Vivaldi : Concerto per mandolini RV558 (allegro molto)

[luppo3]

Soooooooo beautiful! Heavenly!!!!!!!!!! Even my heart hurts from this beauty!

[MsrBernadotte]

En revanche, le mot "salmoe" dont je ne connais pas la provenance, mais absent de la langue française à coup sûr, gagnerait à être remplacé par le mot "chalumeau", ancêtre de la clarinette, connu de nombreux musiciens.

[batchava]

Real spring/...How has he succeeded in doing it every time in a different way?

[kaporandrej]

Amazing music!!

[KokoMcMonkey]

I love the aluminum foil on the bridge to emulate the tromba marina.

[smitz5555]

got to love vivaldi!!!!!

[leoram1988]

Do look at their faces! They're really enjoying music. They love it. It's fabulous.

[Tidebeckons07]

This is so cool... what are those much larger strings that resemble the mandolins?

[eoghdes18]

@Tidebeckons07 Theorbos

[MrMariobianco]

Fantastico, ritengo che questo sia lo spirito con il quale occorre interpretare Vivaldi, gioia, assoluto divertimento, fuori dai classicismi come il tempo in cui era stata composta.

[sampe1981]

baroc 'n roll!!!

[davidsv36]

Vivaldi= genio!!!!



[SenseiBerial]

Wspaniałe...

[dmode1]

beautiful



[ninjabear2010]

i wish i can play an instrument

[dolorandoardo]

semplicemente splendide: partitura, esecuzione, mandolinista...

[markw999]

Joy. The older I get the more I'm convinced we've lost the capacity for simple Joy. Glad to see it's still alive and well somewhere, for somebody.

[CarlHammett]

These people are so fucking strange

[Tokushimaz]

@CarlHammett What do you mean?

[CarlHammett]

@Tokushimaz I didn't see anybody with a normal facial expression

[bearshampoo7]

@CarlHammett strange in what way? do you know musicians well and know how hard to perform a piece like this quality? at all?

[CarlHammett]

@bearshampoo7 I'm a musician. I was talking about their facial expressions. Do not get upset for such a small thing!

[bearshampoo7]

@CarlHammett I am not upset at all, and i don't treat it as a big thing as well, and their facial expressions are very normal too since lot musicians looks like that too, i said that because i really think they are wonderful players, sorry for the misunderstanding, I am a film music orchestrator.

[TheZacharyArneson]

There is something both hilarious and wonderful about people playing such intense music on obscure Baroque instruments while wearing modern, casual clothing :)

[monfera]

@TheZacharyArneson haha maybe it does sound different if musicians wear corsets and wigs

[dndninteennintythree]

Venezia!

[arqpita]

4:56 MINUTES OF PURE PLEASURE!

[husserliana]

omg great shit ! makes me laugh loud each time I hear it ( true ! )

[leoram1988]

The female theorbist at 2:44 encouraged me to watch this up to the end.

Just kidding:) A nice piece of baroque music!

[jasandjasand]

@leoram1988 nah dude;DD its a barogue mandolin;DD

[leoram1988]

@jasandjasand Oh yeah, sorry=) But the woman is still gorgeous=))

[Geisttanzer]

@leoram1988 Actually that's not a theorbo... it's a mandolin. But yeah, it's quite a nice rack indeed.

[leoram1988]

@Geisttanzer Yeah, you're perfectly right. I was too charmed by that female musician to remember the differencies :)

[wenzu1989]

Why is the artist Itzak Perlman ?

[TheHyenaShow]

bravissimi...altro che bravi :)

[gomonkeyfly]

why are the foils stuck to the violins ??

[kingstonblack]

Makes me wish I'd stuck with playing the recorder at school...

[OSPCHELMSKO]

Po Polsku też papę rwie z dachu VIVALDI

[jairoadven3184]

Wonderfulllll!!!

[SALTYWOOFHOUND]

[Unholyspaghetti]

[omoshiroidayo]

[itaskyline]

Grandioso!

[moltoallegro19]

What would I not do to have been there in the early 1700's and listening to this being performed by maestro Vivaldi himself!

[31223006]

Que bueno ver y escuchar música clásica interpretada por gente con ropa casual!

