BK has indeed recorded on an original 8-key Rudall. Not sure which record but it's in the liner notes.radcliffe wrote:mmm,

Something like Barthold Kuijken but on 8 keys rudall...
Hey, I'm doing well here - here's a fascinating resource of samples played on the Collection of the Birmingham Conservatoire (all sorts of instruments - including flutes played by LB).Lisa Beznosiuk (flutes) and Nigel North (lute, guitar)
Concord of Sweet Sounds: Baroque and Classical Music for flute & lute/guitar
Amon Ra CD-SAR 33
This recording is a nice example of HIP flute playing. The first three pieces are Baroque works by Locatelli, J.S. Bach and C.P.E. Bach performed on Baroque lute and Baroque flute. These are nicely done but not particularly unusual, since Baroque music on original instruments is reasonably common these days.
The next four pieces are a little out of the ordinary as they are chosen to be representative of Vienna in the early 19th century (at the time of the Congress of Vienna, actually). This is not a period which attracts as many HIP performances. These pieces are performed on 6 string classical guitar of that period (somewhat different from the modern classical guitar) and 8-key wooden flute. The works are by Giuliani, and arrangements by Diabelli of pieces by Beethoven and Schubert.
This is not really my favourite period in music history, since it seems to me that too often arpeggios were mistaken for melody, and modulation into another key for melodic development. However, the pieces selected have a certain charm, and allow Beznosiuk to display her very capable technique very effectively without being hidden behind a wall of vibrato. She does have a very slight natural vibrato, but it is quite subtle. All in all, very pleasant listening.
