The Dutch Lucie Horsch is one of today’s most exquisite instrumentalists, a virtuoso who never fails to demonstrate the versatility of the recorder. She feels particularly close to the concertos of the Baroque period, whether they were originally written for the recorder or are arrangements.
She already caused a sensation at the age of nine, went on to represent her country at the 2014 Eurovision talent contest of young musicians, and won the Concertgebouw’s talent award in 2016. Her Vivaldi record, which she recorded at the age of 17, was enthusiastically received the world over. “She knows all there is to know about the instrument. This meets with a musicianship that makes Vivaldi’s high-spirited music the mother tongue of her recorder,” a reviewer wrote.
The nineteen-year-old artist, who in 2017–2018 is featured by acclaimed early music ensembles and modern orchestras, brings a diverse and virtuosic programme to Budapest.
