    Rainer Hersch introduces the Philharmonia Orchestra's 'recorder section'. Performed live at the Royal Festival Hall, London. Descant recorders don't deserve such a bad rep, but they have got one and that's that.

    My art teachers were always telling me that first I had to learn it right so after graduation I could do it wrong on purpose claiming I'm an artist.

    my teachers in primary school had some weird humor:
    they placed detention and the recorder-class in the same room - at the same time.
    needless to say: there were no persistant offenders...
    edit: even i behaved after first detention...

    The recorder, like any musical instrument, is capable of producing sublime beauty or being treated as a joke.
    Listen to many of the works of Baroque masters and you will find how wonderful can be the music of the instruments of the recorder/blok flüte family.

      I suddenly heard in my head Spike Jones introducing his rendition of the "Poet and Peasant Overture" by asking the audience to bear with him in case his orchestra falls apart. He then closes with, "Good luck" before beginning to conduct.

    No one gives the glockenspiel (bells) any love either... Went through high school being treated like a percussionist wannabe, because of bad bell playing stygmas often carried from elementary music classes. But I'd never change to another instrement. You need us for Carol of Bells, Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies, 1812 Overture, and any John Williams piece that highlights every orchestral instrement type.
    But really... Glocks have the beautiful sustained high-tones that make you appreicate the lack of an annoying piccilo in your ensamble. :D

    I played clarinet in 5th Grade (Year 6) band. Dropped out because I hardly practiced and always forgot to ask my parents to get me more reeds. They were quite expensive, from my recollection. A year or two later I got a small Casio electronic keyboard for Christmas and played that thing a good bit. I eventually quit playing with it and donated it to a thrift store.

    I play the recorder occasionally at church. It just have a way too narrow range.
    Well it can go higher if you do the half thumb thingy but it kinda hurts your thumbs if you play for a long time and you have to practice for a long time to get the jump right everytime.
    So in the end, I kinda only play the songs when I don't need to do that, and that's not many songs to choose from, therefore I don't play very often.

    • @ubergeekian
      @ubergeekian 6 місяців тому

      The recorder doesn't have too narrow a range; you have too narrow a range. Take some lessons and you'll find that you have two full chromatic octaves under your fingers. Less than a flute, but good enough for Handel, Bach, Vivaldi ...
