The Dutch recorder player Lucie Horsch gained attention in her early teens on Dutch television as a youth star, and her first album, 2016’s Vivaldi, seemed to promise great things. That promise has been fulfilled in 2019 with Baroque Journey, whose title refers both to temporal and national ranges. Beginning and ending with entrancing excerpts from the Dutch recorder collection Der Fluyten Lust-Hof, Horsch moves through German, Italian, and French repertory of various periods. The Bach Oboe Concerto in D minor, BWV 1059R, a work of uncertain provenance anyhow, works wonderfully in a recorder arrangement, and there are genuine and rarely heard recorder concertos by Giuseppe Sammartini and Jacques-Christophe Naudot. Horsch’s tonal stability in slower music (she does a gorgeous recorder “When I am laid in earth”) is exceeded only by her liveliness and precision in the fast movements. And best of all are the variation sets, liquid and altogether captivating. Sample the 14e Ordre from the Troisième Livre of Couperin’s Pièces de clavecin (a work that you’d hardly think would work in a recorder-and-lute arrangement), and you’ll be hearing nightingales for the rest of the evening. In the concertos, Horsch gets expert support from the Academy of Ancient Music under Bojan Čičić, supplying quiet, graceful accompaniment that doesn’t overwhelm Horsch and lets her shine. Right now, Horsch is sounding like the next Michala Petri, or maybe even more than that.

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.

A bonus is the first movement of Spring from The Four Seasons transcribed in 1775 by Jean Jacques Rousseau.
