What many people may not realize, is the EXTREME difficulty to play in tune with these instruments, which are as beautiful as traitors. The slightest error in air column pressure is immediately punished by an out of pitch note. I am impressed by the quality of these interpreters. Bravo !

[@user-yu3le2cg8v]

Yeah… and they did it without even putting their lips on’em!!

[@wayneandrus240]

THIS IS WHAT HUMANS WERE MEANT TO DO - create beautiful ART!!

[@immanuellasker4273]

who ever heard of Ascanio Trombetti? Thank you KZbin for taking me here

[@giorgiogallesio4950]

Amo la musica, chi la scrive, chi la suona, chi la riproduce. Questo brano, gli strumenti cosí particolari e inusuali, la dolcezza sobria del brano mi incantano. Non mi stanco di riascoltare. Grazie. Condivido con entusiasmo

[@yannickleroux7464]

On a vraiment de la chance de pouvoir accéder aujourd'hui à des musiques aussi singulières qui nous ouvrent à de nouveaux univers.

[@margaritazagorskaya371]

❤yes, it's wonderful

[@alanhean6504]

I live in Africa, my soul moves a few degrees each time I hear such beauty. Deep inside it moves mes me❤❤❤

[@user-74652]

There's something particularly beautiful about low recorders.

[@rehgina9903]

Blockflöten?

[@hemiolaguy]

@@rehgina9903 Ja, genau. Blockflöten sind "recorders" auf englisch.

[@allthumbs3792]

To hear this ensemble is to experience the definition of mellow. Lovely!

[@RastaSaiyaman]

It reminded me of the sound of a church organ but woodier.

[@JessHull]

thats because the Recorder is based on the organ pipe.

[@NoHomerS]

Great way to describe it

[@NoHomerS]

@@JessHull actually its the other way around.

[@marcellominasi41]

Esiste un registro di organo che suona quasi esattamente così.

[@medora2499]

This is beautiful. I love how they sound almost like a choir.

[@SeekerLancer]

Recorders do operate under the same principles as a pipe organ so you're not wrong.

[@supremetuna]

@@SeekerLancer recorders are "easy to learn, hard to master" type instrument and it can be played with your friends! But clearly people hate recorders somehow as they think that recorders are childish :(

[@arno-luyendijk4798]

Well, that impression is also logical due to the fact that this piece was written in the period of polyphonic compositions, which were written for choirs in the first place. Instrumental music had not found its independent place yet and was derived from these vocal compositions.

[@youtubesketches110]

Excellent observations. Indeed the textures of 1500s instrumental music were like the soaring choral music at Basilica San Marco in Venice. - In the subsequent Baroque period textures changed, and these older choral textures faded. First monody, e.g. Monteverdi's "l'Orfeo," and later a more intricate form of polyphony, e.g. Bach, developed. Early Baroque music still had the model system but gradually evolved into the (major v. minor) tonal system. - This Renaissance music wasn't cutting edge past the 1500s, but its antiquarian majesty revives the thoughts and utterances of our ancestors. Through this music our beloved dead thus speak--through us--beyond the grave.

[@p.s.129]

This is very special and beautifull. The hidden sound of an ancient forest.

[@user-hz9mg8bp2n]

原理はパイプオルガンと同じですが、この柔らかい音色とハーモニーは木製と魂のこもった人のブレスにり醸される音の世界だと思います。このような古楽器と演奏に伝統の深さと推移を学べます。ありがとうございます💕🙏

[@carolagraf5403]

Every time I need to calm down, I watch this video and everything is fine....

[@claudinerollannen3509]

Merci pour ce magnifique concert. Quelle émotion.❤

[@ilovehifi]

I dont know why, but in my opinion the sound is "holy". Great artwork.

[@damienbernard9846]

Magnifique, magnifique ! Je découvre et j'adore.

[@DanFiebiger]

I'd love to hear the biggest ones live, up-close, just to focus in on what they uniquely sound like. Wonderful!

[@kaybrown4010]

The ensemble work is astounding, the intonation is miraculous, and the whole piece is transcendent. Thank you for sharing this gift!

[@bnebinger123]

My teachers a nerd

[@robcat2075]

Yes getting that many recorders in tune is a feat.

