  • lol bin so geil

  • I heard this piece the 1. time for over 20 years ago as an intro to a danish television program, I was very young at the time and didnt think much about it... Then last Sunday, while laying on my sofa with huge hangovers, I was listening to this radio program that I really never listen to. To weak to change channel and there it was... My God its beautiful... Pretty sure it made that Sunday a little less painful... Grazia Maistro Vivaldi 8o)

  • @Sjisjin2 Ohhh og mange tak til dig også Hr. Bagger for den smukke fortolkning, det var trods alt nok dig jeg hørte i radioen den søndag... :O)

  • You play beautifully! It brought tears to my eyes.

    Thank you.

  • this song has been etched in my memory since a child watching sesame street....finally found it ....

  • Superb ! I first heard this piece of music played in a scene from the movie The Cowboys , starring John Wayne . Always liked it . Thanks for this , I like this arrangement . I have heard John Williams playing this too , but he playes it too fast for my liking .

  • This is beautiful. I am a student of guitar who started late in life and I really admire your style of playing. Thank you for the excellent performance.

  • Wow I used to play this beauty,I have to practice and learn again. it'll be worth it

  • Padre Antonio Vivaldi.

    

  • is it me, or does this guy look like Eddie Van Halen's dad

  • just heard this on classical fm, and what a beautiful song it is!!!

  • A beautiful rendition.

  • Magnifique ... je crois que je n'ai jamais rien entendu de plus beau -

    j'avais entendu ce morceau de musique la première fois, il y a 15 ou 20 ans, en regardant le film "un enfant de Calabre"

    l’interprétation est sublime - merci Boris

  • I remember first hearing this music on ETV years ago. Seems it was played to a flower opening if I remember correctly. Then I heard it in a scene from the John Wayne movie "The Cowboys". One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written I believe.

  • Such an evocative melody! The beauty and melancholy of it is astounding.

  • quel bonheur !!! merci !!!

  • Please feel free to play this at my funeral. BTW God plays guitar in his spare time and he helped Anton write this.

  • incredible. the pacing is perfect, non-rushed, expressive without being gaudy. best i've seen/heard of this piece yet on youtube. thanks so much. =]

  • Beautiful playing, beautiful sound, beautiful music!

    

  • Vivaldi kunne åbenbart også lide Dus med dyrene. Han rippede titelmelodien;-)

  • Master piece

    

  • Beautiful. Thank you.

  • One of the best performance! Ich liebe es von meinem ganzen Herzen.

  • I love this performance. Superlative. Thank you for posting this sublime performance. I played this piece on the Big Island of Hawaii recently and posted it to youtube. .

  • Vivaldi gives the performer lots of room to improvise, embellish, etc. I just love this tasteful, understated performance. Thank you!

  • really gorgeous ,smooth and wonderful  - - zZZ

  • Thank you for playing

  • Que coisa linda!

  • I've listened to several dozen versions of this piece lately and Bjorn Bagger's version is by a large margin my favorite. Like many people mention, I heard this piece as a kid and loved it but had no idea what it was called till last year. I listened to dozens of versions of it on classical albums galore but always felt disappointed. Many versions play it with distracting technique or like they're in a hurry to get somewhere. But this version to me gets the mood and makes it beautiful.

  • Beau morceau. Nous vous proposons notre version Flûte (Recorder) - Guitare

  • omg, incredible interpretation

  • Thank you very very much for posting this Vivaldi guitar concerto, I have fully enjoyed it.

  • this is a great version! hey everyone i've got my own arrangement of this same song without orchestra with guitar, give my channel a look and help me get at least a little more popularity

  • What's amazing about this is that it sounds like he's playing with rest strokes (right hand) but looking at the video it appears that he is not.

    Can anyone explain for me?

  • I love your expressive style. Your articulations give the piece a rubato sort of feel. Quite excellent.

  • @yoshiki356

    thanks for the nice comment

  • Getting married to this music in one month!

  • @thehexgod

    Best wishes for the marriage

  • @edition49 It took you a month to get married? :)

  • @thehexgod

    How did the wedding go? I'm getting married to this piece in a couple of months.

  • @thehexgod Well then, I hope the music has a steady job, is faithful, doesn't eat crackers in bed, and exhibits at least minimal table manners.

  • @thehexgod how did the wedding go? and what about the honeymoon, where did you go? :D

  • I heard this song in 1976 as a child watching the summer Olympics. For 34 years, I’ve passionately searched for it in hopes of hearing it again.

    Tonight I stumbled across a list of classical-guitar pieces I didn't know, then found this page on YouTube -- and I began to openly weep as the song I had sought all my life came pouring so beautifully into my heart and soul.

    The tears of joy didn't stop until long after the last notes faded away. Thank you so very, very much for posting this piece.

