Heard this performed by a chamber orchestra in an old church in Vienna pre-pandemic. It was the most amazing musical experience of my life - totally unforgettable. Literally made me cry. I love learning more about this music. ❤️

can u explain to me which part makes u cry , how do you feel? bcoz idont feel anything listening to this

@@devolapopola8289 It’s a completely different experience hearing the music live, feeling the emotions of the players, seeing the sweat pour off their faces as they put their hearts into the performance. Hearing it with my family on a perfect warm summer evening, performed in a centuries-old building with amazing acoustics, only enriched the experience.

One of my all time favorite composers .. I play Four Seasons every Christmas 💞

Mr. Maull is an amazing teacher! I've always loved this concerto but his commentary unlocked a whole new level of appreciation. Thank you so much!

I have always enjoyed the seemingly unique opening to Summer as performed by Anne-Sophie Mutter. Her version feels like it is played almost twice as slow as every other recording I have heard of the same piece. Having grown up in the hot humid south of the USA, the slow languid almost torpid tempo her opening conveys resonates deeply with me and feels much more expressively accurate than the standard tempo. Just a minor detail, but such a powerful effect!

That was a fun program, and the explanations of what Vivaldi was doing compositionally added to the enjoyment and appreciation of his beautiful music. Thanks

Hearing what Vivaldi was thinking is just wonderful. I need to go find his writings.

@susanmercurio1060 2 года назад

I love ❤ Vivaldi and the Four Seasons is probably my favorite. Adding Vivaldi's intentions made it so much more enjoyable.

The 4 seasons was a cure to my anxiety and depression, very specific verses touched me so deeply however I couldn't understand a meaning, thank you for the show and for the illustrations ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@StephiSensei26 2 года назад

Spectacular! Please teach this in Public Schools to our children! We shouldn't have to make people wait until they're elderly to appreciate the hidden meaning of music. If you have to, hide the cellphone, and DRAG the kids to the concert! They'll thank you some day.

@@lorigoshert6667 Great! Next, try "Peter and the Wolf". It is an introduction to the orchestra. Kids love that too.

@Prof. Weed Nothing would make me happier to know I was wrong. But when we hear about "cut backs", it's always the arts that are cut first. Please tell me I'm wrong.

@RoxanneM- 2 года назад

@Prof. Weed , because we hear everyday the trash the majority of people listen to, and how increasingly trashy the ads everywhere, a great indication of what marketing has found to be what the highest percentage of the public likes, and everywhere one goes, have adapted to the terrible subculture that keeps growing. Once one grows up in a classical environment, there is absolutely no way one can turn to pseudo music and enjoy it.

@dawnf.2182 2 года назад

Agree! Support your local orchestras!

@warmweeniesdoxiesweaters2884 2 года назад

Wow. Love the interpretation/explanation and then the music. I really don't have the right words. Thank you for the joy. Am saving some of this deliciousness for another time... when I can be uninterrupted and able to take the time. Sigh.

@johnhuntzinger5210 2 месяца назад

Bravo and many thanks. Heard part live in Prague several years ago and was moved. NPR’s “Now Hear This” with Scott Yoo was my first explanation. This built on that. Many thanks.

Hair-raisingly good, My neighbor has a pig and a cow named Piganini and Vivaldi. When I asked him why he named them that, he said, you should hear them play fiddle.

@danielboard9510 2 года назад

And later, he gave his monkey a type writer and he wrote, Animal Farm. And, everyone went home and no-one had any idea of what they were talking about. Jam and bun's in the morning? Hmm

4:48 - Just as an aside, the “f” holes of the principal viola’s instrument have an unusual shape.

@wrdna58 2 года назад

I think it more likely Vivaldi had a general idea of what he wanted to evoke in each concerto (like in the concerto la notte which doesn't have an associated text) and added the sonnets and extracted the captions later - they are afterthoughts

@SuddenUpdraft 2 года назад

I wonder what the interpretation would be for parrots and mockingbirds.

@danielboard9510 2 года назад

Well, the mockingbird would tell you , to shut the fuck up and then the parrot, would repeat it.

This sounds and looks as if it is pitched at a 10 - 12 years old audience. It also sounds/looks like a revivalist tent show using classical music.
