Why are concertos performed with flutes instead of recorders?

Bach, Telemann, Handel etc - composers before 19th century composed for recorder (there was no "flute" until later). Modern orchestral instruments have louder voice than for example their baroque contemporaries thus the sound of recorder wouldn't be heard. But if orchestra would play with period instruments then also recorders can be used. They were used like that back then. There are sometimes concerts held with period instruments.