  • @Eris1Lobo

    thanks for the nice comment

  • @edition49

    It happened the same to me , since I heard this amazing sound closing the sad scenes of Abraham´s Gold, with Hanna shigulla going out the cemetery, after bury her only daughter!!The music and the situation put me down with a endless sadness! until today i cry when i see this movies...

  • @edition49 Amazing, the power of music hey?? I too felt the same way when I heard it. Cried like a baby, Reminds me of watching this with my mom during Sesame Street.

  • @Eris1Lobo I also have loved this beautiful music since I was a small child and found out today what it is called...I have been lucky to hear it quite a few times, but could never find out the composer...Now that I know I can hear it any time I want

  • @Eris1Lobo I had a very similar experience. I heard this in my childhood, i think on sesame street. I spent my whole life trying to find it again, until finding it just before my wedding, where it was the processional. it's really so perfect as a wedding piece.

  • @Eris1Lobo i also remember this from somewhere in my childhood,it evokes such warm memories.So funny how music can also be a time machine.

  • @Eris1Lobo Your comment resonated with me..

    It was Sesame Street for me back in the early 70's.It was played during, for what I can remember, a wild urban garden short.

    Although raised in a classical household it took over 20 years to reconnect with it. I too, reacted the same.

    Thank-you for posting.

  • I used to fall asleep to this piece everynight. I first discovered in as the closing theme in a little movie called "A Little Romance" staring a 12 year old Diane Lane. When someone asked me about what is some good classical guitar it popped into my head and I gave her the link to your page!

  • @lierlaky

    Thanks for the nice comment

  • @ thaiten10 & cainusrising OMG, thanks for clearing up the Bermuda Depths movie, I knew I had heard this peice on Sesame St & The Cowboys, but always wondered why when I really meditated on this song, I saw a giant turtle swimming deep in the ocean. Now I know!!!

    This is my absolute favorite piece of music in the world, thanks for sharing it!!!

  • I've heard this song once, in one movie: The Cowboys, starring John Wayne, Roscoe Lee Brown, Bruce Dern and a bunch of kick-ass up-and-comers... Still makes a grown man cry... Check it out.

  • Lovely....absolutely lovely :)

  • Great for letting go of the outside world and focus on your inner peace! Also very good for meditating!

  • simplemente Hermoso...

  • The first time I heard this song was in the movie 'The Cowboys' with John Wayne. Such a beautiful song. Thank you for posting.

  • Interesting fact - this was written by a priest!

  • @utube9000 no mere priest could write a guitar concierto of this stature. only the mastery of vivaldi.

  • Stay away from Jenny when her eyes glow green...

    Seriously though, this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the post.

  • @thaiten10 Are you referencing the Bermuda movie? Was this played in that? I have always remembered that movie for some reason. It haunted me for years.

  • @cainusrising Ha-yep! This piece was used, but if I'm remembering correctly, they took a few liberties with it; the main feel didn't change though. Same here on the movie being a vivid, lasting memory; and we're in good company; I thought it was just some one-off made for TV flick that nobody really watched or remembered. Nope! Go on IMDB or Amazon and check out the comments if you care to; lots of people have our exact same reaction.

  • never heard this slow movement played more beautifully

    an absolute joy to listen to

  • You only here things like this when you fall in Love with a lady, on a hurricane sweeping beach, and she's the only one there, who don't care...

  • In a scene from the John Wayne movie "The Cowboys" a young kid plays the first 40 seconds of this around a campfire.....the combination of this beautiful song and that setting is something you'll never forget.

  • So far, the only piece of classical music I've ever heard that has the potential to give me a lump in the throat if I am in the right mood. :)

  • I've been playing classical guitar for 2 years, do you think I have the skills to play this song?

  • @jorgel0124 of course it seems like a really easy piece

  • This is beyond moving and beyond amazing. I see I'm not the only one who was haunted by hearing this song on Sesame Street so many years ago. It took me over 30 years to find out the name and composer. I don't think there are many songs that can match this one in it's simple and profound beauty. The joy and peace it evokes is nothing like no other. And the performance is absolutely breathtaking. God bless you for posting this.

  • Soothing, wonderful.

  • I love the placid look on the soloist's face. I can still see it if I close my eyes. It shows in the music.

  • This is an example of why Classical composers were said to be drawing upon "The Music of the Spheres".

  • hermosa partitura exelente ejecucion

  • it reminds me of spring in teh woods watching everything bloom, its beautiful

  • amazing.

  • anybody know a tab?

  • huhuhat jemand Lust mit mir zu chatten bin wieder Einsam und gelangweilt

  • This is hauntingly beautiful ,Imagine to touch people in places where they thought was lost ,it sprung new life like a gentle flower germinating in spring slowly spreading roots it brought forth a shining ray of light to a dead heart ......

