Cuttings in English | Dutch | French | German | Spanish In the press Their
homogenious and crystal clear sound, their technical perfection and stylish
interpretation are the unmistakable trade mark of the Flanders Recorder
Quartet's ensemble playing. There is a perfection and purity nearing the ethereal
to be found in this new recording of Matthew Locke's English consort music.
Here is yet another impressive example of the way these four musicians
invariably succeed in conjuring a magical musical experience." A very
good recorder manual with excellent cd-recording to play along. (K. Reiser, Tibia) The
renditions of Bach's music that the Quartet produced were more joyous than Bach's --who is the
absolute master-- own versions of the pieces by Vivaldi that he had rewritten
for organ... There was a preciseness of intonation, a remarkable phrasing,
organic feeling of style, an austere but inventive rhythm... The real
music-lovers found in the performance of Flanders Recorder Quartet: a
brilliant mastery of instrumental technique, a deep understanding of Bach,
both in spirit and in word (note)... As they also did in the other pieces,
the quartet performed with easy elegance as if playing the recorder was a
simple hobby. There was no end to the enthusiasm and admiration of the
audience." (V.Rannev in "Kommercant", The
audience was overwhelmed by Bach and Vivaldi in ever new arrangements, and by the charm of
the musicians" The
superb concert by the Flanders Recorder Quartet… was one of the best classical performances
overall in (Shepherd Express Metro, USA) Recorder
Quartet dazzles with skill, speed, soul… Blazing speed, the sharpest ensemble
precision and rhythm, intensely present sound, flawless intonation, clear and
compelling phrasing, and a startling range of dynamics on instruments that
are supposed to have almost none at all. (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, USA) |
