    1:08 J.S. Bach - Prelude, Cello Suite No. 1 BWV1007
    As part of Otto Hashmi's headline performance at Leighton House for Glory to Sound. Whilst written in G major, this performance sounds in E major at A=415 as it is performed on a Voice Flute after Denner made by Jack Darach.

    Otto Hashmi is a recorder player and solo artist from London, forging a sound between popular and classical music on an instrument often maligned in both worlds. His upcoming EP 'Music for the End Times' explores the dystopian mood of our current society, taking equal influence from the sounds of London's techno clubs as well as recorder music of antiquity.
    He is currently studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, taking a masters in Advanced Instrumental Studies on Recorder. He is a member of the Royal Academy of Music based ensemble Londoninium Consort, who perform early music with influences from Folk and Contemporary music.
    Upcoming performances:
    18/4/2023 - Echoraum, Wien, AT
    9/5/2023 - matinée with Londinium Consort at Brighton Festival, All Saints Hove, UK.
    9/5/2023 - evening solo set supporting Shabaka Hutchings at Brighton Festival, All Saints Hove, UK.

    Thank you for 10,000 views! As this reaches a wider audience I am going to stop monitoring comments, but thank you all for the wonderful feedback so far.
    I realise unorthodox interpretation can be divisive, but I hope that by pushing into new grounds the potential for this underappreciated instrument can be expanded.

    I don't think that anyone asks, "Why do you play piano?", "Why do you play guitar?", or "Why do you play trumpet?" My question is, "Why should playing recorder have to be defended?"

    • @ottohashmi
      @ottohashmi  Рік тому +20

      A good point - because there is such a widely held stigma, and because I am asked so frequently, I saw it as important to address in a way that would make sense to those who perhaps only see the instrument as suitable for beginners. I hope that by answering these questions and using the instrument in more bold and eclectic contexts it will improve its public perception in the long term.

    I always played the recorder but all I had was plastic yamaha, hohner until at my age of 57, my wife, who is a real musician bought one made in Switzerland, Schaffhausen made of olive wood. What a difference! Maybe I will now even learn how to play it.

    Good execution, personal, interesting, and imaginative. I noticed in the last long note that closes the piece, I think it's a low F, a little gurgle that makes me think of the "wolf tone" that reminds me of some of my recorders that have this little flaw in one note.👍👍

    • @ottohashmi
      @ottohashmi  Рік тому +3

      Thank you very much - yes I agree, I love the intrigue that those notes can have, almost like an extension of temperament having different effects on steps of a scale. Although I've since had it adjusted by the maker to fix this.

      @@ottohashmi I don't want to contradict you but I seem to have read that the tuning fork of your voice flute is A=415Hz, with this tuning fork it is F but if the voice flute is A=440Hz, it is surely E.😊

    • @ottohashmi
      @ottohashmi  Рік тому +1

      @Giorgio Lamborghini no problem at all. But at 440 this would be Eb/D# ... at A=392 of course this would be an F. Perhaps it could be that I'm pushing somewhat, I think the note is definitely a good few hertz sharp of a tuning fork here as I was going full force😅

    En France au niveau de l'éducation nationale on méprise trop la flûte à bec alors qu'elle donne accès, en particulier grâce à JS Bach , à énormément de résilience . Les jeunes comme ici y trouve le moyen de s'affirmer de belle manière.

    La meilleure version pour flûte à bec de ce mouvement. De loin supérieure à toutes les autres. Vous devriez tester l’acoustique de la Maison d’Erasme à Bruxelles, la grande salle est tapissée de cuir et conviendrait parfaitement à votre interprétation.

    Ich empfehle (dringend) die Einspielung von Frans Brüggen zu studieren. Frans Brpggen hat ja seine Übersetzug der Cello Suiten in einem japanischen Verlag publiziert.
    Die Töne hier sind oft überzogen. Das Tempo (rubato) passt nicht immer. Und der „Sound“ der Blockflöte und oft nicht der Schöne „Denner“-Ton
