With baroque, you have to play almost vibrato-less with notes that trail off, like with a baroque flute, and he does that really well - he understands how it should be interpreted. You can hear it more near the end in the slow movement.

Very nice played! I love this interpretation! :) Played like this, Baroque music really sounds brilliant. Some other musicians for example don't really know how to play baroque style and play so boring… but this is magnificent! Thanks for sharing.
