Whether one hears her at the beginning subtely or not at all, I would say that the progressive emergence of the recorder from the mass of the orchestra is a very beautiful effect, clearly intentional in the writing of this piece, and perfectly rendered in this performance.
@@garynelson561 - the recorder is the solo instrument in this concerto, however, at times the other instruments play together with the recorder , and these times are marked as 'tutti' , and the solo parts are marked 'solo' in the score. The recorder should still be clearly heard even when all the instruments are playing together: we should expect to hear her playing even at the very beginning.
honeychurchgipsy6 that is true, but sometimes the group and soloist decide the interpretation of a piece, each rendition of this will be different...that’s one of the things that makes ensemble playing so special!!!! I just love how the recorder gradually starts to sing over the group like a song bird in the morning.
I don’t think that it’s a question of interpretation but lousy recording. I’m sure that in real life the recorder would still be heard. If not then the strings are playing too loud.
This is Baroque music. It comes a little earlier than the classical period. The recorder seems to have been used a lot in Baroque music, so knowing this might help you to find more music like this
@@illusion466 Isn't the word "classical" just a general term for everything from the baroque period on through the romantic period? from say 1670 to 1880's type time line?
yes but I thought the period following the baroque was the "romantic" period, but is that the same thing as the classical period? I even read one comment where he said how the beauty of the baroque was replaced by romantic nationalism. I was confused by what he meant by nationalism
Look up how much a handmade recorder out of the best, precious woods cost, and you would change your mind on 'modest'. In America recorders are generally not valued, and not taught well. But in most of Europe, it is considered a serious instrument. Which is why the best recorder players in the world are generally Dutch, German, Danish, with very few exceptions.
@@ursulamargrit I said "modest" because that's the wind instrument found in schools at the beginner's level. Some are even made of plastic and cost very little, but above all what makes this instrment modest is its low decibel output. If a composer wants a fortissimo he'll write the part for any instrument but the recorder. Its warm and soft sound evokes the natural world, shepherds playing it while watching their flock of sheep. It's true that the recorder is considered ,unjustly so, the poor relative of wind instruments because nowadays value is given above all factors, to the decibel potential
@@Khamomil Okay, I do see your point. Of course, even some professionals use high end plastic recorders - they're useful when practicing, or when you've played so long that your wooden recorder gets too moist (which of course is why having several wooden recorders is a good idea, so you can switch).
@@ursulamargrit - there are some absolutely fabulous British recorder players too, and at least one excellent Israeli - a young lady who plays jazz (her name escapes me sorry). The best British players that I know of include Jill Kemp, Pamela Thorby and Red Priest's soloist Piers Adams whom I had the good fortune to hear play the Sammartini concerto for soprano recorder a few months ago - I was sitting a few feet away from him and got to speak with him afterwards (he also played the world premier of Crispin Ward's new concerto for recorder which was excellent)
She's so expressive while she's playing, its almost like she's possessed. I love it. This is the way I want to play and express myself while performing.
Я обращаюсь ко всем музыкантам, которых я видел и слышал в этом видео. Пожалуста, продолжайте делать Ваше дело. Вы заставили меня плакать, ощущение прекрасного может заставить человека испытывать искренние эмоции.
¡Qué fuerza y expresividad de la flautista! Ciertamente, una de las mejores interpretaciones de este clásico de Vivaldi que haya escuchado. Me ha erizado la piel y de haber estado en vivo el impacto habría sido mayor. Bolette Roed, ¡ya eres mi favorita!
Un corcerto meraviglioso con una flautista a dir poco fantastica. Padronanza dello strumento con una tecnica precisissima.molto preparata e passionale. 10 e lode!!!!
Magistral interpretación de una obra para flauta travesera compuesta por el veneciano Antonio Vivaldi que sin duda es unos de los Maestros de la Música Barroca. Deseo resaltar el virtuosismo con que toca este instrumento la danesa Bolette Roed. Escucharla es un autentico regalo para nuestros oídos. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.
I really enjoy how the recorder blends with the orchestra! I think baroque music should be very mellow and blended with period instruments as represented in this performance; but, the recorder is still very emergent when you actively listen for it, bravo.
I had no idea what was a recorder! I know now!! I saw this piece last night and it blew me completely away! The beauty of this is beyond words! My applause💓💓
It takes a tremendous talent to play as well as she. I'v played the flute for 30 years then tried the recorder and ran up against a blank wall. The recorder must be the most difficult to play,
Jim Millen - I suspect they are both equally difficult, it's just that you have 30 years experience with the transverse flute and have forgotten how hard it was to develop a good embouchure. The difficulties with recorder come further down the road: the early stages seem easy and natural, and most beginners are pleased at how quickly they are playing simple tunes. This is both the wonder and the downfall of the recorder, and the reason why it is rarely played well or taken seriously as an instrument. I hope you don't give up - if you can play flute you can play recorder. (from a recorder player)
@@honeychurchgipsy6 they share the repertoire. its very difficult to play the recorder really well.you need to be able to play the different sizes in different keys and transpose, also read the bass clef not to mention difficult techniques, crossfingering etc. no special embouchure required which makes the recorder deceptively simple at the beginning.I play at an advanced level and in an ensemble.We have a teacher who studied the recorder in Amsterdam.
honeychurchgipsy6 - I agree, I am a flute player majoring in performance currently & I picked up my recorder today because I’ve always wanted to learn & be better at plus I think it’s quite an amazing instrument. I love the way you worded your description, there’s a lot of truth in that statement, & I think it’s entirely accurate. While it is quick to first play simple tunes the instrument is quite deceptive when comes to “actual literature/repertoire”. It wasn’t super difficult to learn many of the fingerings as some are identical to flute but it definitely takes some work to develop a solid tone & control! I think control is something that definetly takes time with this instrument especially in the upper register. It takes a decent amount of effort to play high notes at a softer dynamic without them being too piercing. It could be that I’m playing on a plastic one that they us play in elementary school but nonetheless it is a great instrument that should not be overlooked.
I can't get enough of this, I adore it,,i actually get a bit tearful listening, I know its an uplifting concerto,, but that what music does,,(trust I'm a mess with William Byrd and Tallis and such 😉) such a talented group and powerful beautiful red head leading,, brilliant,!!
Beautiful performance, bravo! Gorgeous sounding recorder played by a virtuoso, didn't miss one 32nd note double tounging cleanly without slowing down, my hat down, I know, I played this concerto, virtuosic piece.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful and so rich. I used to play the recorder but that was in elementary school. A long time ago. Lol I do plan on buying a good one so that I can play once again.
@@philchapman7898 - yes, it's very hard to pick out the recorder in the intro, but there are a few tones where it's just audible. Maybe being a recorder player helps.
Bellissima esecuzione! Una grande tecnica e una grande sensibilità per le sfumature dello spartito. Brava, anzi bravissima! Questa interpretazione mi ricorda che l'orchestra dell'Ospedale della Pietà, per la quale scriveva Vivaldi, era composta da sole donne...
Murray and Fiona - I can't understand that opinion because Vivaldi's melodies are so varied and beautiful - to me his work is more varied than other baroque composers.
When you have multi-year contract to write one piece a month you cannot avoid repetitions. In Vivaldi's case, it actually works. Purists cannot help but scoff instead of enjoying and appreciating variations on the themes.
Actually he did, but it doesn't matter; we can listen to his concertos hundreds of times without ever getting bored with his melodies. BTW, the same wisdom is said about other composers with a characteristic style, like Bach, Chopin, Debussy or Astor Piazzolla, for example. No problem. People without imagination cannot put up with the fact that great composers can create innumerable variations to a theme without much effort.
I see that a lot of comments are mentioning the audability, or the lack of it, of the tutti sections, and that there's some debate over it, and it's really good that people show their opinion, based in their senses and perspectives about music, and learn with eachother. For me personally, I can ear the recorder with the tutti, maybe in the very beginning, her tone is blend with the orchestra, that, I think, makes a more darker timbre.

