Der Treble Maker, You are very correct, though on a minor London geographical point, the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington is quite a distance from the mighty River Thames, and the site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Music#First_performance en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_for_the_Royal_Fireworks#Rehearsal_and_final_production That's enough from the pedantic and very 18th Century Dr Andrea von Syntax, an inveterate Proms Concert Attendress: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Rowlandson#Works Love andrea

I love watching performances with period instruments - it feels like I'm listening to the original rather than the remix.

Listen to charpentier te deum is got more historical instruments together

@@Baraodojaguary Thanks for your informative reply. I'll find it on YT.

Such beautiful instruments - they're gorgeous just as works of art without even being played

Omg hi

hahaha hey tommyyy

Rebecca Ward Music A level eh?

Aye, last year

Rebecca Ward Thank you. You saved me time and research.

it has slowly become a bit sharper, since the tube shortened.

its true

Ong

I feel attacked lol

@@lani-chandoesart8868 💀💀💀

no valves few people realise how difficult it is

Fxzxxc

@@vaughangarrick trumpets without tuning holes as well

A very speedy flow of water music

😂😂

The baroque oboe is called a shawm

@@amyzh3888 I can see the difference between recorder and flute (transverso) but the difference between "shawm" and "oboe" is just time.

@@amyzh3888 Also observing the difference in the Brass section - basically the same instruments, but no valves - which makes them very different instruments.

Yes!! We were there, overlooking the horns (for sentimental reasons) What an evening it was - so glad it's still available on RU-vid, Best bit (apart from the horns!) is the mad percussion in the Fireworks Music (if you haven't yet found it...)

@@judithwhitehouse2149 Thank you Judith for responding, you do indeed have the joy of remembering the occasion itself plus the ability to revive your memories of being there, here on YT. I would have really loved that.

This is one of the BBC's annual "Promenade Concerts" (2012). The central audience is always standing.

It's at the Royal Albert Hall, London.

They don't sit in chairs because they're beneath them

I agree. It feels a bit rushed.

Correito

*bravi (◡ ω ◡)

There is an enormous amount of period instrument musicians in the UK

@@michaelennis5090 It was recently pointed out to me that the violins are tuned differently from modern tuning , That's amazing attention to detail.

Also observing the difference in the Brass section - basically the same instruments, but no valves - which makes them very different instruments.

windstorm1000 Me too.

What does that means?

@Nestor hmm cool. I actually didn't knew the meaning of this word even on my native language (Brazilian Portuguese) 😂

I do too; And delightfully so!

@@boriswilsoncreations It's just than is strange, irregular or fitful. It's kinda funny, I've never seen anyone conduct like that😂🙌🏻

Amazing cadenza

Born in what is now Germany, Handel actually moved here from Italy from where he brought Italian-style music (not German) which he tweaked for English ears; Handel’s music is almost unrecognisable compared to ‘proper’ German composers like JS Bach and Telemann as it is as different from those two as is the music of their contemporary Domenico Scarlatti.

In The Royal Albert Hall in London. The hold the BBC proms there each year and this is from one of them.

trop vite en effet ; quel gâchis !

Sungpack Hong Yup. Those are the trumpets and horns used on the Baroque Era. They're valvless (Natural) which makes it difficult to play.

Hola

No

The year 1717 is within the Baroque period.

Not very

It’s best to write ‘classical’ when you mean everything from the last thousand years that’s not rock, pop, jazz, folk, et cetera, but ‘Classical’ when you mean music specifically from c.1740-1800 (ie the Age of Mozart and Haydn et al) as opposed to Baroque, or Romantic for example.

NostalgiaKarl K.F. yes

Blake B Hervé Niquet is a genius. Therefore ... :-)
