Some Japanese dudes playing a guy that lived >400 years ago and >9000 kms away ... truly, music has no boundaries, not in space, in time or in culture.
The two trumpets stand out yet blend well. One or two commenters appear to pay attention to the fact that the performers are Japanese. "Western Classical music" has long ceased to be a Western phenomenon but has become cosmopolitan - has been performed, studied and practised in non-Western countries for a long time and in every continent. Nowadays, those who write about or perform works from Gregorian chant to contemporary Classical music can be of any nationality or race.
Brilliant. Finally!! Played at the proper tempo (not like a high school marching band). The conductor's understanding and use of accented and soft notes by the strings was exceptional and appreciated. Well done,
Wonderful Vivaldi as always! I started appreciating the trumpet concertoes, symbolically an instrument of angels. Great trumpet concertos also by Leopold Mozart, Joseph Haydn, George Handel.
Both excellent players, but what a difference in styles! The older chap stays straight and stands almost perfectly still when playing and when not playing, whilst the taller, younger chap bounces around, fidgets with his water key (even when not necessary) and appears to be really pleased with himself. Interesting contrast. And the older guy makes it all look so effortless...!
This piece played at the end of my Vivaldi's four seasons disk when I was a child. I always assumed it was part of the seasons. Guess not. But I'm telling you, listen to the four seasons and then this, all that violin and then bring in the trumpet, it's amazing.
Funny how CDs condition us like that. Not too long ago I was having to clear up my siblings' misunderstanding that BWV 1054 is not part of the third Brandenburg concerto even though it came between the third and fourth Brandenburg concertos on CD when we were growing up.
I think is some kind of etiquette behaviour, because in many major concerts (particularly those in which almost only high society members attends), no one claps between movements, but until the entire work has finished. I'm really not sure of that, it's only what I've observed. What a wondeful performance!! (I'm clapping right now :D)
Correct, this is the right way to proceed. Since the orchestra was performing a full concerto and not individual movements from different compositions, the audience must NOT applaud. Many people do it by mistake, so "ideally" the audience should wait until the conductor turns to them to start applauding because this guarantees the composition is finished (of course, if the conductor evidently stops conducting and starts saluting his musicians, like here, it's obvious his job is done).
¡Nada qué hacer con estos japoneses (orientales)! ¡Son una máquina!... ¡Una seriedad única! ¡Ni se arrugan! ¡Impecables! ¡Una interpretación magnífica, maravillosa! 👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Queste trombe non suonano..cantano! Hanno perfettamente messo in pratica il principio del nostro grande interprete vivaldiano Claudio Scimone :" per ben suonare bisogna saper ben cantare" e da una cultura lontana dalla nostra (geograficamente) una interpretazione perfetta!
Beautiful music of great virtuosity and remarkable skill. The joy of music through the ages, lives here right now!! Most majestic and divine performance! [`Salutes!!]
Complimenti ai due solisti di Trombino !!! Raramente si ascolta un Vivaldi del genere...nessuno cerca di prevalere sull'altro,anzi si ascoltano sensibilmente e cantano veramente insieme....che spettacolo !!! Il suono del Piccolo trumpet della Schilke è qualcosa di Divino !!!
Belíssimo concerto para 2 trompetes: energético, exaltante, penetrante, trepidante, ... lindo... lindo. Vivaldi, nesta composição, despertou com o seu coração cheio de vida, cheio de clamor... cheio de liberdade!! Vivaaaaaaaaa! Beautiful concerto for 2 trumpets: energetic, exhilarating, penetrating, tremulous,... beautiful... beautiful. Vivaldi, in this composition, woke up with his heart full of life, full of clamor... full of freedom!! Cheeerrrrrssssssssssssssss!!

I LOVE THIS PIECE! The very first time I'd heard it was back in 1975, but at the time, I did not know who had composed this music until I heard it years later!
I’m not at all well versed in Vivaldi. But over time, as I’ve been exposed to more, I can’t recall not liking any I sampled. The first time I heard this piece (“All the President’s Men” movie, in my early teens, mid to late 70s), I thought it was Bach. And looked for it as such. Thanks to modern technology, and SoundHound, I found out why that search had been previously unsuccessful. I will be sampling even more now.

Splendido! Non si compone musica barocca, ne' la si esegue con tanta maestria senza essere italiani e cattolici.... i due Solisti, il Direttore e l'orchestra tutta sono italiani e cattolici, forse senza saperlo! Ma e' cosi'!
