I've never seen a Baroque piccolo traverso before! So cute puppy! :D
Extremely apt explanations and stunning demonstrations! Uncanny how Alexis Kossenko plays so many flutes with such different embouchures with such wonderful spot-on timbre (not to mention the finger breakers).
Embouchure is a myth.
my jaw dropped when he played the mozart sonata on the one keyed flute. 🤯
I love historical flutes!
oops i meant concerto. I'm sure someone would've corrected me lol.
This was fantastic -- thank you both for this! I play a simple system flute, and I really love them. I'm very much interested in flute history as well.
Amazing that he had such a command of such a variety of flutes.
Piccolo is cute and sounds more similar to recoder than the others.
Oh my stars that Louis Lot belonged to Donjon! I’m dead. I would give anything to play it
what a beauty lessons by master Kossenko! Thank you!

The great thing about wooden flutes is how well they burn in the fire.
I have two of these flutes of the 1830s. I don't know if they are originals or copys, because they're heritage. But I thought they were older.
Much prefer historic flutes, as opposed to the horrible monstrosity of the Boheme flute! The Boheme flute is boring and soulless!
You are talking utter nonsense. Mozart for instance didn't compose for flute because the damn things were false. If the Boehm flute had been around, Mozart would have left us with fantastic music specifically written for flute.
@@stavrosk.2868 please educate yourself before you make a fool of yourself. Mozart did write flute concerti as did composers before and after him.
If you like the sound of the soulless, metal monstrosity fair enough- I tend to trust that the composers knew the instruments for which they were writing - including their strong and weak points and using these to their advantage!
Historically accurate performance all the way not metal monstrosities which play in a temperament which is as dull as the metal monstrosity itself (modem equal temperament).
Mozart said so himself, in a letter to his father. He said he couldn’t abide the sound of a solo flute and found it difficult to compose for a flute. Mozart was struggling to fulfill a commission from an amateur musician for numerous flute works (including his two concertos for the instrument) when he penned those disparaging words to his father; he sounds like a procrastinating student making excuses for not finishing his homework:
“I never have a quiet hour here … besides, one is not always in the mood for working. I could certainly scribble things the whole day long, but when a composition of this kind goes out into the world, naturally I do not want to to be ashamed of my name on the title page. Moreover, you know I am quite powerless to write for an instrument [the flute] which I cannot bear.”
Supposedly he once made a joke: “What’s worse than the sound of a flute? - Two flutes.” I don’t know if the joke is a true story, but the letter to his father is quite real. He could have meant he didn’t think much of the performer, more than his opinion of the flute and didn’t want his name on something that would not be performed well.
Certainly, as you pointed out, his compositions for the flute don’t come across as something he detested.
@@stavrosk.2868 never the less, he still wrote works for the instrument and even used it in his orchestral compositions!
Moreover, as most composers of his day relied on commissions and patronage, it is possible he would have to write for instruments or players of such that were not his favourite.
Finally, as you state his flute concerti are really quite lovely.
Yes, lovely when played on a modern flute. Using baroque or renaissance instruments restricts the music and the keys you can play in without sounding weak and/or false. I guess you'll hate Bach for his tempered clavier as well. Each one his own.....
