Bach Flute Works / Barthold Kuijken, Gustav Leonhardt

Bart’s performance that always sets an example for Traverso performance. It’s definitely the pinnacle of playing these pieces. The flute, which sounds really good from bass to treble with accurate intonation, is as natural as exhaling (although it is exhaling). It was recorded in 1988, so it’s not too early, but it feels like it was released to the world “with full satisfaction.” Brüggen was much faster to record on the original flute, and Konrad Hünteler and others had already recorded all the songs around this time. When I listen to Bart’s performance again, I think he is definitely the best flutist in the world. #baroque #bach #片山俊幸
