Dutch recorder virtuoso Lucie Horsch announces her new Decca album, a compelling programme of early 18th-century compositions delivered on instruments of the same vintage. The Brüggen Project, out today, just after the 90th anniversary of Brüggen’s birth, takes the listener back to a golden age of instrument making. Its tracklist features fourteen historic recorders, each blessed with its own distinctive sound and musical personality.

Frans Brüggen, a towering figure in the world of period-instrument performance, often played on the historic recorders he acquired during his long and illustrious career. The Dutch musician’s peerless collection largely fell silent after his death ten years ago. Lucie has restored it to vibrant life. The album contains sublime interpretations of ensemble pieces by Marcello, Corelli and J.S. Bach, including the famous Air from the latter’s Third Orchestral Suite and Brüggen’s transcription of his Concerto in E major BWV 1053. It also trains the spotlight on a sequence of solo works that demonstrates the tonal variety and subtle nuances of instruments created three centuries ago in London, Paris, Nuremberg and the Netherlands.
