Vivaldi Concerto in d 'per Pisendel' by Giardino Armonico

[askim925]

2:44 - 3:47 stunning. And the double stop of the third movement makes my stress get away ever.

[uli22es]

Arriba la novia!!! ah no es el violin!!! Es lebe die Braut!!! ach nein ist die Geige!!!! The Wedding of the violin? well i learned.. to support the violin 50% with the schoulder and 50% with the hand.. but... anyway he's great and an amazing musician and was so beautiful to see them Live here in Monterrey!!! With Kindest Regards!!!

[CarlHammett]

lol the lead violinist look like a retard when he plays

[omoshiroidayo]

that beard makes him 10 yrs younger.

[bta1987]

why did the main soloist make his archet waaay too tense? it almost breaks my ear at some point...

[elizacarla97]

415hz? think so.

i really <3 vivaldi's pieces, most of them are just lively and happy i guess(no idea how to describe) and i am also the same. It just suits me :D

[95Madara95]

@elizacarla97 ya it is 415

[ElenitaVideo]

Unbelievable, I can't stop play this video one time and more, and more, so I always find some new more. It's amazing the feeling, the interpretation, no doubt ,they are the best in the Vivaldi´s interpretation.

[eudossa]

Oh yes...I think that Vivaldi was a little devil...not a priest!

[BBRENTTAGHAPP]

Vivaldi's music is so sexy. There's just something about it that's so exciting and passionate haha :D

[glaglaglaglaeddy]

Just wondering. Is their formation by any chance a less common formation or is this a custom positioning of the players?

[Tenifus]

Excellent. I want that harpsichord in the back.

[amorediahmad]

And I'm still wondering what was passing by the ears and the head of Vivaldi when he wrote such wonderful pieces!!!!

[aminharpsichord]

VIVA VIVALDI .....

[MrCarrococo]

The silence in the middle of cadenza is incredibly beautiful (3:16). I was shocked when I heard this other world`s kind of silence. Muy hermoso. Felicidades.

[RobinInnle]

@cgordon6969 Well, from what I recall, this concerto wasn't for Vivaldi but rather of the incredible german violinist and composerJohann Georg Pisendel. Although, it takes one virtuoso to write for another!

[boomer4666]

his violin looks unusual....anyone know why his bridge is so short?

[reinux]

@boomer4666 it's a baroque violin. the strings back in the day were mostly "cat gut" (which is actually sheep gut despite the name), which are looser and sound more mellow. i think the bridges on modern strings are taller because the strings are also wound more tightly now. a lot of the tunings back then were about a semitone lower too, though some church organs were in fact about a semitone higher.

the bows nowadays are also less round, for the same reason and also to allow for faster motions.

[pinkmapviolin]

@reinux his fingerboard is also shorter

[reinux]

@pinkmapviolin yeah i never figured out why that is. maybe they never played really high notes back then like they do now? not sure.

[alzanca1]

non cliccate sulle pubblicità lasciatele morire.

[31122051]

SUBLIME !!!

[RosaParks0GETBaC]

doe anyone know why is mr. onofri so grimly skinny now?

it looks disturbing...

[Turenne64]

Enrico Onofri es uno de los grandes especialistas del violín barroco y su elegancia es proverbial. Il Giardino Armonico constituye el epítome de la interpretación barroca. Son geniales, y cuando hacen vivo al gran Prette Rosso, es que todo está dicho. Gracias por subir el video!!! Saludos!

[Addictedtomemanga]

My violin looks exactly like his o.o Same color and stuff too. Idk if his doesn't have tuners though, mine didn't until I had them added on -.-

[harrison28514]

@Addictedtomemanga And such a huge distance between the fingerboard and the bridge, too? I'm curious.

[Addictedtomemanga]

@harrison28514 ....huh?

xD

[giancoscat]

GREAT! THANKS FOR HAVING PUBLISHED ..

[nivique]

Enrico Onofri = One of the best violin soloists.

[voltamore]

@nivique you are absolutrely right. A true master of sentiment and sound!

[teamjuano]

Thats a very nice violin he's playing and of course he plays wonderful, this violin has a very nice clear, sustain, silvery tone...I wonder what kind of violin hes playing?....anyone?

[teamjuano]

Very nice violin he's playing, it has a very nice clear, sustain, silvery tone...I wonder what kind of violin hes playing?....anyone?

[lazyhound]

Let us not forget Locatelli, whose concertos Op.3 were admired and studied by Paganini. The Locatelli cadenzas, which even today need the best technique to play, inspired Paganini's 24 Caprices Op 1.

