About Wilbert Hazelzet

Wilbert Hazelzet is dedicated since 1970 exclusively to the baroque flauto traverso. He studied the ancient instrumental techniques and the performance of the music from the 18th century according to contemporary treatises about flute playing and singing. Considered by many as the leading baroque flute player, in 1978 he became a member of Musica Antiqua Köln and with this world-famous ensemble he appeared in Japan, India, China, the USA, Canada, and all over Europe, from Finland to Portugal and from Eire to Russia.

He now forms permanent duos with Jacques Ogg, harpsichord, and with Konrad Junghänel, lute. He is the first flautist of Ton Koopman's Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, has made recordings for numerous radio and TV stations all over the world and for several recording companies such as DGG, Erato, Harmonia Mundi and, now, Glossa. Wilbert Hazelzet is also a Professor at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague.
