Bart is my favorite flautist. Listen to his recording of the Bach E minor sonata. The range of sounds that he gets out of the flute... well there's just no one like him.

Baroque tuning!

The placement of the instruments is almost identical to the one proposed in Quantz Versuch of 1752... Nice to hear a continuo below& within the strings and soloist.

I have never heard of continuo being used in Mozart. What is the deal?

@@tomswiftyphilo2504 That's because you weren't alive in the 18th century. The Harpsichord was an instrument that Mozart would have played (along with a forte piano (struck instead of plucked strings)). When you realize that Mozart was around while Bach was around?

@@jaysparc Bach died in 1750, Mozart was born 6 years later in 56. The harpsichord was still quite prevalent in the 1760s to the mid 1770s but more or less died out towards the end of the 18th century. it’s probably more fitting to have a fortepiano continuo here although the harpsichord is still quite accurate

It’s so beautiful!! I was just hoping that the balance could be better. Idk if it’s the recording thing, or maybe the orchestra is too loud, or the Baroque flute is just naturally too soft, the balance is a bit off…

I find the balance perfect. It's recorded with a simple stereo pair, providing an accurate reproduction, unlike most of the things we hear nowadays.

Which model traverso is he playing? Is it a Grenser copy? Perhaps by Wenner?
@IndyBaroqueMusic8 ай бұрын
This was an August Grenser model, in boxwood, made by Alain Weemaels (Brussels). This flute was made for the recording of W.F. Bach's flute duets with Marc Hantaï, for Accent, 1990. Weemaels copied an instrument from a private collection in Belgium; the original, also at 415 Hz, had a small oval embouchure hole - Bart asked Weemaels to see how a round embouchure would work, as Grenser sometimes made.

Dang, that explains why it sounded "off" to me once they started playing. It wasn't that they were off, it's just that I was so accustomed to modern tuning that I overlooked the older standard for tuning.
