Crisp and sprightly tempo...recorder players are simply outstanding. Lovely to the ear and mind. Thank you for your virtuosity.

You know what I liked best about this wonderful interpretation? The young people playing their parts! This is how classical music lives on, when young people become captivated by the masterpieces of past masters, they then go on to learn how to play different musical instruments. Big, huge, WOW!!!!!❤

Amazing how so few instruments can sound like so many. Good to see such enthusiastic young players.

When I think about the work that goes into playing pieces like this, I am so happy to see young people putting in the work, my own failed attempts to,learn instruments aside it is nice t nhear the classics live on in the young musicians

How beautiful. How can a human mind compose such fantastic music, it is a wonder. And performed with world class virtuosity❤❤❤

I used to look on it as a toy, but this is fabulous

I've lost count how many times I've listened to this joyful performance. Enjoyed the recorders and the string section especially.

How on 🌎 can anybody give them thumbs down!!! As a jazz/latin recorder player I respect and admire these two young ladies on the classical art form.... Very impressive.

Just stumbled across this video. It has taken my breath away.

this piece is something else with recorders, the oboes normally just end up being muffled by the violins, but the recorders stay nice and clear, brilliant

An outstanding performances by all, especially by the recorders they bring a special kind of 'brilliance and liveliness' to this piece. Clearly they all enjoyed playing together and we, as listeners reaped the benefit. Thanks for sharing. Well done each and everyone of you. Loved it.

Listen to the phrasing, the expression, the blend, the depth of performance...everything is here. GF Handel would be pleased to hear this rendition.

TB, I agree that it's just marvellous, EXCEPT for one aspect of the video. On many occasions when both recorders are in view and being played, Lucie is in focus but Charlotte is slightly out of focus, even if she is in the foreground. I realise that the video is promoting Lucie's album, but this is poor camera work.

This performance captures the exuberance and excitement of an event Handel was describing - the best I have seen. A reference performance imo. The recorders are extraordinary. Thanks.

Yes, BRAVO! This performance is amazing.❤

Lucie en Charlotte. Pracht werk meisjes. Proficiat, ik kan er geen ander woord voor vinden. Die blok fluiten, spreken luider dan een heel koor of orkest in jullie handen. Wat een prestatie, Als klein meisje heb ik altyd geleerd, de echte Nederlandse uutdruking, Oranje boven. Nou daar zyn jullie beiden een glanzend exemplaar van, Zo ziet de rest van de wereld dat Netherlands weet muziek te maken, met de beste van de beste, en als de beste die er bestaan. Heel veel success voor jullie verderen carriere.

So happy to see Ms Charlotte B Condini moving up, the winner of a recorder competition some years ago

Thank you, Ms. Horsch and Ms. Barbour-Condini. This makes my jaded old ear happy.

What a wonderful performance. So intense and alive.

It’s so gratifying to see so many energetic young people in-sync with Baroque Musick even down to the use of the pre-1773 bows - it is regrettable that we don’t see as many examples as this in these days of ‘insolent pop music noise’ among to-day’s woefully ignorant younger generation - May this small example from the great Handel be an example to them of what they COULD be listening-to !!

There are some brilliant recorder players in Cape Town

Yes, stunning is the right word. Wonderful playing, all of you!

To me those most amazing sounds portray the beauty of the earth we live in, far beyond the greatness of the queen of sheeba.

Herr Handel would be delighted to hear his fabulous music thus rendered, I'm sure!

I feel transported to the stars by the sheer magnificence and beauty of the music.

I gave up recorder at age 11 because our class sounded dreadful, maybe down to the teacher. Maybe we were just bad. I wish now at 73 I had kept it up.

Absolutely breathtaking, the whole ensemble was brilliant. Regards from South Africa

heard it thousand times, so young and vibrant. 11 out of 10. Fantastic!

I never would have thought recorders could sound so good. I just remember them as an instrument from school that nobody could play. Wonderful rendition.

Just found this beautiful rendition of Handle, what a lifting feeling from theses dark times, long live mankind's lifting music

Utterly charming, gratia.

What a remarkable performance by the young ladies & their recorders

One of my favorite pieces of music and I've never heard it arranged for recorders before. Just love the recorders!

This is the most uplifting performance of this piece I've ever heard.

Love the piece and the performance, but I also love that everyone is dressed casually. While formal clothes certainly look nice, it's good to be reminded that this music wasn't always a Very Serious Thing, but was enjoyed by everyone.

Totally inspiring for all musicians

An absolutely brilliant performance. Vigorous, masterful work by all. What a blessing!

Brilliant performance. Love how you see a few musicians smiling as the music is truly uplifting. Then at the end the Ms. Horsch herself is so concentrated still that she keeps a pokerface. And the violinist at the left has frozen.

Amazing❤❤❤

Having learned to play the recorder at school ( about a hundred years ago ) I’m so impressed by the two young ladies playing this difficult piece with such skill, so very talented.

Dear gifted young artists. How deeply delightful, to listen to this racy performance! I've been affectionated with baroque music for more than 25 years but I've never heard a recorder transcription of Handels Arrival of the Queen of Sheba before. This, in notes and play, is real mastership!

Lucie has excellent taste.

What a talent, I could listen to Lucie all day.

Splendid playing of this famous piece

Phenomenal playing - who could vote against such beauty.

Back in school, the kids learning recorders caused an unholy din which permeated throughout the building. Put me off for life right up until I heard this. You both are wonderful players and have proven the instrument can sound wonderful in the right hands.
