Berkeley Recorder Orchestra plays Vivaldi

The Berkeley Recorder Orchestra's debut concert Oct 30, 2010 at St. David of Wales in Richmond, CA. Letitia Berlin directs her arrangement of Vivaldi's Concerto Op. 3 no 2, 2: Allegro. SO MUCH FUN!!!

Recorded with a Flip HD, which doesn't really like the higher recorder frequencies, so turn your volume down a little if it's too raw for you.

I always think recorder is a stupid musical instrument until I watch this. The song sounds so beautiful.

@anakid123 Well ya. I have a wooden soprano and a plastic soprano. Both very hard to play at first, but they're just plain beautiful. If your recorder is 12 3/4'' and about an inch wide, then it's a soprano. So just use a ruler to measure it. That's how you can find out.

I just started learning the recorder today. I don't know what type of recorder I own (soprano, alto, etc) but it is not an easy instrument to learn for me. Thanks for sharing this video!

All Right!!! I can't say enough about that great intonation. And then there's that incredible tonguing. These are some really talented individuals who took it to the next level and played as a talented ensemble - not a easy feat. Bravo!
