Vivaldi - Spring from The Four Seasons | Netherlands Bach Society 

Ahhhhh! This piece, overused to the point of dullness, recovers its true life! Such expressiveness, such respect for the oeuvre, such joy in the performance. As I have said many a time before regarding NBS: this is art.

Vivaldi is the master of putting a story to music

This piece has become the favorite phone "hold" music for companies in the US. It's nice to hear it without interruption and in a superior performance.

I heard this piece many times during music class in primary school. But why does it give me a completely different impression from what I heard then? Was it ever this merry, picturesque and fresh?

I am so glad my wife, an older lady introduced me to 'Classical music. She was so cultured.

Thank you - simply brilliant as usual. Authentic, engaging, a wonderful interpretation.

Utter joy inspires me to say this: You all have some of the best interpretations of Baroque works on RU-vid! So much heart and so much soul has been merged into melody, making each piece, in truth, a rarely fashioned pearl (thus is the meaning of "Baroque"). It is not only shown in the music that you all bring to life, but it is reflected within each individual. The love with which they have dedicated to preserving this great music is so filled with devotion, and that love flies beyond man-made boundaries in a Spring where every soul is in absolute Joy in the Ocean of Sound! Every time these ears hear a piece performed by the human beings that you bring together, it is filled with that same Joy that rows music across the river of the world and into the skies, where all identity is lost and what remains is oneness with these great composers whose inspirations were born from their hearts. And the love from their hearts was so much that it continues to penetrate the world until eternity. They, in truth, allowed themselves to be the instruments of the One who Created of Music. And, now, here a humble group in the Netherlands is, being instruments of the instrument! Thus is music and its power. From this filled heart of mine, I wish you all to grow in this homage toward Bach and music itself! May it be completed, and may music forever reign before you all!

Tengo varios años escuchando Netherlands Bach Society y sus conciertos son Sencillamente Hermosos y un divino regalo al ser quien escuche ..!

those birds 0:47, that kind of playfulness and relaxed posture.

my personal congrats for all orchestra

Una verdadera delicia cerrar los ojos y soñar según se hace sentir cada uno de los instrumentos en solitario o al unísono. Maravillosa interpretación de la orquesta con esta delicada y bella versión. Mil gracias por compartir tan especiales momentos. ¡FELICITACIONES!🌝⚘

I don’t have words to describe how magnificent and fantastic this interpretation of the Red Priest Four Seasons!! Bravo 👏 to infinity!!!!! The NBS is an outstanding ensemble!!! And Mr. Sato is such a magnificent interpreter of Baroque music!! It’s mind boggling and surprising to see some thumbs downs 😐

Finally a Baroque music ensemble, playing Vivaldi at the most accurate way we can hear it. I was really tired of those romantic stylish orchestras with the wrong instruments like they were playing Mahler.

Spectacular.

MR. SATO IS THE PAGANNINI OF OUT TIMES. A GENIUS AT HIS MUSICAL INSTRUMENT.

That's just great. So expressive, not written in paper but certainly expected. Thanks!

now those violas really sound like the dog barking! and thats a compliment! BRAVI this some great playing

Muito lindo essa interpretação. Jair. Manaus.Brasil.

the end is a brilliant idea....it's all an as though a wistful afterthought. BRAAAAAAVI

Absolutely beautiful.

What is the name of the viola player left hand side of Mr Pieter Affourtit? Does anyone know? Thank you for this performance, Netherlands Bach Society which so perfectly fits this gorgeous spring morning.

Fantastic!!!!!!!

The people applauding between movements.........

las onomatopeyas... que frescura de interpretación. Bravos todos!

classieux !

which is the isntrument with a lot of strings? i always tought vivaldis spring was played with a harpsicord

holy viola

Finally, an interpretation that isn't so insipid!

Na het AllofBach-Project ook een AllofVivaldi-Project?

👍👍👍👍👍

Netherland Vivaldi Society

nie zbyt mmi się podoba ale no ok ;-;

Is it correct to play something different of what it's written?

More like E-flat major.

Interesting and masterful, but conduction by an instrumentalist belongs in rock bands. The music suffers from ego.

Vivaldi played in romanticism period?... Expressive, but it´s too much for being Baroque!

