I fell in love with the Largo part of this piece many years ago, before the WW Web existed. I had heard it in a movie soundtrack as a young woman, and was so moved by it, that I wanted it played at my wedding one day. But I didn't know the name of it, mistook it for part of the Four Seasons, and I couldn't find it. Turned out my fiancé's folks provided a lovely church choral group, so all was well! Nonetheless, I'm so very happy to hear this again!
@@varkony60 Yes, that's my only criticism, that the largo section could have done with being just a smidgen *more* largo - to pull even harder on the heartstrings!
utube does this to all of the old videos they sponsored. so go complain to them pls if u know where to contact. there's no reason for dem to do sheit like dat bc. memory bytes r cheap n they have 10s of thousands of servers they can add more memories in their network n they get nuf $$$ from all these pop-up screen sheit adverts now, which even B4 that scheme, they were n still getting good amt of $$$ from the ISPs we use everytime we vist utube's site. No reason for us to tolerate junk repeating adverts.
just superb. To me Vivaldi was/is the ultimate and the best. The most complete musician and composer. He is so under rated. This composition along with many of his others is profection marriage of instruments and musical melody 👏👏
Me too mate...............since my childhood actually. There was a very popular programme on Danish TV, and the theme song was the second movement.................everybody who grew up in Denmark in The 70s.............knows this piece of music.................Take care @94picton............❤
I've always tried to imagine the mood of a composer, like Vivaldi, when composing a work. This piece speaks to me of both joy and quiet reflection all at once.
I heard the Largo turned into a song in 1974 at a performance of The Two Gentlemen of Verona. The most beautiful movement in all music. Had it played at my wedding with a reading from The Song of Songs. Magic.
For years I have been trying to find the tune that was played on the CBS Morning News with Hughes Rudd back in the early 70's, and now, I have found it, "Largo"! Bellissimo!
It was the RV93 that brought me to classical music when I was 10 years old. This work was the musical theme of a television thriller. "Tatort" That's when I learned to love Vivaldi.
Não sei o que mais encanta: Se é essa magnifica obra interpretada pelo John Williams e a orchestra ou o Salón de Embajadores (Salão dos Embaixadores) é o mais luxuoso de todos os quartos do palácio e é impressionante cúpula, construída por Diego Ruiz em 1427. A junção é perfeita!
Esta cancion me hace recordar telenovelas vistas en Peru en donde no vivo nunca mas, pero me hace sentir bien. No se si fueron argentinas, venezolanas, o mexicanas pero fueron al lado de mami la cual sigue viva gracias a Dios.
Con este sr. Tuve la suerte de cenar en bcn, salimos juntos de su concierto, y nos encontramos en la misma mesa juntos, fue por necesidad de mesa, pero guardo su firma en el programa de el concierto en el palau con gran estima, es el más grande
Après toutes ces merveilles, surgit un charlatan comme Stravinsky pour oser dire que Vivaldi n'a pas écrit 500 concertos mais un seul concerto 500 fois. Je pense qu'il était sous l'effet d'un stupéfiant, ou bien il avait commencé à perdre la tête. Dans l'histoire de la musique, Vivaldi sera toujours plus joué et mieux admiré que Stravinsky. Sa musique est intemporelle et bien plus humaine, plus universelle. L'art de Stravinsky et celui de tous les artistes modernes qui se targuent d'innovation et se proclament des chantres d'une nouvelle esthétique, cet art est un art d'une époque, l'art de Vivaldi est un art pour toutes les époques
Pues yo lo observo de esta manera: el universo esta basado en las vibraciones, pero este sonido también. No cabe duda por que provoca tantas buenas emociones en nosotros la Música, sobre todo simple (digo simple porque se trata de instrumentos muy simples en su construcción). Es básicamente un reflejo del mismo Universo que nos rodea.
I get sense that the guitarist isn't feeling anything much in the second movement and the piece just breezes along. This is one of the most touching inward-turning movements Vivaldi wrote and I'll say this. Vivaldi could NOT have composed this piece unless he felt something, no matter how much of music-making machine he and composers of that era were. If not passion it was LOVE that drove anyone to choose a perilous career composing. Vivaldi composed because he could not have done otherwise....like breathing.
I agree that this ranks with any of the seasons concerti, but there are some from l'estro armonico that are no less amazing - and Bach seems to have thought so, too, having reorchestrated several for either 3 or 4 harpsichords or organ.
This ist of course brilliant and perfect but for me the interpretation by Narciso Yepes is just unbeatable, especially the Largo is pure magic, he's playing it one octave lower.
The largo could have done with being a tad *more* largo. Other than that, a fantastic performance of an intensely moving piece. The balance between the guitar and the string ensemble was perfect. I've heard too many versions where the violin and maybe also viola intrude over the guitar or lute solo.
