Barthold Kuijken

Barthold Kuijken (Flute)

Born: 8th March 1949, Dilbeek

Nationality: Belgian

Barthold Kuijken (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈbɑrtɔlt ˈkœykə(n)]; born 8 March 1949, Dilbeek) is a Belgian flautist and recorder player, known for playing baroque music on historical instruments and particularly known for pioneering this manner of performance with his brothers, cellist and viol player Wieland Kuijken and violinist Sigiswald Kuijken, and the harpsichordist Gustav Leonhardt.

He studied the modern flute at the Bruges Conservatory and the Royal Conservatories of Brussels and The Hague. For playing early music he originally turned to the recorder. Research on authentic instruments, frequent collaboration with various flute and recorder makers, and assiduous study of sources of the 17th and 18th centuries have helped him to specialize in performance on original instruments.
