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...

Fantastic!

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

i assume this piece is a medieval piece so older than vivaldi. but i might very well be wrong.

[recorderfan]

this piece is a lot older than vivaldi. i assume is a medieval piece.

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

[recorderfan]

it is an anonymous piece

[recorderfan]

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

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.

Who compose this song?

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.
