Teachers in schools need to show their students recordings or videos of performances like this (or live performances if available) so that the recorder can be seen as what it truly is (a beautiful musical instrument that is) rather than just a stick that can makes noise...
I'm thoroughly impressed! I love the fact that he's playing in a basement, or parking garage to give the recorder that haunting reverb. Nevermind the fact that there's not a harpsichord playing instead of a piano. How many people do you know that own a harpsichord??? It's an angelic performance.
the problem is that the continuo should be on a harpshicorp. i played this not as good as him and the continuo has to be harpsicorp. excellent job for michael...
Well, I'm not against piano accompaniment per se; I wasn't militating for original instruments. But the piano part could be played more in a manner of a harpsichord, using much less pedal, for example -- especially when performed in a parking garage, ha -- and clearly, accurately, etc.
you have a good spirit! Your interpretation of this famous ground is really romantic, not so baroque but beauty. the sound of you istrument, and it is one of the most important thing on the recorder, is good and well tuned. Bravo.

I wish I had kept playing beyond 6th grade, I never knew the recorder could sound like this.

I hope this piece was composed by Vivaldi! I was big fan of him!

Too bad the piano accompaniment wasn't as stellar. It's like having caviar with beans.

maybe you are right and so that the pianist was not as good as him....