I never knew Vivaldi and the recorder would go so well together! She plays brilliantly.
He wrote this concerto for recorder - so obviously, it better 'go well together'! But I agree, she is amazing.
I love how her face gets so stern when she's playing. _This is serious business, I'm not here to mess around!_
This isn't serious business! This is Vivaldi, or Pete's sake! Wagner, Beethoven they are serious. This is a romp!
Beautiful face.
@Preston Malik no one cares
lol xD
You have to, if you play the recorder. People think you're gonna whip out a bright red plastic special from school.

THIS IS VIVALDI.... PURE PASSION
Exquisite, soulful performance rich in detail and finesse. Thank you!❤️🎼🎵🎶
Beautifully expressed! Vivaldi speaks to our souls through such poignant, heartfelt and finely articulated harmonies.
Ladies & Gentlemen... All this without looking to one single sheet of music ! Absolutely fantastic !
Memorization isn’t the hard thing about music
it's not something to be applauded, memorization is very easy when playing music especially if you've been play for at least more then 4 years
I think she ahs a music stand before if you look at the long shots.
There is no way any human can read at that speed. By the time one has properly learned the piece, muscle memory takes over completely.
Just pure excellence! Thank you for this beautiful performance. All the musicians were fantastic.
00:17 Allegro non Molto
05:14 Adagio
07:35 Allegro non Molto
Jedno z niezapomnianych duchowych przeżyc! Fantastyczna muzyka, takież wykonanie! Balsam dla duszy.

Absolutely superb Recorder playing. Thanks Bolette ❤
wooow. she live piece whe she play. i am charmign. wonderful record wonderful orcestra. thanks for all of musician who played. i couldnt find any word
Fantastic performance. I love the passion this performer brings to the music.
I love this piece of almost all vivaldi pieces.....the virtuosity is there....the soulfulness is there,,,,,like weaving a tapestry
Your technique is masterful! Diletto straordinario 👏🏼👌🏼
I couldn't agree most!!!!!!
This is a beautiful performance
What a perfect performance of Alto Recorder Concerto of Vivaldi.
Virtuoso performance always comes from the heart of the player and she's another one that's got it.
Always fascinating to watch a musician who's really into the music.

merci beaucoup Christian !
it took me a solid minute before i could pick out the recorder sound
James Orr Yeah, I’m not sure if she was playing in the beginning. I think she was just following the tutti part to stay in time?
She was playing the whole time. You can hear it if you know the sound of the recorder well.
it can be barely heard, as it sort of melts into the strings.
