Adorable ! la violoncelliste joue sa partition avec la technique ancienne, sans pique et avec un archet à courbure inversée ; la flutiste et le claveciniste sont parfais .

This is really excellent soprano playing. She's a young player to watch.
The recorder sounds less shrill than most sopranos for, I think, three reasons. First, it's at baroque pitch (A-415). Second, the bore and voicing are designed to be mellow (perhaps a copy of the Terton in the New York Metropolitan Museum). Finally, and most importantly, she doesn't overblow. Instead, she sets the thumb hole opening just right, so the high notes speak easily, and uses alternate fingerings to adjust.
