This was the bridal entry to my wedding my lovely wife in 1965.
@Fermati Chebellosei
Older, of course. but still my very own loveliest !
Wow. La entrada de la reina de la casa❤
Merveilleuse ❤❤❤
This stunning playing is a reminder that this was always considered a serious instrument by composers, we have forgotten that.
It was at one time the one and ONLY flute. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, no. This is an arrangement, the original piece is not written for flute. Not to say this here isn't wonderful, it just isn't a reminder for anything.
Since Frans Bruggen the recorder is definively not forgotten in the Netherlands though , as is the historical practice of "oude muziek" on period instruments!
@@gemine4326ok, just enjoy the arrangement and that's it, don't just ruin it with your negativity and absolutely knowledge in music, which is very honorable. Just enjoy the piece. Simple as that.
@@lagelyta This isn't meant to decrease the value of this wonderful performance. I love this piece and have heard it probably 200 times as it is in my Spotify most listened playlist. I just don't like people spitting out thigs that are untrue just to say something.
there is such laser-like clarity, directness, purity of sound in those treble recorders in the right hands.
They are descant recorders
sopranos
@@jimmorgan5612 they are the same thing, it just depends on where you live. I believe in America most people say soprano and Alto whereas other countries say decant and treble.
Also they sound better because they're not shitty $10 lumps of plastic like the ones we used in school...
@@midgepug7897 well yes, but with the recorder it depends mostly on the player. you can play decently on a plastic recorder, too, if you're good. there are videos of professionals proving a point by playing on 5€ ones.
I must’ve heard this piece 1000 times, but it’s a first time I ever heard it played with recorders, and it’s absolutely outstanding! How have I not heard this before? Well done ladies!
I once played it with an ensemble entirely made up of recorders. I seriously got the chills.
Maybe because one of those talented girls was only 14 at the time of this recording ☺
Stunning is right!! Bravo from Montreal!!
Pure heaven
Ditto. Marvellous!
That recorder duet is world class. Well done Lucie and Charlotte.👍🏻
La grande classe, merci
It really warms my heart to see modern adult people play a baroque piece.. it's so pure.
I used to dislike the recorder because the teacher was awful, but when I saw you playing, I realized how wonderful it is
Hannah I got a good teacher who said ''It's not a toy"
Like the ukulele, it's often seen as a fun instrument that's easy to play but difficult to master.
@@johnm2012 sadly a badly-played ukelele sounds like the wrong notes, whereas a badly-played recorder is ear-splitting.
You should listen to Vivaldi’s recorder concertos. They are awesome
Recorder is quite good instrument. I used to play it when I was at primary school. It's trivial - you only need to know grips. The sound is clear and able to change dynamics.
1:39 - 1:52 ist so ein lebendig geglückter Lauf! Lucie Horsch ist die Freude im Blick auf Charlotte anzusehen.
Überhaupt liebe ich es, wenn sich Musiker mit schnellen Seitenblicken Anerkennung und Wohlgefallen zollen.
They attacked this with vigor, enthusiasm, and love. Bravo.
Bravi*
@@tecnomusicevo if you want to get technical it would be "brave", since it's two ladies ;) but in any case, they're amazing!
@@inesdeerausquin5658 yeah but it's bravi because I'm referring to the entire orchestra (i musicisti sono stati bravi), I'm Italian I think I know my language 🤣
I used to look on it as a toy, but this is fabulous
Big love from Sheba (Yemen) I love it
My cat also loves Sheba!!!
@@luganikos249 really hahahah
@@queenofshebayemen9637 It's the best catfood in Switzerland!!!
@@luganikos249 Aha I understood 😋
What? You’re still there???
Amazing how so few instruments can sound like so many. Good to see such enthusiastic young players.
You know what I liked best about this wonderful interpretation? The young people playing their parts! This is how classical music lives on, when young people become captivated by the masterpieces of past masters, they then go on to learn how to play different musical instruments. Big, huge, WOW!!!!!❤
An outstanding performances by all, especially by the recorders they bring a special kind of 'brilliance and liveliness' to this piece. Clearly they all enjoyed playing together and we, as listeners reaped the benefit. Thanks for sharing. Well done each and everyone of you. Loved it.
Playing baroque music with a recorder is unusual, but these two ladies Handeled it.
I finally see the recorder as a real musical instrument! ❤️
Just stumbled across this video. It has taken my breath away.
The sound of their Recorders is out of this world, and stains in my soul
Crisp and sprightly tempo...recorder players are simply outstanding. Lovely to the ear and mind. Thank you for your virtuosity.
