This grade of football did not pose any problem to Shields's side, as they reached the final in 2008. St Vincent's provided the opposition on that occasion; however, 'the Barr's' were held to a draw. The replay a week later was more conclusive. St Finbarr's won by 2–13 to 0–14, giving Shields a County Premier Intermediate Championship winners' medal.

It was more heartbreak for the Blues in 2017 where again they lost to Nemo Rangers after a replay. These years of hurt finally came to an end in 2018 when the Barrs' beat Duhallow in the decider, giving Shields his first Senior county winners medal. St Finbarr's defeated Clonakilty in the 2021 final on a scoreline of 0-14 to 0-13, adding another county medal to his collection. Shields came on as a second-half substitute.

Since 1980 he has performed on stage and recorded with the Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble, the Bach Collegium Japan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, the Polish ensemble 'Arte dei Suonatori', and many other ensembles, with regular tours of Japan, the United States, Israel, Australia and across Europe.
20231101.en_13204676_1	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Laurin	Dan Laurin	Laurin compliments his work as a performing musician by maintaining an active teaching schedule and includes professorships at The Carl Nielsen Academy of Music in Odense; The Conservatory of Music in Gothenburg, Sweden and the Royal Conservatory of Music in Copenhagen. Recently, Laurin was appointed professor of the recorder and teaches at Stockholm's Royal College of Music and at Trinity College in London. He researches and lectures on many areas of interpretation, music aesthetics, recorder acoustics, sound techniques, and performance issues.
20231101.en_13204676_2	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Laurin	Dan Laurin	Laurin is acknowledged as the foremost player of the recorder active today. He has explored and widened the sonic possibilities of the recorder and has an unequalled technical facility. His playing explores a wide palette of tonal colours and a striking control of dynamics; the expressiveness of his playing is marked by a freedom in moving from the mutest pianissimo to a clear forte within hairbreadth spaces of time. His interpretations combine thoughtful musical structure with highly wrought ornamentation and a sometimes wild sense of fantasy. His command of improvisation within a strong understanding of harmonic structure brings to 17th- and 18th-century music something of the spirit of jazz masters such as Charlie Parker. Yet, Laurin's interpretations remain sensitive to the aesthetic and spirit of older music, as his many thoughtful essays on his repertoire reveal.
20231101.en_13204676_3	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Laurin	Dan Laurin	Laurin's unique interpretative style is perhaps best exhibited in his many recordings of Vivaldi, culminating in a recording of the Four Seasons released in August 2006. His efforts to broaden the repertoire and to gain for the recorder the status of a concert instrument together with a large orchestra has resulted in several concertos that are already considered classics. His 1994 album The Swedish Recorder, earned him a prize from the Swedish Association of Composers. This, along with three other albums (The Japanese Recorder, Vivaldi Recorder Concertos and Telemann/Bach (Fantasias/Solo works)) resulted in a Grammy award. Commissions include recorder concertos by Daniel Börtz, Henrik Strindberg, Fredrick Österling, as well as by Chiell Meijering, Vito Palumbo and Christofer Elgh.

In 2011, he received the "Interpretation Prize" from the Royal Swedish Academy of Music.
20231101.en_13204676_5	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan%20Laurin	Dan Laurin	Laurin collaborated with the Australian instrument maker Fred Morgan to advance recorder design, and this resulted in a succession of reconstructions of instruments from earlier times, including an instrument that was designed specifically for Laurin's 9-CD recording of Jacob van Eyck's monumental Der Fluyten Lust-hof (BIS-CD-775/780), the largest work ever written for a wind instrument. Laurin has trained some of the leading young recorder virtuosi in Europe and beyond.

20231101.en_13204692_1	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	Born in Bantry, County Cork, Canty arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Cork minor team, before later joining the under-21 side.

