    To those with reservations regarding the alto recorder, I would like to invite them to listen to the opening passages of Bach's 'mourning' cantata no.106, ' Gottes Zeit ist die Allerbeste Zeit .'

    The two recorders express an air of sepulchral solemnity - a hollow tone, ideally suited to the occasion. These, plus two viola da gambas, " their veiled timbre belongs to the very essence of the music " to quote Albert Schweitzer, provide an atmosphere & aural experience unobtainable with modern instruments.

    i have just watched the young lady's performance again on iPlayer astonishing playing ....
    "Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.”

    I love the way the recorders get 'the last word ' at the very end of this piece.

    Agreed! The whole cantata (a very early one) is a most affecting piece. The soprano Ja, Komm and the tenor In Deine Hande...leave me speechless.

    PS I have an old recording by Wolfgang Gonnenwein with Cosortium Musicum. Just love it....pre-HIPP but actually quite naturally HIPP through being born of the tradition.