Wunderbares Stück mit tollen Musikern! 🎉🎶🎶
How beautiful. How can a human mind compose such fantastic music, it is a wonder. And performed with world class virtuosity❤❤❤
this piece is something else with recorders, the oboes normally just end up being muffled by the violins, but the recorders stay nice and clear, brilliant
Great! It’s just marvelous, the sound of the hall, the video quality and obviously a great interpretation of all the musicians. Brilliant!
Judging by all the icons that looks like an orthodox church rather than just a hall.
But yes, wonderful performance!
@@doristheslug9609 It's the (High Anglican) church of St-Jude-on-the-Hill, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London - designed by Lutyens.
TB, I agree that it's just marvellous, EXCEPT for one aspect of the video. On many occasions when both recorders are in view and being played, Lucie is in focus but Charlotte is slightly out of focus, even if she is in the foreground. I realise that the video is promoting Lucie's album, but this is poor camera work.
How on 🌎 can anybody give them thumbs down!!! As a jazz/latin recorder player I respect and admire these two young ladies on the classical art form.... Very impressive.
Truly outstanding. First time I heard Charlotte play. To hear Lucie and Charlotte together is just sublime.
A great team.
I remember when I signed up for UA-cam and searched for recorders - there weren't any so I posted some very amateurish videos of me playing my ones - now 10+ years on we have these fabulous videos! Recorders are wonderful and very underappreciated instruments! This is beautifully played!
You should check put viva vivaldi with cicilia bartoli (sp?)

Here's something very different, Rhapsody ua-cam.com/video/zuu5_tO1EG8/v-deo.html
I think I must have seen your video, because when I first came on UA-cam, that's about all there was for recorders!
I gave it a like just out of principle.
@@yugandali thanks! I don't post much anymore! I'm not professional at all, just sad that there were hardly any recorder videos at the time!
Hi. I really love baroque music, expecially Händel. I send my greetings to Lucie and all of you who played this beautyful piece. Many greetings from Hungary. 😀😉👋🇭🇺
World-class. Often heard but never in this clarity.
Thanks for everyone's skills to bring this alive.
Ten of thousands of hours of practice and patience has brought our ears this and all the other performances that we now love and listen to over and over again!
Listen to the phrasing, the expression, the blend, the depth of performance...everything is here. GF Handel would be pleased to hear this rendition.
Agreed!
The entire group was fantastic and the way the two ladies played the recorder was beautiful! It is like the recorder was and extension of their voices. Just beautiful!
The recorder is said to be the closest instrument to the human voice
When I think about the work that goes into playing pieces like this, I am so happy to see young people putting in the work, my own failed attempts to,learn instruments aside it is nice t nhear the classics live on in the young musicians
Two of the best young recorder players, playing together. So cool
A pity that Lucie couldn't even acknowledge the presence of the other recorder player.
I would have thought it was warm, much more than cool.
This performance captures the exuberance and excitement of an event Handel was describing - the best I have seen. A reference performance imo. The recorders are extraordinary. Thanks.
Yes, BRAVO! This performance is amazing.❤
Both girls play very good the recorders. Congratulations!!
This wonderful performance embodies embodies the spiritual aesthetics of Handel and the world of the Old Testament
Absolutely breathtaking, the whole ensemble was brilliant.
Regards from South Africa
Herr Handel would be delighted to hear his fabulous music thus rendered, I'm sure!
So happy to see Ms Charlotte B Condini moving up, the winner of a recorder competition some years ago
The faces of all the performers are so serious and passionate and focused that I'm about to cry.
Just looking at your expressions makes me feel numb.
What a wonderful performance. So intense and alive.
Totally inspiring for all musicians
One of my favorite pieces of music and I've never heard it arranged for recorders before. Just love the recorders!
I feel like I am witnessing the arrival of the Queen of Sheba with mysterious∼looking Handel
Thank you, Ms. Horsch and Ms. Barbour-Condini. This makes my jaded old ear happy.
Yes, stunning is the right word. Wonderful playing, all of you!
I feel transported to the stars by the sheer magnificence and beauty of the music.
What a remarkable performance by the young ladies & their recorders
This is the most uplifting performance of this piece I've ever heard.
That's purely baroque, congratulations! 👏👏👏
An absolutely brilliant performance. Vigorous, masterful work by all. What a blessing!
heard it thousand times, so young and vibrant. 11 out of 10. Fantastic!
Who could have thought the recorder could sound so good !!
Amazing❤❤❤
Quel esprit lyrique et dansant ! C'est vraiment une très belle interprétation !
