Now here is a beautiful Baroque piece with recorder replacing the usual violin solo:
Arcangelo Corelli - "La Folia" Sonata in D Minor, Op. 5 No. 12
with Recorder (instead of Violin) and Basso
..
^ I feel the recorder in this version of "La Folia" holds its own remarkably well compared to the original where the violin plays the solo as intended by A. Corelli, especially considering what a simple little instrument a recorder is.
What's this?!? You don't remember hearing A. corelli's "La Folia" with violin, you say?? Well, luckily for you, even though it was posted earlier in this thread (partly by me), I am posting it again so that you can compare the recorder and violin versions.
My other reason is that I feel this is one of the finest pieces composed everrrrr!! If I were stuck on a desert island with only one piece of music to listen to until I perished ten days later of dehydration, I think this would be the song I'd select:
Arcangelo Corelli - "La Folia" Sonata in D Minor, Op. 5 No. 12
with Violin and Basso
..
