The Flanders Recorder Quartet

The Flanders Recorder Quartet is a professional recorder group whose members, based in Holland and Belgium, are Bart Spanhove, Tom Beets, Joris van Goethem and Paul van Loey. The quartet is one of a handful of ensembles inspiring a recorder renaissance. Begun in 1987 and vaulted to prominence in 1990 by winning the Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges, Belgium, the group travels the world giving concerts with over 150 instruments, part of its own vast collection that includes recorders dating back to 1511, copies of instruments owned by Henry VIII, and a rare contemporary sub-bass measuring 7.5 feet.
