  • Excellente sonorité qui invite au recueillement

  • Hi, check out my Alto Recorder Improv Video!

  • Beautiful to hear a recorder played with feeling, some vibrato and some double tonguing. Nice reverb added. A skillful player. Good work!

  • Enjoyable

  • Ich bin so dankbar für dieses Video, ich benutze es wie eine Unterrichtsstunde und lerne sehr viel dabei. Danke für die wundervolle Aufnahme. Ebennich1

  • The whole emotions of Telemann´s Music in the hands of an incredible artist!

    BRAVO MAESTRO!!!

    Thank you Thomas!!!

  • How wonderfully nostalgic to see the great Mr.Bruggen in action when he was oh so much younger. It's hard to remember him without his head of white hair and his uniek way of conducting. We players of recorders have him to thank for his major contribution in bringing the instrument back into popularity. Go Frans!!

  • On will be still the greatest, wonderful !

  • Now! That's playing the recorder.. Sin payasadas! La música es suficiente!

  • Extraordinario!!!!!!! increíble!!!!!

  • This is THE most stunning solo performance I have ever heard. Bravo!!!!!

  • He plays very good, but his sitting position is scary..

  • @ltschriscrucker You may criticize his smoking cigarettes even more. He is someone who does things different as you can see especially from newer music.

  • This is breathtaking - in both senses. Inspirational!

  • i used to have this composer on LP recordings. he's just great ?

  • This is the instrument these works were written for!!!! All the colors are brought out by the subtle, earthy nature of the recorder... It doesn't sound right on a flute, or an oboe

  • @coralreefs1996 very J.F.K.

  • @AnaEmpanada

    Maybe he IS J.F.K! THIS IS A CONSPIRACY!

  • A man in the recorder orchestra I played in said Telemann wrote the most music for the recorder. Like the father of the recorder. It bring you straight away to a different era.

  • Bruggen is a wonderful musician.

    Does anyone know the opus number for this? I'm trying to find it on IMSLP.

    Thanks

  • @trumpetruss

    Try "12 Fantasias for Flute without Bass, TWV 40:2-13 (Telemann, Georg Philipp)" on IMSLP.

  • @hcholm Thank you!

  • Comment removed

  • He's my father's uncle ^^ I don't know why, but that makes me pretty proud. Makes it less bad to be named Brüggen =P

  • que grande! artista!!!

  • één van de grootste fluitisten die ik ken, prachtig instrument ook.

  • What a wonderful tone he had!

  • Ce qui me ravit toujours chez Bruggen, c'est son extrême sobriété, son dépouillement, en même temps que sa très haute musicalité. Quelle merveille, quel maître à penser. Pas d'esbrouffe, pas de course à la technique ou à la vitesse, rien de tout cela: juste au service de la musique. Merci pour ce merveilleux enregistrement. C'est en l'écoutant que j'ai commencé la flûte à bec.

  • Goddelijk! Dertig jaar geleden zag ik hem alleen op een podium spelen. Die momenten zal ik nooit meer vergeten. Een groot musicus.

  • This looks....wrong...

  • Is that an alto recorder?

  • The video is excellent, but I don't think this is either one of the "famous" Bressan altos in Brueggen's collection, since this one has double holes on 6 and 7 and both of his originals had single holes and play with Hotteterre fingering rather than English fingering. More likely this is a copy by Martin Skowronek at A415 rather than the actual pitch of surviving Bressan alto recorders which varies from A403 to A408.

  • amazing wonderful performance..

    I adored.

    perhaps you like to see this kind of brilliance? See my 2 videos!

    This recording is the best.

  • Thank you maestro..

  • woow

  • What a great artist sharing another great artist's work in such an expressive but still authentic way... so nice,

  • from the composer to the player,from the people who cared recording this video to those who care watching it,this shows how beautiful our species can be.thank you to all.

  • Imagine .. He fostered the solo recorder revival! .. Where would it be without him? Thank you, Frans!

  • Hi can someone help?

    Why does he put is right little finger on the recorder when he is not playing? I just keep mine up if the last whole has to be open. (2:40 - 2:46)

    Thank you (I play recorder just for hobby)

  • @fgkfriz hi it's just a way to be more confortable.

  • Hello...