The most boring concerto i've ever heard 😴 Listen to that repetitive basso continuo, the same notes all the time. Typical of Vivaldi

I dont like it

I’m so glad I have this RU-vid channel to use when I’m teaching students who are new to “classical music.” This is such a wonderful breath of fresh air in a world so full of stuffy, Romantic interpretations of Vivaldi. I’m glad I can show and not only tell them that early music is exciting and dynamic.

Hermosa interpretación!...de una calidad extraordinaria. El solista se inspira y saca lo mejor de sí. Los diez minutos que dura el video me han cautivado totalmente. Saludos desde Santiago de Chile,

I so love Mr. Sato's playing.

The violas are magnificent in the second movement! Good job

Heavenly

This is great. The changes, contrasts, strong attacks, combined with lyric beauty, so good!!

The audience should be silent among the movements.They do not deserve the high level of this performance

I am here cause I read that it should help me memorize my vocab list

YES! This is how it is supposed to sound like. Now you can actually hear all the things that Vivaldi wrote in his sonnets. It's bad enough that nobody recites those anymore, but in modern performances even the sounds get lost sometimes. Just read this before you listen to the piece and you'll hear what is going on: Allegro Springtime is upon us. The birds celebrate her return with festive song, and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes. Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven, Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more. Largo On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him. Allegro Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring.

I think Sebastian might be jealous that you're playing something other than his works! Actually I think he's fine with it. Good job, everyone.

Heerlijk!

i have heard a few versions of vivaldi's quatre, and many of them lurch and hiccup at the tempo changes. in this performance, the tempo changes make sense to my internal metronome. sato-san arigato.

2nd movement 3:43 3rd movement 6:27

Origins of music unevidenced. Except it is gift to humanity from God the Creator. Music continues in heaven. Discontinues in hell. Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth for one purpose only - to die on cross for remissions of pre-existing sins of every single person and to resurrect. Jesus Christ providing forgiveness from pre-existing sins for every single person, salvation from eternity in hell and free entry to eternity in heaven for all who repent of sins in Jesus Christ. Other side of death is eternity. Eternity in hell. Or eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. Penalty of pre-existing sins already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept HIM. Repent sins in Jesus Christ name. Be saved from eternal in hell. Enter heaven. Enjoy heavenly music. For free.

Baroque! baroque!! baroque!!!

My standard of Vivaldy "Spring " is Imujiti, violin solo Ayo. Sato and Netherlands Society sound more dry, accurate. I love this also.

DO 3:22

I just caught the sound of the bagpipes in the third movement😮!

Mooi ! hier ben ik helemaal blij mee, de viola's in het 2e deel zijn verrukkelijk ! ! ( = in English delicious ? )

..gl'Augei..spirar de zefiretti ... e persino la zampogna .. si sente proprio tutto !👏

Maravilloso.

Vivaldi penned the first viola joke!

Bravíssimo . Grande interpretação desta obra maravilhosa .

You can hear the birds ! Amazing work

I felt like I had never listened to this piece of music.

Me encanta Las Cuatro Estaciones de Vivaldi...mi favorita La Primavera!! Maravillosa interpretación...genial el solista!! 😍❤️

A...vivaldi piece????

School brought me here.

Magnifico !!!! Bravo !!!! =DDD

this is sooooo good! Fantastic!

3:43

Schöööön.

What a wonderful start of Spring! Many thanks for this great gift!

A refreshing change from show-off Nigel 'Our Nige' Kennedy!

The most boring bass line ever composed lol

Striking the violists. They seem like a single voice in the second movement.

I just realized... This is the Netherlands Bach Society. NOT NETHERLANDS VIVALDI SOCIETY.. 😂

Thank you*****🌈🤩🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🤩🌈

Lindo, lindo!!! 😍❤

♥️

largo : sorry but you failed

Ich muss mir diesen Müll für den Musikunterricht anhören

iCH MUSSS MIR DEN LAKS QUER UNTER DER NASE HERZIEHEN FÜR MUSIK

Hallo mein Name ist Luca Jansen und ich muss mir den Schrott wegen meinem blöden Musiklehrer anhören also Scheiß drauf

The clapping between the movements kinda triggers me a little, otherwise an outstanding performance.

What is this ?! This is all of Bach, BACH, Why?
