Frans Brüggen (30 October 1934 – 13 August 2014) began his career largely as a recorder player. Later, he became a leading conductor in the Early Music performance practice movement.
The Answer is Blowing in the Wind
Brüggen introduced a flexibility of tone and rhythm to solo recorder playing that was novel to historically informed performance practice at the time. Such approaches provoked some controversy at the time, but in part due to his use of them, have since become more commonplace. – Wikipedia
Frans Brüggen, with scarcely a rival,
Assured the recorder’s revival.
With ideas of his own
He refreshed what was prone
To be dry, deadly dull, and archival.