    No it has not.When you are playing you can put the finger number 8 (samll finger right hand) near the ring, that means near the last hole in the recorder just to keep in balance and be kind of free and relaxing meanwhile you are playing.

  • sublime

  • flauta contralto madera????

  • FAVOLOSO!

  • Che bello! se si pensa che tutto questo è ottenuto con uno dei più semplici strumenti al mondo....

  • Semplice per modo di dire...

    Se suonato a livello elementare forse ma a livello professionistico ha difficoltà pari a quelle di altri strumenti più "blasonati".

    Bruggen rimane, per me, il più grande flautista dolce dello scorso secolo.

    Grandissimo interprete, artista, musicista.

  • I am curious as to the twisting motion he employs. That is to say he tends to twist the instrument on individual notes...I noticed this also on the video of Pavanne Lacrymae as well. Is this to "move" the tone about acoustically or something? Anyone know?

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, actually, I know. He twists when he needs to play a high F# because you have to cover the bottom of the recorder to get that note out, and the easiest way is to cover it with your knee. That's also why he's sitting. It's pretty tricky to master while standing, and could result in a chipped tooth or two, if not worse.

  • I am referring to the "rolling" movement of the recorder in his hands. You can see it in the video of the Van Eyck as well. He rolls the recorder on the lip with his hands constantly. Seems to be conected with the way he also raises the arms on most notes. He raises the arms (like a chicken's wings), rolls the recorder in the same action.

  • Ahhh, sorry, my mistake. Actually I know that too. I was a student to his student Eva Legene for a couple years a while back, and she does it too, and explained the purpose of it... which is... to keep your body, mainly your neck, shoulders, and arms very fluid and loose, because the body movement evokes the strongest, steadiest, and clearest tone. It actually wrinkles out all the little buzzes and odd little woody sound effects from the instrument, and uhhh running out of space...

  • and there are also toothy sound effects, both of which happen naturally when you're just blowing straight through the instrument. It's actually rather scientific, in a slightly frou frou way, but you have to expect a little of that when you're any kind of artistic student.

  • *toothy* meaning as the air travels through your throat and mouth, and teeth, it gets slightly buzzy from bouncing wrong on your teeth. Sorry for getting a little overly descriptive, but I don't know how to explain it with any fewer words.

  • @leftfrogrightbear

    I assumed most of the twisting and other lip movement was to do with intonation, because it appears that he is moving the mouth piece (sorry if that's not what it's called) in and out slightly of his mouth.

    i might be wrong.. I don't play the recorder, I play the flute. my knowledge of recorder playing is pathetic, especially considering that fact that I am a flute player. But I thought covering more up was a way to change intonation, as clarinettists and oboists do.

  • @leftfrogrightbear

    p.s... I've watched it again and can see that the rolling seems to be about covering the holes properly. (Am I right? I think that's what you basically said).

    But watching his lips, I'm still inclined to think some of the movement is to do wiht intonation.

  • I do not know what instrument he is playing, but it is not an original Bressan. I know of no surviving Bressan with double holes, and very few 18th c. recorders with double holes. I did hear that the so-called "Chester" recorders by Bressan had double holes, but I do not know if this is correct.

    In this video, Brueggen is playing a modern copy at A415, my guess being Skowroneck, but maybe Coolsma.

  • Die Zauberflöte

  • holy cow this is astonishing

  • What a fantastic job.

  • Le meilleur flutiste de tout les temps? Et puis quoi encore. Sur quoi vous basez vous pour dire ça?

    Certes il joue bien mais joue t il des œuvre que seul lui sais joué. Prenez Maurice André le trompetiste lui joue des choses que lui seul peu jouer. Donc la on peu dire le meilleur trompetiste de tout les temps.

    Mais c est vrai faut pas critiquer bruggen.

  • maybe the next time in english?

  • What a performer and what an instrument! I grew up with Frans Brüggen recordings so this is a wonderful trip down memory lane for me. This Bressan recorder has the most astonishing sound. Michala Petri has her place, but Brüggen is the true class act for me.

  • Isn't that Teleman's second fantasy?

    Great piece and beautifully played anyway, thanks for sharing!

  • It's the third.

  • Frans van Bruggen is a very talented musician. That was already recognised when we attended St Ignatius College in Amsterdam.