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • @masonic786 Damn you must've been super depressed huh lol

  • @edward2868 Try dead by no fault of your own....Depressed by events that turned someones world upside down....

  • I love this... listen to it all the time. sooo beautiful and peaceful...

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • Beautifully presented and of course a wonderful performance of a magical piece. Did you know this appeared on Sesame Street? They have such good taste. Really. Thanks.

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • @dingoswamphead Le fait que Vivaldi ait été un certain temps abbé, c'est à dire, homme de Dieu, ne lui lui aurait-il pas insufflé cette légèreté toute religieuse de sa musique même profane?

  • Hermosooooo!!!

  • Boris , Bravo!!!

  • this is from the movie the cowboys with john wayne

  • God, what happened to good music like this?? :( :( :(

  • As you can see, it's being played. :)

  • This is just amazing. Love the ethereal melody, the sensitive playing. The guitar is not my favourite instruments, but this time I´m just speechless. Such a beauty. Thanks for posting

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • This is quintessentially the sound that could bring about copious tears of gratefulness that the Universe has the ability to observe itself through Us!

  • These are the things that make me feel closer to God

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • is so amazing, I love this!!!!!

  • I put this performance on twice a day, been doing so for the last 4 month.

    Such a brilliant and beautiful rendition.

  • This is beautiful. So lovely and ethereal. My all time favorite Vivaldi composition. :)

    5 Stars. ♫♪

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • ..and I used to think that I am the only freak who still learns to play Vivaldi's and Carulli's music.

    It is difficult, I shall never be a master at tit, but this piece of music is so well played, the sound is great, it is a pleasure to listen to it..the music is bringing back memories and it is bringing tears to my eyes...

    Thank you, edition49... lovely.. well done .. it leaves me speechless..

    Love from Germany..

  • thanks for the really nice comment

  • I love this piece I think it is full of joy and I am so glad that besides your excellent playing your face is radiating that joy. I have never seen a guitarist with such a nice smile before! Yes, making music is fun even if it is hard work! Thanks for sharing, respect,

    Gergely

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • I love this piece. I first heard it on a nature documentary that used to be on in the 80's with two guys that would walk and pick stuff up and point out animals and talk about them. Does anyone know the name of that show? I miss it. Thank you for shring this lovely piece.

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • Thank you, thank you THANK YOU for posting this beautiful song. I have been looking for this song my whole life. I heard it once in passing and had no idea who the composer was and this saddened me. You have seriously made me one happy lady!

    Great job!

    Jessie

  • buenazo

  • haunting and magnificent with such depth of atmosphere, I just adore it.

  • thanks for the nice comment

  • MAGNIFICOOOO!!!

  • This is so beautiful... I love Vivaldi.

  • Molto bene! Grazie.

  • dit is gewoon heel erg mooi....heeeel mooi!!!

  • From a John Wayne movie called ''The Cowboys", 1975... One of the Duke's best, trust me...

  • I have The Cowboys on VHS because it's one of my favorite films-because of this song...

  • @taylloraid 1972.

  • Beautiful... This is one of my favorite concerts of Antonio Vivaldi...

  • That is not only a complete non sequitur but quite impossible to understand. Try writing it in American English. I must look up "infernals spawns" & "taht lod" in my Martian dictionary.

  • Lovely. They did terrible things to this noble instrument when they reduced it to either the loud drumming or pallid tinny pluckings from a solid body via a loudspeaker usually turned up to maximum volume. There has to a specially hot place in hell for whomever invented that monstrosity right next to the guy who invented that honking saxophone.

  • You haven't learned how to appreciate music yet.

  • I guess not. I like that garbage that Mozart wrote.

  • Comparing an electric guitar to a classical guitar is like comparing a baritone sax to a trumpet. And for future use if you ever make a post complaining about something look up the information first. Many people know who invented the electric guitar.

  • Dunno.. Do you? But more important can you tell me why. Why is the beautful act of love between a man and woman replaced bysometimes by violent rape? Why was gold and siler coinage replaced by copper and nickel? Why were the wonderful cartoons of Disney replaced by the crud we see nowadays. As somebody said once, "There is nothing that is produced that cannot be produced

    of lower quality and sold more cheaply.,

    First came the guitar and then came

    ...that monstrosity some call a guitar,.

  • Why? Because that is Mankind. Cursed with Imperfection and pure idiocy.ifuliki Please remember this: You are Makind, We are mankind. no one other than God can be higher than us - we are all equal. So to impose our beliefs and opinions on others with such force, and expect it to be the only truth, is immaturity in its first stage. We are all entititled to opinion, but we are also entitled to respect from others. so show some.