He also plays with the Carbery divisional team. He first came to prominence with the club in the underage grades; however, success was slow in coming.
20231101.en_13204692_5	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	Canty joined the club's senior team in the late 1990s and immediately enjoyed his first major victory. In 1998 Bantry Blues reached the final of the county senior championship with Canty lining out in defence. Divisional side Duhallow provided the opposition; however, the west Cork men were too strong for the north Cork division. A 0–17 to 2–6 score line gave Bantry Blues the title and gave Canty his first, and to date his only, county winners' medal.
20231101.en_13204692_6	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	The following year Canty was a member of the Bantry Blues under-21 football team. He added a West Cork Under-21 title to his collection on that occasion.

Nemo Rangers, the kingpins of the championship, provided the opposition, however, Canty's side were no match for the city club. A 1–14 to 0–6 trouncing resulted in defeat for Bantry Blues.
20231101.en_13204692_8	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	Canty for came to prominence on the inter-county scene as a member of the Cork minor football team in the late 1990s. It was a period when 'the Rebels' were going through a lull at underage level in the provincial series of games.
20231101.en_13204692_9	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	After failing to even win a Munster title with the minors, Canty later moved onto the Cork under-21 team. Once again, success was slow in coming; however, in 2001 he was appointed captain of the county's under-21 team. That year he guided Cork to a Munster final appearance against Limerick. That game ended in a 1–12 to 0–8 victory for 'the Rebels'. Not only did Canty collect a Munster under-21 winners' medal but he also had the honour of lifting the cup on behalf of his county. Cork were later defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final.
20231101.en_13204692_10	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2001 Canty established himself in the full-back position on the Cork senior football team. That year he lined out in his first senior provincial decider. Arch-rivals and reigning All-Ireland champions Kerry were the opponents. The game was a reasonably close affair; however, 'the Kingdom' never looked like losing. At the full-time whistle Cork were defeated by 0–19 to 1–13. 2001 was the first year of the qualifier system so, in spite of being defeated, Cork had another chance to battle for the All-Ireland title. Canty's side, however, were subsequently dumped out of the championship by Galway.
20231101.en_13204692_11	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	2002 proved to be a more successful year for Canty. After winning against Kerry in the provincial semi-final, Cork qualified for a Munster final showdown with Tipperary. While many people expected Cork to win the game easily, Tipp nearly sneaked a win, however, the provincial decider ended in a draw. The replay was an absolute rout. Cork won by 1–23 to 0–7, giving Canty a Munster winners' medal in the senior grade. Cork later reached the All-Ireland semi-final where they met Kerry for the third time in the championship that year. Furthermore, it was the first-ever meeting of these two great rivals in Croke Park. While expectations were high the game turned into a rout as everything went Kerry's way. Talismanic forward Colin Corkery was red-carded as 'the Rebels' were defeated by 3–19 to 2–7. The year ended with the Cork hurling team going on strike. In turn, the football team joined in a sympathy strike. The players, who had been seeking better conditions, refused to play or train with the county again until the dispute with the county board was resolved. After a protracted standoff, the players grievances were eventually settled.
20231101.en_13204692_12	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	2003 was a difficult year as Cork surrendered their provincial crown at an early stage before later crashing out of the championship in the All-Ireland qualifiers.
20231101.en_13204692_13	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2004 Canty's side fared no better. After losing to Kerry in the Munster semi-final Cork had to manoeuvre through the qualifiers again. An unconvincing victory over Clare was followed by a humiliating 0–18 to 0–12 defeat by Fermanagh.
20231101.en_13204692_14	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	By 2005 the Cork footballers had regrouped and reached the Munster final for the first time in three years. Once again Kerry, the reigning All-Ireland champions, provided the opposition. The game was a close affair, however, Canty's side were narrowly defeated by just 1–11 to 0–11. This did not mean the end of Cork's All-Ireland ambitions. After winning their next two games 'the Rebels' qualified for an All-Ireland semi-final meeting with Kerry. In an embarrassing game of football for Cork, Canty's side were trounced by thirteen points on a score line of 1–19 to 0–9.
20231101.en_13204692_15	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2006 Canty's team reached the Munster final with Kerry lining out against them. That game ended in a 0–10 apiece draw. The replay saw a much fresher Cork team surprisingly defeat Kerry by 1–12 to 0–9. James Masters proved the hero of the day, as he scored 1–7. Canty had secured a second Munster winners' medal in the senior grade. The quirks of the championship saw Cork face Kerry again in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final for the third time in five seasons. In a similar pattern to previous encounters Cork failed to beat Kerry at Croke Park. A 0–16 to 0–10 resulted in Cork being knocked out of the championship.
20231101.en_13204692_16	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2007 Cork were out to atone for their defeats by Kerry the previous year. Both sides met in the provincial decider for the third year in succession. Cork gave a good account of themselves, however, Kerry could not be beaten and Canty's side went down on a 1–15 to 1–13 score line.