  • awesome

  • Is his recorder tuned to A 440?

  • I think it's more likely the tape has stretched with age.

  • This Bruggen guy is pretty good.

  • @dubhslaine2

    hahahahahahahahahahahhahahahha

    Senior Conductor Maestro Bruggen is "PRETTY GOOD"?

    hahahahahahahahahahah

  • @thermagaeddonn Just joking. Love Telemann!

  • @thermagaeddonn perhaps what he/she means is Frans looks Pretty and good, :-) musically is outstanding...

  • @LeaBruggen he's the greatest

  • This Bressan instrument is made by Bressan in the period that he has his work in London. That is this one. The English people found it easier to play with the double holes. Also the normal Braock grib of playing was used in England and Bressan than made recorders in London. In France he made instrument for the French recorder players and he made the instruments in French Braock grib abd the single holes under.

  • hello, I have always loved this recording, I thinks he´s one of the best musicians of the recent times, as a recorder player, as a conductor and of course as a fire starter of the early music movement we know... I was just wondering if anyone know a bit more about the recorder he´s playing here, is that an historical instrument? beacuse you say his "famous Bressan recorder"

    Thanks a lot, greetings from Barcelone

  • Hello, FRans has the most famous collection of historical recorders (Bressan, Stanesby, Wyhe, Heitz, Hotteterre). These are all measured and technically drawn by Morgan and published in print (Zen). He has 2 Bressan recorders that are top notch. One of these is used in this recording, like some other recordings he's made.

    Current builders of historical recorders all use the Morgan-drawings to copy these Bressans e.o.

    Thomas

  • He is one of the best recorder players of the world!

  • Excelent!

  • absolutely beautiful!

  • Just wonderful!

  • wow! je ne suis pas une joueuse de flute a bec mais je trouve sa vraiment sincerement magnifique =)

  • Qué musicalidad! Un excelente intérprete. Gracias a quien lo ha subido!

  • Five stars for one of the best flute players ever and one of the greatest Dutch musicians

  • Comment removed

  • wow.. this is absolutely amazing.

  • Merci de nous donner d'autres vidéos de F. Brüggen si vous en trouvez. Ce sont des documents très précieux pour tous les flûtistes!

  • Je l'a vu une fois en concert moi aussi, et vous aussi (Henri Ganty) ! Je ne sais plus où c'était, j'habitais Strasbourg à ce moment là, mais impossible de me souvenir si c'est là que vous avez joué.

    En tout cas c'était très bien :-)

  • Merci pour ce beau souvenir. Je crois que c'était dans la région de Strasbourg avec Georges Kiss au clavecin et Philippe Mermoud à la viole de gambe. Et merci pour vos compliments. Je viens d'enregistrer un double CD de l'intégrale des partitas de Telemann (avec orgue). Je peux vous l'envoyer si vous me donnez votre adresse.

    Henri Ganty (Belgique).

  • Merci de mettre d'autres vidéos de Frans Brüggen sui vous en trouvez. Ce sont des documents très précieux.

  • J'ai rencontré Frans Brüggen plusieurs fois et reçu des leçons de flûte à bec de lui. Je l'ai souvent vu en concert. Magique! C'est le plus grand flûtiste à bec de tous les temps. Je prie pour qu'il recommence à jouer et à faire des CD's. Henry Ganty

  • J'ai rencontré Frans Brüggen plusieurs fois et reçu une leçon de recorder de lui. Je l'ai souvent entendu et vu en concert. C'était magique. Je prie pour qu'il rejoue de la flûte et refasse des Cd's. C'est le plus génial de tous les flûtistes.

  • I am inspired.

  • I forgot!!!! AWESOME MAN,

    FRANS BRÜGGEN IS A MUSICIAN WHO IS NOT AN ARCHEOLOGIST BUT A GREAT ARTIST (!)

    LUCIANO BERIO.

  • Grande Grandissimo!!!

  • Smashing performance

  • Frans Bruggen, de meest fantastische, muzikale blokfluittist ooit! En nu kan hij het geluid van de blokfluit niet meer verdragen......

