BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY - Recorder Cover of the song by QUEEN
Музыка
The BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is probably the best known and most popular song in rock history worldwide.
For more than 20 years I have repeatedly thought about adapting this song for recorders and band without making myself or the instrument ridiculous.
Not only the recorder community, but also those who get involved with the sound of the recorder will now have great fun with it, and maybe there will be a portion of goosebumps on top of it..! ;-)
Recording:
Recorders, Bass: Ralf Bienioschek
Piano: Brandon Ethridge (NY)
Guitars: Markus Wienstroer
Drums: Dave Knight
Mix: Oliver Kels
Ralf Bienioschek
Camera + editing: Andi Huck
A big thank you goes to the Sparkassen-Stiftung Neuss and to Christian Weber (Kulturamt Neuss), with whose help I was able to finance the video.
Many thanks to you, dear Adriana Breukink, for my absolute favorite recorders. I play four of your Eagle recorders (soprano, alto, tenor, bass), the only recorders that give me this grandiose and unique recorder sound.
I also play a fantastic Küng Great Bass Superior and of course my blue Paetzold Contra Bass, which Jo Kunath pimped up.
You can find the version of the Bohemian Rhapsody that I recorded, as well as all my other groovy songs and arrangements for recorders and band, on all popular streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
DEUTSCH:
Die BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY ist weltweit wohl der bekannteste und beliebteste Song der Rockgeschichte.
Seit über 20 Jahren habe ich mich immer wieder mit dem Gedanken befasst, diesen Song für Blockflöten und Band zu adaptieren, ohne mich bzw. das Instrument dabei der Lächerlichkeit preiszugeben.
Nicht nur die Blockflöten-Gemeinde, sondern auch die, die sich auf den Blockflöten-Sound einlassen, werden jetzt ihre helle Freude daran haben, und vielleicht gibt's obendrauf auch eine Portion Gänsehaut..! ;-)

Ein großer Dank geht an die Sparkassen-Stiftung Neuss und an Christian Weber (Kulturamt Neuss), mit deren Hilfe ich das Video finanzieren konnte.
Den besten Dank Dir liebe Adriana Breukink für meine absoluten Lieblingsblockflöten. Ich spiele vier Eagle-Blockflöten von dir (Sopran, Alt, Tenor, Bass), die einzigen Blockflöten, die mir diesen grandiosen und einzigartigen Blockflöten-Sound ermöglichen.
Außerdem spiele ich noch einen fantastischen Küng Großbass Superior und natürlich meinen von Jo Kunath gepimpten blauen Paetzold Subbass.
Die von mir eingespielte Version der Bohemian Rhapsody, sowie alle meine anderen groovigen Songs und Arrangements für Blockflöten und Band findet ihr auf allen gängigen Streaming-Diensten wie Spotify, Apple Music etc.

@@ralfbienioschek6 Amazing is the only word that matches this cover. So many instruments I'd never heard of (what's that metal one you're playing standing at 3:08?), playing the parts of the original recording with both respect and a personal feeling... Absolutely beautiful. It certainly does put the world of recorders forward. And I love the pleasure you take while playing the guitar solo part :-) Hope Andi Huck enjoyed himself too, his job is also incredibly talented -and quite in tune. Vielen herzlichen Danken an Sie beiden von Frankreich!

@@ThefrenchFranz Hello Franz, thank you very much for your very nice comment! I am very grateful for that and I am happy when my work is appreciated! The instrument at 3:08 is a sub-bass recorder. 😉 It's basically a square recorder, based on a wooden organ pipe. This was airbrushed back in the 90s based on my design. These basses became more and more popular and are now manufactured by Kunath-Instrumentenbau www.kunath.com and delivered all over the world. Salutations à la France

@@ralfbienioschek6 Thanks for the kind reply and these infos! I'd never heard of a square recorder before either🙃... But now I've seen you play it on your "Bad guy cover", and a lady plays it on one of your BON videos (Ankunft der Königin von Saba).
Eine wunderbare Hommage an Freddy bzw. Queen! Hammer!🎉
Awesome! Bravo bravissimo Recorder is the absolute best❤🎶🎵👏👏
Great job Ralf, many compliments!
Another masterpiece by Ralph!
That was delightful. Loved it!
A marvelous tribute to such good music, quite a feat, quite a feast !
This is absolutely mental!! The skill is off the charts!! Amazing job, absolutely love it!! From a HUGE Queen fan!!!
Wunderbar 🙏, gefühlvoll, einfach klasse ❤️.
Fabulous! I can't wait to send this to my recorder group. We play a bit of everything (early music, folk, American songbook, ragtime, etc.), and I know they will appreciate your musicianship. Full marks on arranging, playing, and video production!
It’s crazy, no matter how you present this song. It’s a true classic, that I’ll replay and listen to for the rest of my life. Thank you for this rendition. It was special and beautiful.
Loved it. I didn't know there were so many different recorders. And the video was great too.
Brilliant and most moving too. Thank you!
WOW.... just wow... loved it. ❤❤ you made my day!
That was amazing! I love recorder anyway, but this is a masterpiece of skill and time. Bravo!
What talent and imagination!!!!! Amazing work!
Very very wonderful🎉 You are “King “ of recorder performer‼️

Very well done, Mr Ralph. My, how that takes one back. Of course when our Party is elected we will institute compulsory recorder tuition at all schools in order to achieve sight reading proficiency countrywide. Sanity shall then at last prevail. (But first I must start a new Party.)
Wie cool ist das denn mega !!
Wonderful. Well done
Amazing!!! 😍😍😍
Hermoso...!!! Sublime...!!!
That was so cool. Really enjoyed that
I've heard some bloody good arrangements of Bohemian Rhapsody; choral, orchestral, whatever, but this one takes the biscuit. I play recorders and other assorted tubes. This arrangement is incredibly beautiful, expressive, accurate, and completely puts to bed the idea that recorders belong only in schools and in early music pieces. Your playing, arranging and video editing truly rocks! Pink Floyd, eat your hearts out! ❤ More, please!
I love how you played using different recorders it’s so cool! I love how you played the song! I also learned how to do this song by you!
Wonderfully played ...
I have been playing recorder for 7 years at this point and this is a masterpiece done by you this deserves a subscribe
Brilliant😍😍 I just started the tenor recorder and I love to see it is for pop music too❤Everyone wants me to play the piano, but the recorder gives me a warm feeling. It will take a little longer because I am 59, but as long as I enjoy. Only my joints hurt (artritis) So maybe one day I can afford a comfort tenor😊Merry Christmas and thank you❤🎄
Perfect!
That was awesome.
Great job 👍🏻
BRAVO 👏👏👏👏
Sehr schön!!!

This is a masterpiece x2. Your shaping of the notes really evoked the feeling in the lyrics. Could you please tell us the name of each instrument you used, with time stamps?
Hi! Wow - this is super cool and such a great song! We are a kids family band from NZ and we like to cover classic rock and check out other peoples versions. We do a cover of Bohemian Rhapsody too :) Rock on!

Interesting, it how it would sound in the middle age
How can I find the sheet music?
Just when you think the world has gone to hell in a hand basket, you get a gift…such as this.
Well done! Oh SO close to Bardcore music. Substitute harp for piano, wood/calfskin drums and timbrel for the drum set, and lute for the electric guitar...
This certainly competes with the muppets
😂😂😂😂😂
That recorder is a bit out of tune