20231101.en_13204692_17	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2008 Canty's leadership skills on the field of play were rewarded when he was appointed captain of the team for the year. Cork gained a modicum of revenge on Kerry when the sides met again in that year's Munster final. Kerry were cruising by eight points at the interval, however, Cork stormed back in the second-half. Kerry could only muster three points as Cork secured a remarkable 1–16 to 1–11 victory. It was Canty's third Munster winners' medal and his first as captain. Both sides met again in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, after a thrilling draw and a replay Kerry were the team that advanced to the championship decider.
20231101.en_13204692_18	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham%20Canty	Graham Canty	In 2009 Canty remained as captain of the Cork side, a team that had been earmarked as potential All-Ireland contenders. After a defeat of Kerry in a replay of the Munster semi-final, Cork subsequently faced Limerick in the Munster final. Cork were the red-hot favourites going into the game, however, Limerick put Cork to the pin of their collars. After a slow start 'the Rebels' settled and eventually secured a narrow 2–6 to 0–11 victory. It was Canty's fourth Munster title. Cork later qualified for an All-Ireland final showdown with age-old rivals Kerry. Surprisingly, the men from 'the Kingdom' went into the game as slight underdogs. This tag appeared to be justified when Cork raced to a 1–3 to 0–1 early in the opening half.

He plays Gaelic football with his local club Nemo Rangers and was a member of the Cork senior inter-county team from 2003 until 2010.
20231101.en_13204803_1	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	Kavanagh was born in the Turner's Cross suburb of Cork City in 1980. The youngest of five sons (Pat, Larry, Joe, Paul, Derek) his first sporting love was soccer. Three Kavanagh brothers played with Casement Celtic and Tramore Athletic, two fierce city rivals, and grew up near Turner's Cross, home of the newly formed Cork City F.C. Kavanagh's passion for soccer changed when his older brother Joe joined the Cork minor football team. Three Kavanagh brothers (Joe, Larry, Derek) would subsequently play together with the famous Nemo Rangers club on the south side of the city. Derek is also famous for being one of the youngest members of The High Street Warriors - a loose collective of High Street natives with particular ties to the Tonyville cul-de-sac. The group was famed for late night games of tip the can, endless games of Nods and Volleys, brutal games of Runaway Runaway Knock, and imposing their dominating presence over Warrior Square (just opposite Zico's Pizzas). The shadowy group have always declined public comment and a full membership list has always eluded the authorities though local folklore suggests a rite of passage involved each member scrawling his name into the Capwell Road street sign (usually with Tipex or a nail).