  • The key is D minor. The first 3 notes are D F A. It´s because the recorder played by Mr Brüggen is tuned a semitone lower than the modern pitch. (A=415 Hz instead of A=440 Hz). Most baroque musicians of today, play in A= 415 to be more authentic.

  • I think that we are confused... the original T Stanesby of Brüggen collection is tuned at 404Hz. Im sure this recorder is his original T. Stanesby, of London.

    But I never played a recorder tuned a 404 Hz. I had a copy of T. Steneby an the sound is relly similar but is tuned at 415 Hz. .....

  • waaw de twee meest belangrijke mensen toch?

    Het feit dat U ze naast mekaar zet is geweldig!

  • the best!

    perfect

    we have only to hear and learn

  • Fantastic!

  • He's so-special with his legs crossed, bet he's had a couple ribs removed...

  • concertzender en dan "punt" en dan nl ... Veel oude muziek opnames, een eigen kanaal en als je in het "archief" kijkt zijn ook veel opnames te horen. Een beetje slim in de "bron" kijken en je kunt zelfs van concerten in 128 kbs de mp3's vinden... Laatst een leuk concert van de Holland baroque society op die manier naar mijn mp3 speler gekregen. Succes! Rolf

  • Someone's jealous....

  • Erg gaaf! Hoe kom je aan dat spul? Is er nog meer uit die pioniersperiode bewaard gebleven?

    Groetjes,

    Rolf.

    Ps. Steun de Concertzender! Ze wordenweer eens bedreigd. De CZ heeft een eigen "oude muziek" kanaal op internet.

  • He is one of the recorder master,isn't he?

    Where can u get such nice video?

    lol.

    Thanks for your sharing.

  • Could you post more video of Bruggen playing recorder?

    Thank you very much

  • Some people already said it: it is Fantasia n°3 and not n°2. Please correct it in the title. Thx for posting this beautiful music!

  • Wow!! Bruggen is truly amazing... I find recorder difficult, even WITH the fingerings...

  • This is the fantasie n° 3. Not n° 3.

  • Excuse me!

    This is the fantasie n° 3. Not n° 2.

  • Just say what key it is in

  • The first 3 notes are C# E G#, i e C# minor(E

    Major.)

  • Thanks

  • Hermoso, señor Bruggen!!Bravo!!

  • Hello all. Only a few words about the recorder in this video. This is not one of Bruggen's original Bressan altos. His Bressans have simple holes, no doubles like this. It could be another original Bressan or a copy.

  • Here is The best recorder player heared in the world. This is the Reason that The Recorder Players assosiation gave the price..The Millenium Recorder Player!! - Ahora quien quiera atribuirle a otro la corona del mejor del mundo, tendra que tener esta sensillez, El propio Walter van Hauwe, resigna de si al referirse a Frans.

    Pero quien dice como se debe o no de tocar!! La técnica de la flauta de pico la inicio Frans.

  • Lo que es increible, es que hace todo lo que "supuestamente" no se debe: tocar sentado, con las piernas cruzadas, mirando hacia abajo y encorvado ... y sin embargo suena genial. No hay dudas que cuando alguien tiene el don, "no hay con que darle" ... Gracias de nuevo

  • Pero quien dice esas cosas?? Podemos revisar el libro de Hans MArtin Linde, nunca hace restriciones de postura mas que con los brazos lo que se dice "aletear" Walter van Hauwe tambien lo dice igual en The Modern Recorder Player. Puedes checarlo en los tratado de época. Lso ucales he revisado muy detalladamente, (sobre todo los que puedo encontrar en inglès) y no conozco ningúna resticción de postura. PEro te agradecería me dijeras en cual tratado o quien lo dice para revisarlo.

  • For me, if you blow well (with the 'diaphragm') you can stay as you want. And Brüggen is perfect, as we can hear from his fantastic sound. I would play in all postures, also on my fridge, if I could have 'that' sound :-) And also 'those' musical gift & knowledge! W Brüggen, the best performer of all times !

  • Sin duda el mejor flautista, un maestro verdadero.

  • the best recorder player in the world.... how is it possible for him to lif the fingers so so so little. perfect... awesome. thanks for this posting

  • For me Frans Brüggen is the best recorder player of XX century and, probably, of all times !! And the Telemann's fantasias... Thank you very much for posting this wonderful video.