  • Brestovia,To stifle an opinion one holds honestly is to show either disrespect to or fear of any who may disagree. The beautiful sound of the guitar has been raped by the addition of modern electronics in order to produce volume or a larger sound, noise in fact. While we make great progress in some fields such as medecine or anthropology

    in the field of popular musioc the barbarians are not only at the gates they have broken into the city. An opinon is not an imposition, Jordan.

  • You reject electric guitar music as an abomination in the face of classical. Flawed thinking! Rock music is of the people, expressing the primal feelings of the individual. You, Ifuliki, upon your pedestal, might call them the unwashed masses. However, one cannot compare rock music to the classical because classical is of the enlightenment, speaking to mankind's highest ideals. One may experience the full spectrum of musical expression. Fear may be keeping you from letting rock move you

  • are you fucking joking? Classical music is of the expression of humanity, not just the masses. You have to be a lunatic if it's about the highest idealls. I've never heard such rubbish!

  • This, Juggeraut, is known as reverse snobbery. Classical music is music that endures and is not ephemeral. In that sense much of the Beatles music is classical. Whether any of music the Rock

    generation enjoys endures is a question which will be answered in the fullness of time.

    Aled

  • Garbage. FLAWED THINKING did you say? No, I am a man approaching middle age who knows what he likes and likes what he knows. Beauty surely is in the eye and ear of the beholder. To the Inuit throat singing is beautiful but to those Africans who extend their women's necks with multiple rings, it is, as to myself, very likely an ugly sound. Those who ignore culture, background and experience are indeed narrow minded. (continued)

    Aled

  • (contining) I don't appreciate the solid, speaker enhanced noisy so called "guitar" because to my ear it is an ugly sound. If what you call "classical" music "speaks to man's highest ideas",

    to what then does "Rock music" speak to.

    As an expert you can no doubt satisfy my curiosity on that point.

  • oh,man shut up...guitar is far away of doing ugly sounds.

    if you dont like,dont look.Otherwise be kind and stop commenting crap

  • The human experience is so rich and varied, and music in its many different forms describes it. You are limited in your scope of appreciation of music (e.g. electric guitar vs. classical guitar) because you are a snobby narrow minded elitist who can't see art in any form other than what is "acceptable" to you.

  • That idiot les paul ruined it for everyone...damn him and those infernals spawns who play taht lod racket they call r&r.

  • Quite honestly, you have no right to criticize Les Paul.  He's a legend and his contribution to jazz/rock/blues was invaluable-Don't go off and be some music snob when you're all so blinded by your inability to even respect other genres of music.

    Sure, blues or rock will never have the finesse or complicated structure of most classical pieces-but it holds it own beauty in it's simplicity and raw emotion. I love my share of Vivaldi and especially Haydn, but my love for blues is just as great...

  • By the way, I love how profesor Boris smile and enjoyes the performance

  • This is a Vivaldi's melody of powerful inspiration. The interpretation capture all the tender and magnificent peace of the melody, thanks for posting this video

  • utterly beautiful and peaceful. i love dancing to this song, it has such grace

  • The first time I heard this song was during the children's show Sesame Street. I was 5 years old and never stopped loving it. Thank you for posting it. I have been listening to this video for almost a year.

  • The sesame street video is called sad flower film, have a look for it. I used to watch it when I was 5 too..

  • Thank you! I will do that . It will bring back memories for me!

  • OMG!!! I finally found this song! It's been bugging me all these years. I remember it from Sesame Street where the camera slowly panned up a sunflower in the rain. I think? Beautiful song.

  • Ah yes the famous weeping flower montage...

    Its on youtube, search; Sesame Street - Sad flower film

    Its beautiful and was the first piece of classical music I had ever heard as a child and it lives with me to this day...

    Vivaldi is supposed to have said that he was touched by God when he wrote this... I can surely see why...

  • Same for me....it is Sesame Street that introduced me to this song!

  • Omg! I thought I was the only one that remembers that episode. Wow you guys just made my day!

  • First time I heard this song was in the movie "the Cowboys", with John Wayne. One of the boys was playing it at night to the cattle to keep them calm and ever since then I have always loved this piece of music. :)

  • Thanks for the nice comment

  • Me too , I've loved this piece since I saw "The Cowboys" with my Dad when I was a kid.

  • Yes it was that film which introduced me to Vivaldi..

    Im glad it did!

    It is beautiful piece.

  • I first listened to it on the final scene of Herzog "Woyzcek". I fell in love with it since. Thanks.

  • This piece is the most beautiful piece of Vivaldi's. He did it and put his whole heart and mind in it. He did it and he really put feeling into it. Thank you Antonio Vivaldi for this wonderful piece of music.!! We will love and cherish it for the rst of the days of our life! :)