He first came to prominence as a player on the club's minor team that captured the county minor championship title in 1999. Kavanagh later joined the Nemo under-21 football team, winning back-to-back county championship winners’ medals in 2001 and 2002.
20231101.en_13204803_3	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	By this stage Kavanagh had made his debut with the Nemo Rangers senior team. He secured a county championship winners’ medal in this grade in 2000, following a ten-point defeat of divisional side Carbery. Nemo later represented Cork in the provincial club championship and even reached the final of that competition. An 0–11 to 0–7 defeat of Kerry's Glenflesk gave Kavanagh a Munster club winners' medal. He later lined out in the foot-and-mouth delayed All-Ireland club final, with Mayo's Crossmolina providing the opposition. Nemo looked to be in the driving seat, however, a second-half comeback, inspired by Kieran McDonald, saw the momentum switch to the Mayo side. A late Colin Corkery goal narrowed the deficit to one point, however, Nemo were eventually and narrowly defeated by 0–16 to 1-12.
20231101.en_13204803_4	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2001 Kavanagh secured a second county championship title as Nemo Rangers trounced Bantry Blues in the final. A second Munster club winners’ medal was quickly secured, after a 1–11 to 0–10 defeat of Fethard. Kavanagh subsequently lined out in his second consecutive All-Ireland club final, this time with Ballinderry providing the opposition. The championship decider was switched to Semple Stadium because of the reconstruction of Croke Park, however, a change of venue did not suit Nemo. Goals by Gerard Cassidy and Declan Bateson gave the Derry side a comfortable 2–10 to 0–9 victory. It was a second consecutive All-Ireland defeat for Nemo.
20231101.en_13204803_5	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	2002 saw Nemo becoming the first team in nearly sixty years to win three county championship titles in-a-row. A third consecutive Munster club title quickly followed for Kavanagh, as Nemo trounced Monaleen of Limerick by 4–15 to 0–6. For the third successive year Kavanagh subsequently lined out in the All-Ireland club final, however, Nemo faced the prospect of becoming three-in-a-row losers. Crossmolina provided the opposition for the second time in three years and the game was a close affair. Colin Corkery scored six points to give Nemo a merited 0–14 to 1–9 victory. At the third time of asking Kavanagh had finally captured an All-Ireland club winners’ medal.
20231101.en_13204803_6	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	After failing to secure a fourth successive county title in-a-row, Kavanagh won ahis next county championship winners’ medal in 2005 as Muskerry were defeated by ten points. He later missed out on Nemo's Munster club final victory.
20231101.en_13204803_7	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	The club made it three-in-a-row in 2007 following a defeat of Ilen Rovers before later facing Ballinacourty in the Mulster final. Nemo never really looked troubled and a 1–10 to 1–7 score line gave Kavanagh a fourth Munster club winners' medal. Another All-Ireland final appearance in two years soon followed with Dublin side St. Vincent's lining out against Nemo. Kavanagh's side fought back from a six-point deficit, however, they still lost out by the narrowest of margins on a score line of 1–11 to 0-13.
20231101.en_13204803_8	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2008 Nemo Rangers had the chance to make history by capturing a fourth county title in succession. All went to plan with Kavanagh's side lining out against Douglas. Nemo proved that they were the best club side in Cork once again with a 0–13 to 0–5 defeat of their nearest neighbours. It was Kavanagh's seventh county winners' medal. Nemo, however, were later ambushed by eventual Munster champions Dromcollogher-Broadford in the subsequent provincial club series of games.
20231101.en_13204803_9	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	Nemo failed to secure an unprecedented fifth successive county title in 2009, however, this was only a temporary blip as the following year Kavanagh won an eight county championship winners' medal.

Cork were subsequently defeated in the All-Ireland semi-final. Kavanagh enjoyed no further success with the county under-21 footballers.

