0:23 -- I'd hate to have to play with that thing staring at me.

The difference between viola and violin is like difference between:

1 VW Polo and VW Golf (version for motoractive users)

2 Tennis Ball and Baseball ball (sport version)

3 Spurce and Fir (forest version)

4 10a girl and 20a women (woman version)

5 Firefox and Chrome (net version)

6 Scizors and knife

7 And finnaly the musican version: The violin have strings tuned in e² (659,3Hz), a¹ (440Hz), d¹ (293,7Hz) and g (196Hz) meanwhile viola have a¹ (440Hz), d¹ (293,7Hz) and g (196Hz) and c (132,8Hz).

@specodhec341 Most of that meant nothing to me other than 7

@specodhec341 Easy on the hertzes, that varies a lot, especially within this genre.

VIOLA not violin

[ScreamsFromTheThrone]

I am truly in love.. I am going to perfect this piece for my solo and ensemble for My Orchestra, I play the Viola And am excited to play this piece...

[indiankids786]

Tempo choice is nt good too slow at beginning and changes too often I think still amazing playing and sound but this decreased the experience to me

_____Novembre 2010.

Stiamo cercando un suonatore (una suonatrice) di viola d'amore.

Si sta eseguendo la colonna sonora di un film prodotto in Italia per il mercato americano (composizione originale del maestro Marco Marcuzzi).

Tutti i dettagli sul blog, che potete trovare cercando su google:

"IL CANTICO DI MADDALENA" (siamo i primi della lista che apparirà).

_____Grazie e fate girare.

My greatest disagreement with Biondi is in his tempo choices; but I must say that the quality of the recordings themselves is unmatched, always clear with no instrument drowned . . . one feels less like a spectator and more like a member of the ensemble.

[Silverlin212]

@dolofonos I totally agree, i just hate it when he has to go ruin a good thing by fucking up tempos.

[shirleystemple]

Absolut genial.

[DeathAngel1029]

First time I hear viola d'amore, does really fit the name "viola of love " doesn't it?

[InbictaProductionzZ]

@DeathAngel1029 it is

[xyaqua]

Vivaldist.

Biondi is a truer interpreter than we can imagine.

He is the primier interpreter- this is the state of the art- no truer interpretation exists-

God we are so gifted.

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Love this! Love this violinist!

[Elcomunisto]

@OriginalMoonbeam

violinist or violist? -.-

[InbictaProductionzZ]

@Elcomunisto he oftenly plays the violin, he's well known for that. s we can generally refer to him as ''the violinist''. if we're speaking of this particular concerto, we can say he's a violist :p

[OriginalMoonbeam]

@OriginalMoonbeam He is primarily know as a violinist, so I do refer to him as a violinist..in most of his CDs he plays violin --it's how I first came to know him and recognize him, though he demonstrates virtuosity in viola and viola d'amore!!!!! Quite a master!!!! Thank you for pointing this out!

[Shadowtech666]

@OriginalMoonbeam lol its not a violin...........

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

Wow... unique to all other interpretations Biondi's has by far the slowest intro... lovely !!! :>