[ClaraVictoire]

c'est tout simplement magnifique! :)

[joseramella]

En agradecimiento a tanta maravillosa musica al gran genio Antonio Vivaldi en recuerdo afectuoso en el dia de su 270 aniversario de su muerte 28 de Julio de 1741!!!!

[thegiovy1978]

Love Fabioooooo! So great!

[gr4l9um20b7o]

I can tell that's what it sounded 400 years ago.

[dedissimo]

I WANT THAT HARPSICHORD!

[strangerheart]

GREAT

[AmadoDom]

esto devio ser un exito cuando vivaldi lo presento por primera vez en italia, lastima que vivaldi hubiera sido pobre

[sergiori]

@Humorgous no more , excluding these rare examples, thanks God

[Iustificassia]

Bravissimi! Suonato virtuosamente, grazie!

[SelahtNotlin]

Who is the maker of the chalumeux in this video?

[zamppa63]

Nice pair of mandolins!

[thethikboy]

Fine and passionate musicians - the recorder musicians are the sparkle and fizz of this intoxicating champagne of a concerto

[EDGARDOPELOS]

what kind of mandolin is shown in the video

[EDGARDOPELOS]

what kind of mandolin is shown in the video

[Cacacos]

os violinos tão abafando os outros instrumentos, mal se escuta os mandolins.

[67grevale]

COMPLIMENTI A VIVALDI ...MA ANCHE ALL' AUTORE DEGLI AFFRESCHI ALLE PARETI DEL SALONE ...THIS IS ITALY !!!

[lucorvo]

A feast of sounds!

[Vegio7]

The original title for this concert is "Tromba Marina" that means "water spout" (or sea tempest, as you like...)!

The director at the end is saying: "Bravi ragazzi, bravi!" ("Well done, guys, well done!")

[throwscats]

That was awesome! It makes me kinda wish musicians dressed up in plain clothes for concerts. Classical music has just become so...stuffy, and needlessly so. Is it true that, in Italy, they will sing along or even cheer for particularly exciting cadenzas? If so, I'm moving to Italy :P

[TheVaughan5]

@throwscats Since when does more formal clothes have to mean stuffy? I've been to receptions where black tie has been the dress code and they have been anything BUT stuffy!  So many people these days simply have no imagination.

[throwscats]

@TheVaughan5 Since when is everyone on youtube super defensive and takes every comment personally? Oh wait, since always :P.

Look, dude, I simply meant that it's not appealing to a lot of people, from an outside perspective. The formal dress gives off either an uptight impression or an impression that classical is reserved for people with money. You can't clap for exciting cadenzas or even in between movements (in the US, I know there are other countries that differ in this).

[throwscats]

@TheVaughan5 In any case, it has nothing to do with my imagination. It's kind of a thing. I'm 27, I work with "common" folk, for lack of a better word, and they all like hip-hop and football parties and this sort of thing. Trying to describe Vivaldi, to them, always leaves an impression that it's a different world than theirs and is somehow not a relateable form of music. This makes me sad, because classical music is EXTREMELY current if people would just listen.

[throwscats]

@TheVaughan5 To end this lengthy reply, I simply meant that I wished classical artists would wear formal clothing more often. I enjoy the glamor of a recital, with champagne and everyone all dressed up. I do, I really love it. I wish people, in general, dressed up more often if they are able to.

All I meant is it would be nice if they dressed like normal people every now and again--normal as in how they normally would dress. Make sense?

[thegiovy1978]

Marvellous, nothing else to say! Thank you Fabio!

[newwindow7]

BRAVI ... BRAVISSIMI..... E BRAVO MAESTRO VIVALDI !

[juliusfed]

@Humorgous Maybe in the past. Now bunga bunga

[FrenzyFaust]

@Humorgous no, you are totally wrong!

Here in Italy we have 3 main values: money, pussy and power.

This video is good to remember us what italians were and what we could do.

In Italy there's no "space" for this things.

And I'm really sad for my country...

[redbrian3655]

@FrenzyFaust USA too..... and Netherlands. Art means NOTHING!

[wurlic300]

These people are really having fun and loving the music! Bravo! Why do the violinists have what appears to be aluminum foil in the strings near the bridge of their instruments?

[gabrieli123]

@wurlic300 It helps create the buzzing sound that Vivaldi asked for in this piece.

[basselyrique]

@joekrone Did you see the bassoonist's face at 2:35??? LOL!!!

