have any recorder lessons after 2nd grade. Thanks 🙋🏼♀️💕
You still "pay" on them? Jajajajaja
First time hearing or seeing this piece- I had no idea what was coming, I just knew it was coming because I saw everyone giving the soloist the eye, and he kept looking more and more like he was about to leap of the stage and start doing cartwheels and cackling like a maniac, then he takes this huge breath and the machine gun of notes opens fire. I died, I had to pause it until I could catch my breath. What awesome energy and yet such subtle skill!
🙄 Very inspirational! Let every children of the world watch this. 🥰😁🤩😆😍
The recorder is so underated!
The first and third movements are played with a lot of energy, great dynamics and verve, even if admittedly a little too fast for my taste. But who's to say how Vivaldi wanted it played? The minute a composer lays down his quill, it's down to the performer to interpret the work. The second movement is beautifully played with magnificent ornamentation.
Not trying to confuse music periods here, but Ravel once said that music should be played, not interpreted.
@@artemtsarevskiy2785 er... doesn't it boil down to the same thing? You play the music. Every musician plays differently. QED: interpretation. Whatever the period.
@@unpodimusica1 Makes sense. I guess the point is to avoid focusing on your interpretation, but rather to focus on conveying the music. Yeah too high IQ for me.
@@artemtsarevskiy2785 Concentrate on the music. I wholly agree with you there.
"But who's to say how Vivaldi wanted it played?" Both movements are formally named "Allegro" and "Allegro Malto", which are musical names for pieces meant to be played in such a manner.
Checking the settings to see if the rate of playing is 1.25x ...
Same
You'd rather slow it down to 0.75/0.50, and then try to see if there are, let's say, more than four clean notes in a row...
Perhaps 1,5x
And now as a musician I feel sooo inadequate- what a masterclass!
Bravo!!!!! Bravo!!! And that's how you play Vivaldi!

THE RECORDER IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE FLUTE WITH KEYS. IT'S AWESOME WHAT THIS PERSON DOES WITH AN INSTRUMENT WITH SO LITTLE RESOURCE. CONGRATULATIONS
And fife is more difficult than recorder
"THE RECORDER IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN THE FLUTE"
Lol, no. A flute requires much more technique for blowing than a recorder. A recorder is essentially a super primitive flute with an awful sharp pitch and cheap sound.
@@Sam-vi2ho at least the recorder is a real instrument
Isn't "flute" a family of instruments?
@@carl1622 Are you being serious or is this a r/whoosh for me
Fantastic display of virtuosity and musicality on an oft-maligned but truly wonderful instrument; I love playing my (ever-expanding) collection of recorders, and couldn't even fathom pulling off some of the stuff he did here.
LOVE MUSIC
Double points for not only bringing back the recorder, but elbow patches too!!!
I didn't know the recorder could be even played like that. I always thought it was something for primary school kids. Thanks for changing my mind about that.
it's wild that at some point in history people recognized a recorder as a respectable instrument and not some elementary toy that you would learn to play in kindergarden.
You've obviously never played an instrument

The recorder is the only way that sound should be transmitted through wood via wind
**4th grade XD
heh. The recorder was basically the default wind instrument for quite a while. We just subject kids to it because it's "relatively" easy to learn.
Steger's body rhymes along with the melody he plays, enchanting expression of musicality. Listening to Vivaldi's Recorder Concerto one can hear the tempo is typical of the Baroque period. The recorder is a simple wind instrument and the most economical among musical instruments. It is so profound in its simplicity, it is simply a harmonious and delightful musical instrument. A wonderful skilful assemble of violinist , harpsichordist and cellist. Great Rendition!
This is seriously one of the coolest, most fun pieces I've ever heard. Amazing musician, that recorder player!
bravo! amazing performance - great sense of humor - top notch - thx 4 sharing!

i actually got recorder in fourth grade a year ago and i got black belt and now, in fifth grade, i am using a tenor recorder and im pretty good at it!

Loved this; vibrant, lyrical & expressive
This is freaking impressive
this guy shreds. Can't believe he's so precise and effortless at the same time.
Wow! This is the first time in my life I ever heard such a beautiful melody from the recorder! 💖♥️💕🎶🎵
All these time all I ever heard is myself and fellow classmates playing it back in primary school.
This inspire me to buy recorder and to start playing again.
I guess the concertmaster and Joshua Bell attended to exactly the same violin lessons
Izan Falcón Armas hahaha
Izan Falcón Armas It looks like Joshua Bell would be the concertmaster in this. Unless, you’re being sarcastic. Also, Bell, as a youth was taught by Ivan Galamian, one of the world’s greatest violin pedagogues. Pearlman was even instructed by Galamian when Perlman was at Juilliard as a student.
@@jamesschmidlin1127 No, Joshua Bell studied with Josef Gingold.
Everyone is say that it's too fast but they seem to forget that this is in the Baroque era and not the Classical or Romantic era. This piece was most likely set in Allegro, which means to play cheerfully. The soloist is doing so, but he is not rushing, this piece was most likely premiered at this tempo for two reasons: 1. It's Vivaldi. 2. It's the Baroque era. In my opinion, slowed down Allegro pieces sound terrible, It's the same as going 120 kph in the left lane on the Autobahn lol
Allegro. Not vivace or presto
@Egg MCMUFFIN you obviously didn't get the example
@@shadow20033 It's still too fast for the character of the baroque era. It was find to play with the speed a bit, but there's barely any sound of the recorder in the first movement.
He misses too much notes, specially on the first movement... This tempo can't be handled by anyone on this concerto!
I have played the recorder for over 50 years and know this concerto very well, but have never before heard it being played at this almost outrageous speed. I appreciate his technique and it's good fun, but in my opinion it's too fast. Vivaldi says allegro in both the first and the third part, definately not presto. Musically wrong; too many notes are being lost to the audiance.
The speed, control, and breathing technique is amazing, well done sir
Grandiose et majestueux!
Un grand merci à ces virtuoses!
Most entertaining performance i’ve ever seen. Just splendid.
I was arguing with my mom because she said recorder was no real instrument so then I showed her this video of some professional recorder playing and she was like "well okay you're right"
Flûtiste époustouflant ! Flabbergasting ! Quelle maîtrise au service de cette ode à la joie qu'est la musique de Vivaldi !
This splendid performance they play with exquisite skill and breathtaking technique and many allure is comfortable and soothing to the ears and the mind
Vivaldi himself is the greatest gift itself from God for us all
