Yo mismo,hace una semana tuve el placer de escucharla en directo.

It will still be enjoyed in 3024

바로크 메탈 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

***** Vivaldi was Italian, but I know there are linguistic similarities with Spanish and Italian

I understand now! Thanks!

One of the true spirits of music. Wizards sounds

And yet there are no good quality metal covers of Folia, sadly enough! Metal musicians, are you up for the challenge?!

Vivaldi was a catholic priest. Did you know about this?

I wish I could play. I never understood notes, though, and can't grasp the concept to this day, for the most part. My dream is to play the violin, yet, I think, that'll not happen.

Same!

Ainda estou a ouvir. Todas as de quem gostei, calcavam 36, coincidência, mas já suspeitava!

@@marvinradermacher5781 It won't happen unless you pick one up and try. Try.

Vivaldi

Here on venice listening all the time can't go home. eleanor

Alberto Gatti, I also

Anch'io

Pueden estar orgullosos. La influencia universal de la música italiana es ampliamente merecida

Vivaldi, le prêtre roux (premier disque écouté à l'école vers 1967, j'avais 10 ans) : le coup de foudre !!! Et Bach, bien-sûr, mes "deux chouchous"...

The red priest is the foundation of Italian Baroque. Bach was the master, and Handel was the great populizer

How very true. Vivaldi is SUBLIME.

You are right!

I just saw this piece from our local orchestra played with the same director on harpsichord Goosebumps.

Emocionante!!!

Ohhh, absolutely, I was just thinking the same!!!

1001 and more. Improves my painting and decorating!!

Oiga y mire , NO hay nada que traducir. Il Italiano es perfectamente útil y fácil para hacerse entender 😮

Слушаю и балдею в 2023 году!

2023. Magnificent.Великолепно.

brianzolo1 For real !

Vivaldi is a God

He has certainly written a lot of inspiring pieces , especially the Christmas kind .

Forgive me, you know something of music, have sensitivity to music, why speak so lightly and contemptuously. Perhaps you could compose something as beautiful as this work or dozens of those that vivaldi wrote. Please be respectful and apologize.-

adrian carlos Cassano I was advised NOT to respond to obnoxious replies on Internet and now I'm passing that advice to you . Just enjoy these skillful musicians doing their Vivaldi thing .

HA, agreed! Then you end up explaining it to the police officer who pulled you over for speeding! Thankfully they are understanding...

That's typical of Renaissance and baroque eras. Though sometimes it was the principal violinist.

Alpha Juliet Charlie Hotel I'm glad you made me notice that I can notice

Conductor/Harpsicordist was a student of Leonard Bernstein.

Welcome to the world of music before minorities corrupted it into a quick way to make money as they sold drugs to innocents

AND headbanging

Yes, you can be proud. There's a lot of beautiful music made in Italy. Best regards from Germany an all the best to Italy, your country suffered a lot the last week's. May you all recover soon.

@@hampurista thanks very much for the nice reply.

@@davidbauer1260 I love Bach. There is no point comparing artists. It's like comparing an elephant with a giraffe. They're both a Nature's creation and they both belong to it, they're just two different animals.

@@antobellog1878 Really? Mozart considered Bach the best, and Bach greatly admired Vivaldi, so much so that Bach transcribed at least one Vivaldi violin piece for harpsichord. They were both contemporaries, and both composers of baroque classical music, both were musical geniuses, and both were not too highly regarded in their day, which is why they both died pretty much penniless. And actually, the main theme or melody from this piece is not even a Vivaldi invention. It's from a French composer named Jean-Baptiste Lully. His piece is called, " Les Folies d'Espagne". Check for yourself. There's some comparisons. What's the problem? And, you most certainly can make comparisons between elephants and giraffes. Both are warm blooded animals, both are land mammals, both are herbivores, and both are quadrapeds(4 footed). There's some comparisons. That's because they are both, not creations of nature, but creations of Almighty God. Nature is a creation of God. It's called common design. There are differences and similarities throughout the creation. I originally was just trying to pay you and your fellow countrymen a compliment. Can't say anything these days without someone getting offended.

@@davidbauer1260 well if you believe in god you can call it god creation. I'm at the next step, for me it's Nature creation. There is no god for me. Anyway I m not offended at all. I'm just sorry you think I am. You're a free man so feel free to say whatever pleases you.

Obviously the work of the conductor is done before the performance: the orchestra should be so well trained they are able to do it on their own but he/she deserves to be up there to receive the credit. For complex works you do need a conductor or everything will disintegrate quickly. The conductor is the guiding force that binds all instruments together. The conductor breathes life into the piece, that is why giants like von Karajan are revered to this day.

Excellent said!

Yes I did notice that.

Players don't really look at the conductor in a performance unless they are like winds and need cueing.

Always make me smile !

Every day as I paint houses.

Oui,vraiment un grand musicien et qui à l'air sympathique!

Un virtuose

Tres beau et charismatique aussi...

How true. I'm addicted to Vivaldi. Simply gorgeous music, played impeccably by the fantastic🥰 musicians.

"Follia" , not "Folia" ;-)

@@emilianochannel ti sbagli: 'follia' e' lo spelling della parola italiana che significa 'madness', ma 'Folia' e' il termine musicale spagnolo per il genere di danza praticata da tempi antichissimi e che origina, appunto, dalla Spagna. Ragion per cui si parla sempre di 'folia' e non 'follia'.

@@isobeldeeley7286 thanks for your reply, I think I will continue to call it 'follia'... Quite sure that Vivaldi, or Corelli or Salieri had called it like this ;-). This performance is wonderful! Bye

@@emilianochannel it depends on which original sources you read. Vivaldi, Salieri et alia were well aware of the musical genre of the 'folia' originating from Spain and on Corelli and Salieri's music sheet it actually says 'La Folia', or 'La Folia di Spagna'. Either way this is indeed a great performance.

C' est envoûtant, that's all I can say...

Or very deep in your soul... Which is also a lesser known place in the universe

Indeed; that’s precisely what I meant. The soul is the least known corner of the Universe.

Wow

Same...

me too:)

@@bernadettpinter591 Moi aussi.

Exactement.

Yes! Vivaldi, and Bach brandenburg concertos...

Yes, but it is _La Folia_ in Spanish (where the follies originate) so neither spelling is more or less correct. Since this is Vivaldi's set of variations I probably would use the Italian spelling in this case, but it doesn't particularly matter.

Folia is an spanizh word for a sapanis dance. Many musicians of each origin made many folias, thy named then "la folia de España" *or "la folie d'espagne" . Many of them Spaniards, but Also Italians, French an other origins. But it is Spanish in origin so "folia" is correct,

cellestialX yes. Thanks for the upload ☺