[@Chompchompyerded]

As an music historian I am usually a stickler for historical accuracy, but once in a while there comes along a performance which is so satisfyingly beautiful that I just don't care. This is one such performance.

[@BelCantoization]

Ethereally beautiful. Thank you for preserving ancient music!

So lovely to see and hear Anna, Anna and Maria who have been wonderful tutor in Armidale, Australia. Camille Hollingdale

[@notlih11]

I have played a contrabass recorder (second biggest) in concert before. It is fun!!

[@joe8256]

¡ cuanta maravilla desconocida ; gracias mil ¡¡

[@nightwatchrenband]

Wow, so many BASS Recorders. I love this.

[@guilhermesobrinho1329]

probably a million dollars very nicely used on a single ensemble

[@dgpiercer]

I have no words to describe it. Thank you!

[@jasperkok8745]

I know this is an old clip, but I only stumbled upon it today. In a word: WOW!! I’ve always found that recorder ensembles can sound very similar to a pipe organ, but never have I heard a recorder ensemble sound *this* similar to an organ. I almost had to watch, rather than listen, to make sure if it was an organ or not.

[@HighKingTurgon]

I love YOU, the Royal wind music!

[@giiitai2429]

Amazing. Mille Complimenti🇮🇹❤🇱🇹

[@johnedwinsnyder5082]

Such transcending music. We are fortunate to now have Maestro Leenhouts here in Denton at our University of North Texas!

[@bettinajoseph3758]

Sounds very fine, done great 👍 Never saw such big flutes before

[@JohnViinalass-lc1ow]

resounding thanks to you, all...for the practicing, for instrument care and your good community...please be well!

[@peteacher52]

How beautiful! A quiet, restful piece played in the middle and low registers. I've never seen a member of the recorder family as large as the instrument on the right. It must have the equivalent tone of an 8 foot flute stop on an organ. Thank you for this uplifting posting.

[@hismajestysmen]

Absolutely superb playing of a wonderful piece previously unknown to me.

[@kellyharper367]

This is heaven on earth!

[@marcosPRATA918]

Perfect set in harmony and timbres.

[@BaroqueFlote]

A wonderful prayer usind recorders instead voices!! Love it. it gives me calm and peace in my soul, and overall trust in my Lord. So this the text Trombetti used in this composition : "Diligam te, Domine, fortitudo mea. Dominus firmamentum meum, et refugium meum, et liberator meus. Protector meus et cornu salutis meae, Deus meus adjutor meus, et sperabo in eum. " thanks for sharing!

[@edwardscully6536]

It's not just the beauty of this wonderful music. it's the intimacy of the photography, that make this a very special piece.

[@jacquesfontaine3384]

Extraordinaire profondeur de la composition , chaleur des timbres , c'est impressionnant.

[@davidbenefiel9289]

Great music.Great video. Great audio. Congratulations to the Paul Leenhouts, RWM and the video and audio artists.

[@shihhui36]

Nice expressions and performances of all artists were captured! Good!

[@suzeb50]

Much as I love all the technical stuff and triple tonguing, this piece give me peace. My "Ikea" contra bass just doesn't come anywhere near these deep sounds.... but then it is a totally different instrument in comparison. Well done Paul

[@tattycat2006]

Very beautiful and stirring. I love it!

[@sandychestnut2869]

Reminiscent of Dowland's music. Always enjoyable.

very soporific to the mind body and spirit

[@iwoodbustanut7380]

the "eardrum nuke" reputation reli just comes from the soprano recorder cuz it's too common, ngl the lower register of the family is amazing

[@henrygibbons2354]

The difference in timbre between a high-quality wood soprano recorder in the hands of a skilled player and the cheap plastic student instruments is truly worth hearing.

[@K2koolS]

Sublime !

Grazie per questa bellezza! giovanni vianini, Milano, Italia

[@alanburnham9832]

WOW

[@beatesetzer2441]

It takes a lot of expertise to play it well.just as much as any other instrument

[@Jesuswinsbirdofmichigan]

Wow like, totally humbled and embarrassed. My bitchin about how difficult tryin to stretch my 63+ yr. old fingers and the guilt about givin up my tenor recorder; has no longer the importance I've falsely given it. I am educated, and thankyou to the entire team who've made this video & posting it.

[@scotttical]

Which members of the recorder family are in this video? (And which are absent?)
