The instruments devour her sound...sounds so weak. :\

Thank you so much!

is that a recorder?

[violadude2]

@orphan567 No it's a baroque flute, They were fatter and wooden and had less keys and for reasons I cannot comprehend this makes it sound like a recorder.

[StefK48]

@violadude2 Although the score does call for a flauto traverso, that is, a "cross" flute like the modern Boehm concert flute, and not a flauto dolce (recorder), in this performance orphan567 is correct: A recorder has been substituted, the so-called "voice flute" pitched in D (Re) as is the baroque *single-key* traverso.

hmmm...this singer doesn't improvise much in the da capo. Well, I guess it's not that suitable to be adding crazy embellishments for this particular aria.

Great performance!

Great performance Why does the score says "flauto traverso" but Pickett plays "flauto dolce"?

[BethDiane]

I suspect that he doesn't actually play "flauto traverso"; that's a little harder to master. But I think he does pretty well for himself, and it works this way.