[RobinInnle]

@cgordon6969 While Vivaldi was a great talent, this concerto is dedicated to a man who's influence and talent were so great that he left the likes of Vivaldi, Telemann and Albinoni dedicated a small number of concertos to him... Johann Georg Pisendel. Interesting also to note that these cadenzas are in the score written by Pisendel himself.

[leomulder]

@cgordon6969 This comment makes no sense.

[89krysie]

The violin that he is using has such a beautiful sound.....I wonder who made it, and how old it is...

[milstein91]

@89krysie your concept of sound is a little beet distorced i would say

[musico981]

forza Vivaldi..!

[splincerhunterX]

Vivaldi rocks!

[Mikado8686]

3:19 till 3:48

[giggebaua]

violin bridge without a heart? interesting....

[torontoquads]

Why the conductor??? A small baroque band doesn't need one.

[Harmonieuniverselle]

@torontoquads Il giardino armonico without Antonini isn't really it.

[voltamore]

@torontoquads Because it's not "a" conductor. It's Giovanni Antonini. A genious. A magician! He is (together with Onofri) why they play the way they play.

[paradoxicus]

Su fraseo y vibratos, son maravillosos.

Hay una nueva concepcion e interpretacion de Vivaldi,maravillosa a todas luces.

Recogen y amplifican el gran legado de "I Musici"e"I solisti Veneti".

¡Viva Vivaldi!

[sslohier]

gorgeous! and so richly played with deep emotion!

[bersa888]

This concerto was also part of the Op. 8 concerti "Il Cimento dell'armonia e dell'invenzione", which included the Four Seasons...

[MaryakaFerrari]

Maybe he seemed to cry because he was making beautiful music. Sometimes beautiful things just make you do that lol

[chantsun2]

Why the soloist seemed to cry?

[bta1987]

@chantsun2 you're right, ha ha

[noygam]

d minor is such a sad scale :'(

[Aereliz]

Among Vivaldi works is some that is really great and differ from other. This is one of them. And great performance))

[Cembalist2009]

Thank you for this wonderful video! Simply only divine music. The Cadenze is very nice!!!!!!!!!

[AshegheDarya]

Beautifiul all the way thru. My fav.

[PARISA7777]

This is still my favorite!

I love the third movement which begins at 6:34 !!! It is brilliant!

Blessings :) . . .

[koliatima]

L'oeuvre et l'interprétation sont magnifiques!

Merci pour cette belle vidéo.

[chantsun2]

What is 'per Pisendel' ?

[locutus90]

literally "for Pisendel"; he was a famous German violinist known to Vivaldi.

[chantsun2]

thx!

[bubblykings]

This concerto written by Vivaldi, was for his student the German violinist, Pisendel. Vivaldi wrote a couple of others for him as well.

[chantsun2]

Thx ! I know what the meaning is now!

[maxotti]

Who is the solo violinist?

[solinka21]

Enrico Onofri

[pistoriostboner]

Gracias por brindarnos esta oportunidad de escuchar musica tan bella. Llevo 3 o 4 años buscando este concierto. Gracias por subirlo, has hecho felis a este trombonista.

Maestro Raul, gracias por pasrme el link.

[thelightisahead]

Mm, I think I've read the same quote, I think the same man observed what he considered to be a lack of cantabile quality in Vivaldi's tone though... who knows?

[gordon290189]

this concert belongs to "Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione", not to "Il giardino armonico"...

[purre25]

Il giardino armonico is the name of the orchestra.

[gordon290189]

ok, sorry ;-)

[damdarch]

Just because this cadenza goes into high positions does not mean it was composed by Vivaldi.

[gaefranz]

In a note to the score Vivaldi wrote,in Italian, ' Per li Coglioni' , which can be translated with FOR JERKS ( yes, like a harsh teacher would say).Later, he apologized to Pisendel and said that obviously the comment was not meant for him.

[mrmolinodelahoz]

Per le coglioni means litterly for your balls.

A rather common Italian expression until today.

[robynsalain]

un vivaldi de toute beauté.bravissimo !

[Lutzenberger]

hes such a genius and the others too!

[purre25]

The 2nd movement gives me tears in my eyes.

[purre25]

the sound is incredible.

[Guarneris]

I have also read that cadenza and improvising use to be the case in the Baroque concenrn. I jut find this fantastic!

[alexnax888]

questo video, "muove gli affetti"..grazie!!

Onofri: incredibile!!!