[Sigolfur]

@basselyrique Like he saying... "Not a big deal.."

[juliaCSL]

COOL! funny how only the bowed string instruments are the only ones that stay popular till today. BaROCK 'n' ROLL FTW!

[JustinFunkyBite]

Stupendo! Bravissimi!

[Oleg84ish]

парень с флейтой чуть не взлетел, а вообще звучание великолепное!!! вот что значит аутентичные инструменты

[anyardsroad]

Fabio Biondi plays at Chateau de Versailles - 15th July.

[anyardsroad]

Makes me want to walk outside and kiss every Italian I see !! Absolutely wonderful. When did I last see an english orchestra perform with such elan....?

[NeoSymphony]

Danzate, gente! Danzate!

[amw62]

Bravissimi!!!

[paoloromo]

Bellissimo concerto! Ma la carta stagnola sul ponticello?? :-)

[frcluc]

I'm surprised there are only 320,000 views. This video should have at least 50,000,000. Maybe Rebecca Black can help--it could get 100,000,000 views.

[00skorne00]

AMAZING PERFORMANCE ! STANDING OVATION (i  would)

[nusgnik]

@00skorne00 how could anyone not be delighted with this music and the masterful playing???????????

[alucardz100]

braaaavoooo!!!!

[profesorsergio]

Maravilloso e inolvidable. Mille grazie. Favorito. Auguri, Sergio.

[Javier141145]

Simplemente ¡¡¡Maaaaaaraaaaviiiiillooooooo­sssoooooo!!!

[BaboonBassoon]

this is a concerto for multiple instruments :P like your desciption says :P

[grammofono1]

bravi ragazzi...

[Vip3r4]

Poco e nessuno invidio.. ma la passione che questi "ragazzi" mettono nel suonare.. Sì..Quella la invidio!

[LiseMargareta]

Oh, man blir så glad av att lyssna på och se det här framförandet, blockflöjtisten i den ljusa t-shirten har ett underbart kroppsspråk :D

[CminorMaxG]

I believe that only a few more decades shall pass before all

[AntoineS16]

Barock'n' roll!!!!!! :D

[romekjagoda]

@AntoineS16 that's exactly what I wrote re some other concerto by Vivaldi. This is no less powerful and energetic than rock music, but far more sublime and elaborate.

[consuelolaso]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[consuelolaso]

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[norbertoguarinello]

the best jam session ever recorded!

[norbertoguarinello]

Thank you. Very beautiful, concerto 'veramente concertante", great video.

[jbaravel]

Bravo, magnífico

[Javier141145]

¡¡¡Bello, enorme, grandioso!!!

[IOVANNIG]

Doubtless Vivaldi is among my favourite authors...

compliments on your performance

Viva l'Italia....

[renatoc3924]

FANTASTIC! Where can I buy a cd of this performance? And who is this fabulous group?

[nissonissart]

@renatoc3924

Yo can find the CD "Fabio Biondi - Concerti per molti istrumenti" or "con molti istrumenti", I do not remember exactly if this is "per" or "con" (for or with).

He is the only one playing this piece so quickly, and I find it more exciting than other versions, which are at the "normal" tempo.

[rnalamo47]

@renatoc3924 The cd that this piece and 6 others are featured is Fabio Biondi Europa Galante, Concerti per mandolini. I have it out from our public library but i'm sure it is available at Amazon.

[Jearryy]

Realy good! Vivaldi for ever

[gloriain9]

Bravo

[sylviebb91]

Sublime Magnifique J'aime grave trop trop bon <3

[31122051]

SUBLIME VIVALDI !!! MERAVIGLIOSA ESECUZIONE !!! TUTTI FANTASTICI !!!

Grazie !

[carabiniere1981]

@calmocaos No, c'è molto di più! Noi abbiamo avuto tutto: imperi, artisti, poeti, miti, papi, santi.... ogni Paese del mondo ha una parte d'Italia. Ma un difetto di noi italiani è il pessimismo! Cordialmente, Viva l'Italia!

[calmocaos]

@carabiniere1981

Grazie, Carabiniere1981, e ricambio con altrettanda cordialità. Ma c'è qualcuno - ne può leggere il commento che ha pubblicato qualche settimana fa - che non è d'accordo con noi, e ritiene di vivere nel migliore dei mondi possibili.