Beautiful. Love the vibe the recorders put in it. Absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏👏😊😊
To me those most amazing sounds portray the beauty of the earth we live in, far beyond the greatness of the queen of sheeba.
Just found this beautiful rendition of Handle, what a lifting feeling from theses dark times, long live mankind's lifting music
This song makes me feel the happiest person in the world. It feels like everything is possible.
Ja,da kommt Freude auf 👍👍🌹
I almost didn't watch this because it said " recorders" in the title. Seldom have I seen such a delightfully refreshing rendition of this piece! I absolutely loved it! Well done 🎶🎻
Greetings from South Africa 👋🇿🇦
Hi there... Look!! I too am from Southern Africa. How do you do?
@@antoniobritto5736 hello Antonio
@@lindadavies6109hi🤗
There are some brilliant recorder players in Cape Town
I never would have thought recorders could sound so good. I just remember them as an instrument from school that nobody could play. Wonderful rendition.
What a talent, I could listen to Lucie all day.
Splendid playing of this famous piece
The most beautiful sound in the world
I loved playing this in chamber orchestra because the Violas finally get to play something cool sounding
My God, this must be so joyous to play!
Bravo Ladies ...... WELL DONE !!!!!!
Love the piece and the performance, but I also love that everyone is dressed casually. While formal clothes certainly look nice, it's good to be reminded that this music wasn't always a Very Serious Thing, but was enjoyed by everyone.
What a glorious sound. Congratulations to all involved
Having learned to play the recorder at school ( about a hundred years ago ) I’m so impressed by the two young ladies playing this difficult piece with such skill, so very talented.
Brilliant performance.
Love how you see a few musicians smiling as the music is truly uplifting.
Then at the end the Ms. Horsch herself is so concentrated still that she keeps a pokerface.
And the violinist at the left has frozen.
I've heard this melody so many times, yet never known the name until now. Fabulous performance!
It’s so gratifying to see so many energetic young people in-sync with Baroque Musick even down to the use of the pre-1773 bows - it is regrettable that we don’t see as many examples as this in these days of ‘insolent pop music noise’ among to-day’s woefully ignorant younger generation - May this small example from the great Handel be an example to them of what they COULD be listening-to !!
Agree.
i give you as a musicien all my good feelings,Great Yhank You all!!
These recorders add a baroque touch, I love it!
Gems to my ears 🙂
So beautiful!!! My favorite piece of music just breathtaking.
Wow! Das reißt einem ja vom Stuhl!
I didn't play this at primary school!
LUCIE ,, É UMA PAIXÃO ,LOIRINHA ,
BONITA E SIMPÁTICA ...
Good! the solos and the duets something from heaven!!!!
Instrumental joy! Great performance. Greetings from Sweden
Dear gifted young artists. How deeply delightful, to listen to this racy performance! I've been affectionated with baroque music for more than 25 years but I've never heard a recorder transcription of Handels Arrival of the Queen of Sheba before. This, in notes and play, is real mastership!
Lucie has excellent taste.
It's not just their brilliant playing... it's such a GOOD choon, isn't it !?
🌹It’s nice to see Lucie Horch playing with Charlotte Barbour Condini. I haven’t seen or heard anything from Charlotte Barbour Condini since she won the BBC woodwind section for young musicians.🌹
Thanks Autumn for mentioning the other players name.
This is fantastic. The interaction between the two of you is amazing too. It's always great to see musicians enjoying what they do.
Jakie tempo, wow...!😮👋👌🎼🎵🎶🌹
Utterly charming, gratia.
That. Is. Superb! Outstanding! Love the recorder ladies!
I love this masterpiece.
Lucie en Charlotte.
Pracht werk meisjes.
Proficiat, ik kan er geen ander woord voor vinden. Die blok fluiten, spreken luider dan een heel koor of orkest in jullie handen. Wat een prestatie, Als klein meisje heb ik altyd geleerd, de echte Nederlandse uutdruking, Oranje boven. Nou daar zyn jullie beiden een glanzend exemplaar van, Zo ziet de rest van de wereld dat Netherlands weet muziek te maken, met de beste van de beste, en als de beste die er bestaan.
Heel veel success voor jullie verderen carriere.
Gorgeous! Joy of Living!
Wonderful, thanks for your good music, your playing style well and good 100%🌴🌳🌾
I'm speechless. Lucie Horsch is just incredible..One of the greatest aces I have ever heard...
The recorders are fantastic! Such tuning and feeling of ensemble. I'm taken aback by this version - it's amazing!
Very beautiful!!!
Beautiful!!!
