Conservatory, microtonality, overtone flute and Quantz/Erik Bosgraaf

Our guest today is the outstanding recorder player Erik Bosgraaf.  https://www.erikbosgraaf.com Erik is a visiting professor at the Krakow Academy of Music in Poland and gives master classes all over the world. He also teaches the famous recorder class at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, where he himself studied. He is widely regarded as one of the most virtuosic recorder players in the world and certainly the most inspiring, with endless possibilities. His repertoire ranges from medieval music to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the music of tomorrow. As a soloist, he is regularly invited to conduct the orchestra himself.  In today's interview, we talk about the etymology of the word "recorder," the vibe of Amsterdam in music, reading music as an important skill, and Darina will turn into a strange thing at the end of the episode! The piece of the episode - a sonata by J. J Quantz, written for recorder, traverso and basso continuo.

Om Podcasten

Hello dear friends! Welcome to our brand new podcast dedicated to sight-reading. Why sight-reading? We want to show the behind-the-scenes of music-making. We begin each episode with our initial thoughts on a new score as well as musings about style, aesthetics, and instruments. We challenge ourselves to apply our understanding of historical practices to achieve a more musical reading of a given text. Whether you are amateur musicians looking for tips on sight-reading and insight into historical performance or a seasoned musician, we would be happy if you joined us.
