Chaque fois que la musique de Bach est reprise avec un autre ou d’autres instruments que celui prévu à l’origine cela fait ressortir de façon renouvelée le génie du Maître qui parvient à rendre très agréable à l’oreille un exercice, le contrepoint, qui est en même temps un plaisir intellectuel. La façon dont les lignes mélodiques se mêlent, s’entrecroisent est une merveille de l’esprit humain. Il faut que ces reprises soient parfaitement interprétées pour en saisir toute la beauté et c’est le cas ici. Grande clarté et belles articulations de ce quatuor. Merci Messieurs !

I loved playing in our Renaissance Collegium at college. Having the largest hands, I often played the bass recorder as well as krumhorns and shawm. You just reminded me that I transcribed some piece of music into something for two tenor recorders and bass. The sound was beautiful. I never knew there was a double bass recorder. Thanks for this gorgeous piece.

Estoy impresionado con tan bella música, y esos instrumentos que jamás había visto dos de ellos, y lo más impresionante es que es el mismo intérprete tocando los cuatro instrumentos, tengo una gran curiosidad por saber cómo fue grabado este video.

I love how you retained the stereo effect for this! Really adds that last little bit of dimension.

Well played, almost as good as Mike Oldfield's "In Dulci Jubilo". This will definitely be on my favourite listening from now on. Now I've got to go back and listen to Mike yet again.

Fascinating. I noticed the sounds produced with the fingering, as well as a little hiss in spots before the recorder speaks. A tracker organ would also have sounds, but from its mechanical action.

What a wonderful sound!

Beautiful! Bach has showed the post-Baroque, well-tempered musical world, the possibilities of the cosmos. I worship him as the greatest composer ever. Ironically, those four musicians appear so utterly identical that I decided this must be an AI video. Hopefully not!

Great way to start my day 5 2 2024 , thanks.

Thank you for this. I find that there are not too many videos on KZread featuring recorders so it's great to see and hear such a beautiful piece. I used to play soprano and bass in my youth but lung problems have put paid to that now. I no longer have my bass but came upon one of my soprano recently. I still have my small CD collection of wonderful music and musicians. Thank you once again.

there is some pretty intense breathing going on there. Bravo

The wee instrument played but one trill, and it was lovely; not especially frantic but a more graced trill over the bar. That's good art. That bit at the very end, I believe, is a mordent. That'll always be my favorite fugue. Nicely done, especially considering those huge logs the two of you are huffing into. Just wow. That you have THAT much air to huff.
