      Don't forget that she is a really good Musician & generous with her knowledge. I looked up her name in the notes...lisa Beznosiuk...we can learn a lot from her playing. And yes, she comes across as a really lovely person. No ego...just a genuine caring for what she does.

    • @Diamonddogusa

      These flutes have their place, but would never in a million years penetrate through a large orchestra and hall. I have a Haynes flute from the 1920s and even though its a 'modern' Boehm system flute. it struggles to keep up with the latest models.

    • @FriaGram

      Good thing we've got microphones and amplifiers now.

    • @brumels1570
      @brumels1570 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Fria Gram Most concerts do not use amplification. The type of baroque flute in vogue now is barely audible even in a small hall. A baroque violin can easily drown it out. Brandenburg no.5 quickly becomes a concerto for violin and harpsichord.

    • @brumels1570
      @brumels1570 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I suspect either a misunderstanding in how the baroque flute was played or in how those flutes were constructed.

    • @FriaGram
      @FriaGram 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      there is nothing wrong with using amplification and mixing on any instrument.
      Though you can always use primitive mutes, like have the violins face away, playing far in the back. Or just stick some towels in the body.

    Ms. Beznosiuk is one of the great flautists of our time. Her recording of the Bach flute sonatas (on Hyperion) is simply masterful.

      Wooden flutes with modern keywork can be had. Best of both worlds.

    • @johnny_eth
      @johnny_eth 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It's a great instrument for solo repertoire or to play with a quartet or small orchestra. But in a big concert hall with a modern orchestra, it simply does not cut though and there the metal flute is much more effective.

    Judging from how much I love playing old recorders, and the alto recorder especially, I think I'd like to learn to play the baroque flute. I've tried the modern flute, but it has such a jarring sound to my ears. My uncle makes it sound good, so I know VERY well that it just takes practice, but I need to be able to have fun practicing and not get a headache.

    • @joeltunnah

      HadridarMatramen I play both recorders and flute, I think it just takes a while for you to be able to enjoy playing the flute because of the breathing/ it not sounding very nice until you have been playing for a while 😂 but I’d definitely recommend sticking with it :)

    • @NoHomerS

    The mystery of the flute is that it, alone among all instruments, requires no mechanical parts for sound production. It's voice is that of only air disputing with itself.
    The major difference between the Baroque flute and most of its predecessors and its successor modern orchestral flute is not in the keywork nor the material from which it is made but in the shape of the bore: that of the Baroque is conical; that of the Boehm flute, as with archaic reed flutes, is cylindrical.
    The Baroque flute, like the Baroque recorder and oboe, is not primitive. It's technical achievement is just not in plain sight.

    Lovely! I wanna get a Baroque flute eventually. I need to learn how to play it ;-) I've been looking for either a wooden headjoint or a wooden flute like Rudall Carte... probably gonna go the headjoint route because the older instruments are hard to find here in the states.