20231101.en_13204803_12	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2006 Kavanagh was appointed captain of the Cork team as 'the Rebels' began to emerge from the shadow of their greatest rivals Kerry. That year the team lined out against 'the Kingdom' in the Munster final once again. That game ended in a 0-10 apiece draw. The replay saw a much fresher Cork team defeat Kerry by 1–12 to 0–9. James Masters proved the hero of the day, as he scored 1–7. Kavanagh had finally secured a Munster winners’ medal in the senior grade. The quirks of the championship saw Cork face Kerry again in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final. In a similar pattern to previous encounters Cork failed to beat Kerry at Croke Park. A 0–16 to 0–10 score line resulted in Kavanagh's side being defeated.
20231101.en_13204803_13	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2007 Kavanagh was captain again as Cork narrowly lost their Munster crown to Kerry. In spite of the 1–15 to 1–13 defeat Cork still had another chance to claim the All-Ireland title. Cork later did well in the All-Ireland series and finally qualified for the All-Ireland championship decider. Kerry, however, were the opponents. While the first half was played on an even keel, 'the Kingdom' ran riot in the second half and a rout ensued. At the full-time whistle Cork were trounced by 3–13 to 1–9.
20231101.en_13204803_14	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2008 Cork gained a modicum of revenge on Kerry when sides met in the Munster final. Kerry were cruising by eight points at the interval, however, Cork stormed back in the second-half. Kerry could only muster three points as Cork secured a memorable 1–16 to 1–11 victory. It was Kavanagh's second Munster winners' medal. Both sides met again in the All-Ireland semi-final, however, after a thrilling draw and a replay Kerry were the team that advanced to the championship decider.
20231101.en_13204803_15	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	The following year Kavanagh became a bit player on the Cork team as a recurring hip injury took its toll. He missed Cork's Munster final defeat of Limerick but did make a brief cameo in the subsequent All-Ireland final showdown with Kerry. Cork had a 1–3 to 0–1 lead early in the opening half, however, the Kerry team stuck to their gameplan, helped in no small part by a Cork side that recorded fourteen wides. At the final whistle Kerry were the champions again by 0–16 to 1–9.
20231101.en_13204803_16	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek%20Kavanagh	Derek Kavanagh	In 2010 Kavanagh returned for one last chance at claiming an All-Ireland medal. Cork failed to impress throughout the championship, however, the team still qualified for a third All-Ireland final appearance in four years. Down provided the opposition on that occasion in the first meeting between these two teams since 1994. Cork got off to a lightning start, however, they eased off and trailed by three points at the interval. Paul Kerrigan got his sole point of the match to put 'the Rebels' ahead for the first time in fifty minutes as Kavanagh entered the game to make a midfield cameo. Cork stretched the lead to three points, however, Down fought back. At the full-time whistle Cork were the champions by 0–16 to 0-15 and Kavanagh finally picked up an All-Ireland winners' medal.

The replay a week later was more conclusive. St Finbarr's won by 2–13 to 0–14, giving Shields a County Premier Intermediate Championship winners' medal.

St Finbarr's defeated Clonakilty in the 2021 final on a scoreline of 0-14 to 0-13, adding another county medal to his collection. Shields came on as a second-half substitute.

After impressing in some challenge and McGrath Cup games in 2005, Shields was handed his senior championship debut in the 2006 Munster final against Kerry. That game ended in a 0–10 apiece draw. The replay saw a much fresher Cork team surprisingly defeat Kerry by 1–12 to 0–9. James Masters proved the hero of the day, as he scored 1–7. Shields had secured his first Munster winners' medal in the senior grade. The quirks of the championship saw Cork face Kerry again in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final for the third time in five seasons. In a similar pattern to previous encounters Cork failed to beat Kerry at Croke Park. A 0–16 to 0–10 resulted in Cork being knocked out of the championship.

In 2007 Cork were out to atone for their defeats by Kerry the previous year. Both sides met in the provincial decider for the third year in succession. Cork gave a good account of themselves; however, Kerry could not be beaten and Shields's side went down on a 1–15 to 1–13 score line. Cork later did well in the subsequent All-Ireland series and finally qualified for the All-Ireland final after an eight-year absence. In a cruel twist Kerry were the opponents. While the first half was played on an even keel, 'the Kingdom' ran riot in the second half and a rout ensued. Goalkeeper Alan Quirke came in for much criticism after conceding some easy goals. At the full-time whistle Cork were trounced by 3–13 to 1–9.

The following year Shields missed the start of the championship because of his Australian sojourn. He returned in time for Cork's All-Ireland quarter-final meeting with Kildare. He came on as a substitute in that victory. Cork faced Kerry once again in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final; however, after a thrilling draw and a replay Kerry were the team that advanced to the championship decider.

