Lucie Horsch - The Frans Bruggen Project
Lucie Horsch (recorders from the historical collection of Frans Bruggen) / Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century, with Rachel Podger (violin)
[ Decca / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 9 December 2022
Lucie Horsch celebrates the legacy of Dutch recorder player and conductor Frans Brüggen (1934-2014). A true pioneer of the early music revival, Brüggen amassed a remarkable collection of historic recorders dating from the 1680s-1740s. Those instruments fell silent upon his death 10 years ago. With special access granted by Brüggen's widow, they have now been revived by one of Brüggen's compatriots. The instruments are so fragile that at times Lucie was only allowed to play two takes on them - "The end result could almost be regarded as a live recording".
"With instruments from different eras and countries, the pitch of the performances naturally varies, as does their individual tone quality...For once it's the instruments that matter more than the music; anyone remotely interested in recorder playing will find it fascinating, and get a reminder of just what an extraordinary musician Brüggen was."
