Yes, Baroque music is full of recorders! In fact, recorders can be pretty expensive and come in various pitches, for example alto and bass. The professional ones are made of pricey hardwood, like grenadilla (which my clarinet is made of

)
Many musicians only specialize in performing Baroque music and there are tracks at many conservatories that preserve this style of music performance, theory, and history.