[Guarneris]

xuyaoyork, this is fantastic!, the best I have heard recently. Note that this guys play short diapason violin with not use chin-rest, bow is full tense, the sound is magnificent rich colorful and breathtaking, Thanks a lot for this treasure, They have rescued a Lost Vivaldi

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Lovely observation...and breathtaking is right!

[RobertBruce3]

I love this Onofri's "gypsy" style of playing Vivaldi.

[MissLimLam]

where is this concert?? It is a beautiful theatre!

and beautiful music. (The Cadenza is actually alright!)

[alduflo]

wow this is such a sick video they are using baroque bows and everything!! damn the playing is awsome! best interpretation Ive heard of this piece!

[vsovereign2]

3:00-3:20 hurts my ears...

[HARMONICO101]

Enrico's flourish at the very end of the third movement is one of the best parts of the performance.

[HARMONICO101]

It was I think. I'm glad he has the guts and creativety to do that though.

[dilaviv]

Enrico Onofri, Luca Guglielmi, Marco Testore..: des vrais musiciens!Il n'y a PAS SEULEMENT LES NOTES mais la passion, les "affetti", vous touchez les coeurs des gents. Un votre admirateur

[cagnititi]

sì ma in questo video il cello di continuo è elena russo , senza togliere nulla a testore

[waltcamp71bis]

La grange violoncellista Elena Russo

[waltcamp71bis]

scusate l'errore ...riscrivo e correggo:

il cello di continuo è la grande e bellissima Elena Russo.

da Walter

[saturne46]

Je ne me lasse pas du jeu tellement sensible du violon solo : Enrico Onofri. Une merveille. Bravo

[firebreathone]

My apologies for the previous comment. I forgot to logout and one of my housemates gladly took abuse :(

[firebreathone]

FUCK THIS SHIT NIGGA WoooooooooooooHOO~~

[firebreathone]

I listned to it again today. It remains astonishingly beautiful

[thelightisahead]

Ah Vivaldi... you can always rely on him for some cracking good fun instrumental music, especially in (but of course not restricted to) the major keys. And he's full of ideas - structural, melodic and at times harmonic, always with exuberance and grace. Hate it when people criticise him as being samey or formulaic - I can call to mind many very distinctive concerti by him, and indeed will post them!

[ChristianKalos]

@thelightisahead I understand what you mean however I am in the middle, when one does the 'samey' as you kindly put it, it can get very monotonous for the musician but is also considered unprofessional to not... but do you not wish sometimes you would be surprised when there is something different you did not expect in a performance that still sounds beautiful!

[paolojacm]

Si! Lo conosci?

[Galiah13]

Lovely indeed!

[PARISA7777]

Thank you so much for posting this!

I love this piece esp the 3rd movement :) . . .

[noonescrying]

And the fingerboard looks shorter than others... am I wrong about my observation?

[Lesolin]

Yes, good observation. He is playing a baroque violin, which has a shorter fingerboard than a modern violin. There are several other differences. For example, the bridge is flatter than a modern setup, and the sound post is setup differently. And most importantly, it is always played with gut strings! :p

[noonescrying]

Oh, thanks to you. ^^

Gut strings! i feel sorry for the cat, but i appreciate his availability. Ha,ha. Greetings

[noonescrying]

And, sorry but i have one question, it is hard to get a baroque violin on this times? well, not now, but, may be in fifteen years O.O

[Lesolin]

Haha, well actually it will probably be easier in 15 years. Most baroque violinists play on replicas of baroque instruments made by violin makers (luthiers), which have become increasingly popular. I'm trying to save up enough money to buy a baroque fiddle myself right now. :)

Also, in response to your other post, gut strings actually never came from cat gut; most often they used sheep gut. Today, most string makers use synthetic materials, but a few still use traditional methods of real gut.

[noonescrying]

Hi again, i have another question. The baroque violinists in the respective solo part of the piece, they improvise the solo, as used to be, or they perform an existent solo?

[noonescrying]

Ooooh i understand why he tie the violin to his neck. Is that a Baroque Violin?

[Viahandel06]

One of the most moving pieces I've ever heard. And Il Giardino Armonico plays it as it should be.

[jonathantosio]

What phoenominal playing...!!

[755stan]

Simply fantastic - thank you!

[fkorn]

I loved how it began! So powerful...

[jmdez]

Come on guys...we are talking about a group of men that - for all we know - truly loved and respected each others music.

[michaelispan]

Awesome. Thank You subscribed

[nadyart]

I would like to know the name of the violinist with that white scarf...

