Marion Verbruggen is known for her magnetic performances, which demonstrate not only her skills as a recorder player, but also her understanding of the repertoire. She makes playing the recorder look effortless, switching easily between the tenor-, alto-, and soprano-voiced instruments during any recital or concert. She can also play florid ornaments, crisp accents, and smoothly liquid passages while maintaining ideal breath control. Verbruggen adds subtlety of shading and vibrancy to her music, having what one reviewer called a "flip sense of articulation."

This is a delightful, inventive, witty, charming, enchanting, inspiring disc. In the Verbruggen disc, only four of the six sonatas appear together, plus one other trio sonata (BWV 1031). Perhaps Ms. Verbruggen thought that BWV 526 and 528 did not translate well to the recorder. In any event, the recorder and the harpsichord are outstanding here, as is the recording quality. Highest recommendation.

If only for his melodic genius, Handel would have been forever acknowledged as one of history's greatest composers. These delightful sonatas for recorder provide abundant evidence to support that claim, and Marion Verbruggen's warm, resonant recorder and brilliant flute prove the perfect partners for bringing these rarely heard pieces to life.

Der Fluyten Lust-Hof (The Flute's Garden of Delights) contains almost all Van Eyck's work. Volume I, which was essentially a reprint of an earlier book, Euterpe (1644), appeared in 1649; Volume II was published in 1654. This printed collection of 17th century European popular tunes contains in its two volumes some 150 pieces or sets of variations based on 120 tunes.

Much of Bach's music is abstract enough that it can easily be arranged for new instrumental combinations, and often was by the composer himself. The music for unaccompanied violin and for unaccompanied cello forms an exceptional case; the sonatas and partitas for solo violin were part of a long tradition of virtuoso violin music to which Bach was making a conscious contribution, and the six suites for solo cello were written as extensions of the ideas in the violin pieces. Transferring the cello suites to a solo recorder, which is incapable of executing many details of the cello scores, is thus something Bach probably wouldn't have countenanced. ..

"We became 'infected' with the desire to arrange The Four Seasons for our own instrument. In order to present Vivaldi's 'famous four' in a new light, we use the whole range of recorders from sopranino to contrabass in F. Our 'cello', a bass recorder in C. by F. von Huene, was specially built for this project." - Joris van Goethem

This cd contains one of the best performances of Telemann's well-known A Minor Suite for recorder and strings. Sarah Cunningham is a fine recorder player, and Monica Hugget plays first violin and directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment, who play on period instruments. The strings play with very little or no vibratto, which might sound a bit dry to some listeners, but the elegance and precision of this band will win over many others. The A Minor Concerto for recorder is also given an enjoyable performance, but the remaining pieces, a Suite in D for Viola da gamba, and a Sinfonia in F for recorder and gamba are less pleasing, mainly because the gamba playing of Marion Verbruggen is somewhat less than exciting.

Every piece on this Newberry release is temperate and balanced, just as the musical culture and domestic society were in the countries now known as the Netherlands and Belgium.
While a certain blandness creeps into the instrumental selections, pieces by Nicholas a Kempis, Tarquinio Merula and John Coperario reveal a sharper, more personal profile. Most striking are the vocal-instrumental esoterica–the brightly serene "Je veux mon doux Sauveur" by an anonymous composer and the richly embellished "Avertisti faciem" by Constantijn Huygens, both works sweetly sung by the remarkable countertenor Drew Minter.

Over the past three or four decades early music has changed from elitist and hardly known to being widely performed and appreciated. With the growing popularity of early music the recorder has emancipated from that rather ill-reputed “instrument to introduce children to music” to a serious musical instrument in its own right. Several highly successful recorder ensembles and soloists are proof of this change.