[NIC1DAN]

musica meravigliosa suonata in maniera magistrale... bravissimi

[pawsoned]

too fast, in my opinion the conductor ought to 'hold their horses', so to speak.

[andrikain]

no mameees k rolota... jaja hasta el fondo chingaw xd

[Miauriceful]

@calmocaos

Ma povero ce sarai te e tutti quelli come te!

[Denisestrocio]

Uau!!!!! or, as we say in portuguese, Uau!!!

Can you tell me, please, the name of the young flautist who dances while is playing?

[InbictaProductionzZ]

@Denisestrocio o nome dele é maurice steger, é suiço

[thegiovy1978]

@Denisestrocio

The name of the flautist is Maurice Steger, a super flautist!

[JANNES448]

josti band?

[sylviebb91]

Excellent supère bon incroyable sublime magnifique Merci <3

[cotama3]

love this!

[armstrongtessie]

how beautiful!!!! thank you

[galliard1981]

Long live Italy! (greek guy here)

[Sandraeli1]

Haha if Vivaldi lived this era will be a rock star for sure!!! Haha i love this piece

[Guthorm]

Peccato i violini invadano un po' tutte le frequenze soffocando spesso gli altri strumenti ogni volta che c'è un "Forte" da suonare, altrimenti che dire: BRAVISSIMI!!!!!! :D

[24kalell]

Manuel i love you!!! magnolias.... yeeeah!!! ranits.... guek's

[24kalell]

Manuel i love you!!!

[GaleoDeus]

This makes me want to get up and start dancing across the room!

Excuse me while I do just that...

[slothfat]

Every time I watch this, it makes me smile :) and I can watch it all day!

[frenchiecocorico1]

Ah! les sagouins ils ont sabordés la partie des Trompettes Marines (TROMBA MARINA) pour mettre des violoncelles à la place.

Shit, filthy pig. they supressed Marine Trompets to replace them by Cellos.

[valentueur64]

do like it said Lades Neffous freejazz on violin

[ThePrincessNatashka]

Viva Italia! Such a beautiful country, full of beautiful (but lazy) people. I had a great time! Graci! Thank you!

[manuelspcool]

Vivaldi has like 10,000,000 souls to give us all that feelings =' )

[xyaqua]

Our Red-Haired Priest (Vivaldi) never ceases to amaze us- brought to life by Fabio et EG- this is centuries of history brought to life, it must be black magic.. there can be no other explanation

[sunp]

does anyone know why they have aluminium foil wrapped around the strings?

[jimtsirojohn]

@sunp they want to produce a sound more similar to the organs of Vivaldis period !

[monsieur1jourdain]

@sunp This concert calls for 2 violini in tromba marina (violins in the manner of a trumpet marine). What was meant exactly is not clear today, but musicologists believe it was some kind of special mute applied to violins, hence the aluminum foil.

[basselyrique]

@calmocaos Sono d'accordo. Purtroppo il Bel Paese è governato da una classe che non capisce nulla di questa bellezza!

[zemekzdenek]

tijanikeita : ...yeah i agree, again, again, again.......absolutely fantastic! Viva Antonio Vivaldi! One of the first, and one of the best!

[vitocorleonpan]

very good!

[tijanikeita]

@calmocaos confermo...



[ionitamc]

wonderful. I can listen this music again, and again, and again...

[MrMariobianco]

assolutamente fantastici...non mi stanco mai di ascoltarli, hanno Vivaldi nel sangue!

[Hikikomori013]

The parchment rose on the 6 course mandolin is beautiful. The instruments are a work of art.

[basselyrique]

@Hikikomori013 Btw, am I the only one to hear a rather clarinet-ish sound coming from the salmoé's??? :-D

[riccard789]

Italians and their own music

[franciccio67]

@calmocaos che con i tagli allo spettacolo stanno uccidendo

[noviewrestriction]

Does anyone know what instrument the guy is playing at 2:28? It's delightful!

Thanks!

[RACCATTApalle91804]

@noviewrestriction the instrument in Italy is called (Fagotto ) , in English (Bassoon)

[MrMKH2010]

@noviewrestriction It looks like he is playing a Bassoon, but I can't tell.

[bobbinoful]

riconosco all'interno l'insegnante di violino che c'era nel mio conservatorio a 4.29
