It is not very natural to make dynamic changes with the recorder. When you play a long note and want to make a diminuendo, the pitch will fall, and vice versa. So you need to adjust these with your fingers.

It is important to note that the world changes and that perception of music changes as well.

Each composer has their own language, and I try to meet the challenges, even if at first sight, they appear impossible.

Of course, the recorder will never have the repertoire of the piano or the violin.

Many people used to call me a child prodigy, but I never thought that. I knew that I had learned everything, that I had very good circumstances.

When you play the oboe, the flute or other wind instruments, there is something between you and the breath; there is the embouchure, the reed, etc. But with the recorder, I receive an immediate response from the instrument. This is something that attracted me to the instrument, that I could immediately feel the response of what I was doing.

I've always been very inspired by people who can make their instrument sound very natural.
