[TheEleanorHope]

Outstanding performance! Bravo!

[turtlespameater]

I absolutely love this interpretation

[UnicornCivilWar]

You guys know he's playing viola, right?

[MrToyman32]

amazing



[dziady1]

Could we do without the dreadful titles

and history ! He is interesting but the

sound balance is awful ..and comes across as much sawing away by all concerned.

[georg1945]

beautiful!

[death0personified]

is this a different la Folia, why is there a cello? and they added variations...

[hyuque]

they didn' do vibrato

[JustinFanViolin]

@hyuque Baroque music did not use vibrato as we do modernly, it was used more as an accent to highlight notes, even in slower passages.

[hyuque]

@JustinFanViolin i see... thnx

[UnicornCivilWar]

@hyuque Actually they both did many times. It's a playing mechanic and it's overuse makes the song sound cheesy. Lots of songs specifically say not to use it.

[june22u]

i'm so much proud of you! great great great//////////

[sophelet]

Why are the cellist and harpsichordist not identified? This is a piece requiring the excellence of equal partners.

[duongngocvuminh]

He play or dance???

[ebosatta1]

[jean1938]

Pourquoi No 2 ? et misterioso ?

Sonate en ré mineur, "la follia" Thème et 23 variations, Op 5 No 12

[jorian69dtge]

@afrorufy90 Corelli se fiuman!

All'inizio mi facevo la stessa domanda anch'io, ma po ho pensato che forse lui stesso la chiamò "folia".

[TheMedale]

I whish to play this ... soprano saxofone !! tanks ! Ema

[0thawan]

EXCELENTEEE!!!!!

[russellkim98]

Very good, though I wish there was a violin to make a quartet.

[AfroRufy90]

Why everyone call it la folia...it s la follia...it means the madness..

[ChuckAvalon]

@AfroRufy90 For centuries, "follia" and "folia" have been interchangeable and the idea of madness is irrelevant. The earliest record of the word "follia" is mid-Renaissance Portugal and relates more to passion than madness. The flexibility of the word is understandable. What isn't understandable is your arrogance to a matter you know so little about.

[AfroRufy90]

Come on...I m italian...the word folia doesn t even exist..

[SirGlennGould]

no, la follia is the Italian and spanish modern term for it, but in the 1450s the correct term was folia

[thesacrament77]

emilie autumn has done an amazing rendition of this song

[rrrina]

Absolutely Gorgeous!

[GrosPaysan]

viola, violon, mais on s'en tape les mecs !!!!

On s'en tape!

Seule la musique reste !

[THErealEasher]

Thanks for posting this! It's very helpful. This is the best interpretation I have heard.

[pinkpiglet1234]

ELIZABETH!!! hi:)

[medchile2009]

amigo

eso es una viola, no un violin

pedazo de mierda

[lebu2006]

He is one of the top Viola players worldwide, great playing..

[Abrfitch1892]

Why does his violin look so big?

[japonorikan]

is a viola

not a violin

viola is more bigger

[Abrfitch1892]

that explains so much. I'm a violinist. I guess i was thrown off...by the corelli violin sonata

[jamesbnd1]

sorry to break it to you but it's a viola lol

[turtlespameater]

@Abrfitch1892 Because it's a boroque bow

[wasdwasd1337]

what bows are they playing with?

[bargsnaffle]

they're playing with baroque bows. That's why the sustained sound is much quieter.

[sophelet]

@bargsnaffle I love Baroque string instruments. These players are stupendous! And so much more so considering the greater reach on the viola fingerboard.

[guanax]

Excelente, me gusto mucho...

[ritaviolin]

Great! Thank you!

Could you, please write the names of cello and harpsichord players?

[getewei]

@ritaviolin

 Leon Berben, harpsichord

Klaus-Dieter Brandt,cello

[tsnstar]

I feel like to walk in the beautiful forest.