In 2009 Shields was installed as Cork's first-choice full-back. After a defeat of Kerry in a replay of the Munster semi-final, Cork subsequently faced Limerick in the Munster final. Cork were the red-hot favourites going into the game; however, Limerick put Cork to the pin of their collars. After a slow start 'the Rebels' settled and eventually secured a narrow 2–6 to 0–11 victory. It was Shield's second Munster title. Cork later defeated Donegal to set up an All-Ireland semi-final meeting with reigning All-Ireland champions Tyrone. In 2010 he was captain of the Cork team that won the National Football League Div 1 Tile with a won over Mayo in the final at Croke Park.

In 2010 Shields was still seen as a key member of Cork's full-back line. A defeat by Kerry in a replay of the provincial semi-final resulted in Cork being exiled to the All-Ireland qualifiers. After negotiating their way through a difficult series of games, Cork defeated Dublin to qualify for their third All-Ireland final in four years. Down provided the opposition on that occasion in the first meeting between these two teams since 1994. Cork got off to a lightning start; however, they eased off and trailed by three points at the interval. Cork stretched the lead to three points in the second half; however, Down fought back. At the full-time whistle Cork were the champions by 0–16 to 0–15 and Shields picked up an All-Ireland winners' medal.

Shields also lined out with Munster in the inter-provincial series of games; however, he hexperienced little success. He first lined out with his province in 2006 when Munster were drawn to play Connacht in the semi-final. That was an eventful game, featuring a period of extra-time. In the end victory went to the westerners by 1–15 to 2–10.

In November 2007, following a successful three-week trial with top level Australian rules football club Carlton, Shields signed a two-year international rookie contract, becoming the third Cork native to sign with the club, joining former hurlers Setanta and Aisake Ó hAilpín. After the first half of the season, however, he decided to return to Ireland in July 2008, saying he "missed home" and Australian rules football "wasn't for him".

Dan Laurin

Laurin is acknowledged as the foremost player of the recorder active today. He has explored and widened the sonic possibilities of the recorder and has an unequalled technical facility. His playing explores a wide palette of tonal colours and a striking control of dynamics; the expressiveness of his playing is marked by a freedom in moving from the mutest pianissimo to a clear forte within hairbreadth spaces of time. His interpretations combine thoughtful musical structure with highly wrought ornamentation and a sometimes wild sense of fantasy. His command of improvisation within a strong understanding of harmonic structure brings to 17th- and 18th-century music something of the spirit of jazz masters such as Charlie Parker. Yet, Laurin's interpretations remain sensitive to the aesthetic and spirit of older music, as his many thoughtful essays on his repertoire reveal.

Laurin's unique interpretative style is perhaps best exhibited in his many recordings of Vivaldi, culminating in a recording of the Four Seasons released in August 2006. His efforts to broaden the repertoire and to gain for the recorder the status of a concert instrument together with a large orchestra has resulted in several concertos that are already considered classics. His 1994 album The Swedish Recorder, earned him a prize from the Swedish Association of Composers. This, along with three other albums (The Japanese Recorder, Vivaldi Recorder Concertos and Telemann/Bach (Fantasias/Solo works)) resulted in a Grammy award. Commissions include recorder concertos by Daniel Börtz, Henrik Strindberg, Fredrick Österling, as well as by Chiell Meijering, Vito Palumbo and Christofer Elgh.

Laurin collaborated with the Australian instrument maker Fred Morgan to advance recorder design, and this resulted in a succession of reconstructions of instruments from earlier times, including an instrument that was designed specifically for Laurin's 9-CD recording of Jacob van Eyck's monumental Der Fluyten Lust-hof (BIS-CD-775/780), the largest work ever written for a wind instrument. Laurin has trained some of the leading young recorder virtuosi in Europe and beyond.

Medweganoonind was a tall and strong man. According to Joseph Gilfillan, "Nobility was stamped upon all his actions and words and his looks...He was very level-headed, true to his friends, patient under seeming neglect, unselfish, and of such a broad vision and sound judgment as would have made him an ideal ruler anywhere."
