Philip Pickett, Anthony Pleeth, David Roblou - The Virtuoso Recorder
Review by Saransh Chopra
The album The Virtuoso Recorder by Philip Pickett, Anthony Pleeth, and David Roblou is a stunning collection of baroque music that showcases the incredible talent of these three musicians. The recorder, a woodwind instrument that is often overlooked in classical music, takes center stage in this album, with Pickett's virtuosic playing and Pleeth's rich cello accompaniment creating a beautiful and intricate sound.
The album features pieces by some of the most famous composers of the baroque era, including Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. Each piece is expertly arranged and performed, with Pickett's recorder taking on the melodies and Pleeth's cello providing a rich and supportive foundation.
One standout track on the album is Bach's Sonata in G Minor, which features a stunning duet between Pickett's recorder and Pleeth's cello. The two instruments weave in and out of each other, creating a beautiful and complex musical tapestry.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser fein komponierten Triosonate in verschiedenen Tempi mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Blockflöte, tiefem doch ebenso gut phrasiertem Ton des Violoncellos und zurückgehaltenem doch schimmerndem Klang des Cembalos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den drei Virtuosen ist wahrhaft eindrucksvoll. Einfach wunderbar!
Wunderschöne Interpretaton dieser perfekt komponierten und fein arrangierten Triosonate im lebhaften Tempo mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton der Blockflöte, tiefem doch ebenso gut phrasiertem Ton des Violoncellos und zurückgehaltenem doch schimmerndem Klang des Cembalos. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den drei Virtuosen ist wahrhaft eindrucksvoll. Einfach wunderbar!
The instrument at 409 sounds so nice, much better than raised to 415 ones.
Nicolas Chédeville made a secret agreement in 1737 with Jean-Noël Marchand to publish a collection of his own compositions as Vivaldi's. Long attributed to Vivaldi, the set of 6 sonatas tOp.13 ; RV 54-59 are actually the work of Chédeville ...
thank you for sharing this
So lovely & innocent is the sound of the recorder and yet it
can be played with high virtuosity. Much enjoyed ~ thanks !

Lovely, lively performance! My own personal recital! For my ears only! The velvet sound emanating from the treble recorder is exquisite! When these marvelous instrumentalists show what they can do, i solo or meshing together as one, the effect is stunning! Each is expertly accomplished; a pleasure to hear alone, and as a ensemble raising Cain to the rafters! Their luscious melodies echo throughout the sanctuary, salon or recital hall. Many, many thanks! Your choices in the Baroque are always thrilling and pleasing to the heart!!