[HARMONICO101]

Enrico Onofri

[HARMONICO101]

Forgot to say, principle violinist of Il Giardino Armonico. He has also done a bunch of solo recordings with other baroque orchestras as well.

[annakim925]

Bravissimo!! I can't explain my emotion in Engilsh excactly. Johann Georg Pisendel is German composer. He learned Violin under Vivaldi in Venecia. I think, this music is most difficult Vivaldi's work among I've seen before. I don't know how to play Violin. But I can realize of this. In first movement, I had goose pimples at most high sound. And third movement, double stopping(?) looks like so difficult.

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

WOW!

the double stop section caught me off gaurd didnt know they used them especially in vivaldi :O

[anonimoalfin]

Thanks for posting it! I've been looking around for this precise clip long time ago! By the way, HARMINICO101 is absolutely right (but I love Vivaldi A N D Telemann the same, I mean, I couldn't imagine the world without any of them... Life, intolerable).

[HARMONICO101]

I love Telemann too. I wasn't trying to degrade his music or anything. Just speaking facts. I have Telemann's "Wassermusik" up on my channel now. That piece has a ton of verve and energy.

[anonimoalfin]

I know, its beautiful, thanks for posting it! By the way, I love your channel, GREAT videos u have there :) And also I really learn a lot from your comments in the videos, and from some conversations one can find here about performances THANKS!

[HARMONICO101]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate the comment! Glad to know that my channel is helping to both entertain and educate!

[skyguitar]

Vivaldi was the master! i know bach was more prolific. but vivali has something that its to dificult to find in the others composers.

[nosino1]

Il Giardino Armonico.......  Son unos maestros, es la orquesta más fiel al verdadero barroco. Interpretaciones maestras.

[osculoinvitro]

FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

[paolojacm]

L'"assolo" di violino e' meraviglioso, vorrei avere lo spartito anche di quello!

[8497289]

As with all music, half of the performance is interpretation. Il Giardino Armonico are always superb interpreters and they always bring out the best in whatever they play. To say that we wouldn't have Bach or Telemann without Vivaldi might be going a bit far. I personally prefer music of the german and french baroque eras as oppose to italian.

[HARMONICO101]

The fact of the matter is, Vivaldi's music was highly influential to Bach. Bach transcribed several Vivaldi pieces for the harpsichord and did a version of Vivaldi's concerto for 4 violins. Bach's concertos are based on the Vivaldian form and share many technical similarities in the use of ripieno theme and changes of key. Bach literally learned the Italian style from the music of Vivaldi.

[HARMONICO101]

Telemann's music is in fact heavily based on the new Italian style (or galante style) that Vivaldi was a highly significant figure. He is one of the earliest proponents of the galante style and was incredibly popular in North Germany, where many emulated his style (including Telemann). For exakmple, the second movement of Telemann's Trio sonata for flute and oboe in D minor (TWV42) has a recogniazable Vivaldian style especially in the use of syncopation and ripieno theme.

[HARMONICO101]

Also, now watching this video again. I hear just how much emotion this piece has. The extended violin solo around the 2 minute mark is absolutely soaring. The second movement is mysterious and ghostly, the third is filled with verve and passion. This msuic has a spectacular emotional depth that few composers of his time were able to reach.

[kriskashmir]

yes!

Vivaldi's largos and adagios are always just so touching

I love bach and telemann as well, though german baroque tends to be a little more mechanical than venitian,

or atleast what I have played...

[firebreathone]

How can you possibly call the master of all music (Johann sebastian Bach) mechanical?

:0

[fkorn]

I agree with you. I truly love this piece and this is a great interpretation!

[8497289]

typical vivaldi concerto, demonstrating the virtuosity not only of vivaldi but of Enrico Onofri (violinist). but as is the case with much of vivaldi's work, it lacks a particular emotional depth such as can be found with Bach or Telemann

[HARMONICO101]

I like Telemann & Bach alot, but we wouldn't have the Telemann or Bach we know if it wasn't for Vivaldi. Your comment also leads me to believe you haven't listened to alot of Vivaldi.

[HARMONICO101]

Frankly too, Telemann's music is not generally "deep". He wrote alot of "casual" music. If you can prove me wrong, give me some TWV numbers and I'll give those pieces a listen.

[HaMoOhAhA]

Telemann is not REMOTELY deeper than Vivaldi. I'm siding with Harmonico there. The Four Seasons are enough evidence to prove that.

[annakim925]

Bravissimo!!
