About this item

Lucie Horsch is a brilliant young recorder virtuoso from Amsterdam. Still only 17, she began playing the recorder aged 5 winning numerous prizes and representing the Netherlands at Eurovision 2014 Young Musician of the Year in Cologne. In 2016 she was awarded the Concertgebouw Young Talent Award presented to her by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. For her debut DECCA album Lucie has chosen to record an all Vivaldi programme: I love the music of Vivaldi she writes, its rhythmical, light, energetic and the slow movements are utterly beautiful. Four famous concertos including La notte and La tempesta di mare are recorded alongside transcriptions of some of Vivaldis best-loved melodies, including Cum Dederit from the Nisi Dominus and the aria Vedro con mio diletto from the opera Giustino.
