Is that bass flute a traverso flute or a bass recorder?
In the jazz recordings and the Hyperion recording, it's a flute, not recorders.
And while you are doing that research: what, exactly, is a flute d'amore?
A flute d'amore is a flute that sounds a third lower than the standard flute (just like the oboe d'amore) There are quite a few pieces that survive from the baroque period including music by Molter and Telemann, with Graupner having about 2 dozen pieces for the flute d'amore (suites, cantatas with obbligato movements, etc). I *think* the Pastoral sinfonia from Bach's Christmas Oratorio was written for 2 flutes d'amore (or there is speculation he wrote it for those instruments but changed it later-- I'll have to demure to the Bach experts on that).
