Beautiful!

[MrDarknesslover]

Que estupidez que si A415 o A447 por favor disfrutemos la música! estoy seguros que sus oídos no pueden sentir ninguna diferencia!

[VivaldisWomen]

@MrDarknesslover To our ears, the sound IS different! And the organ at La Pietà is at A447, similar to other Venetian organs of the period.

[MrDarknesslover]

@VivaldisWomen Me imagino! pero estoy seguro que igual disfrutan la música barroca!

wow que hermoso tanto oboe como cantante linda vos

[KennyMisia]

Beautiful!!!

[CharlieBladeRemus]

Those adlibs at the end kinda surprised me though...lol

[CharlieBladeRemus]

Very beautiful singing. Her voice texture is not too mature/dark, but at the same time not too bright. But just right! :)

[americanoboist]

Great baroque oboe playing ; and in C#!!!! My God.

[ericoschmitt]

@americanoboist its not c#, just a=447

[americanoboist]

@ericoschmitt : Fingerings say otherwise. It may sound 447, but she's definitely playing in C#.

[ericoschmitt]

@americanoboist right.. well, maybe everyone else is in C (447) and the oboe is in C# (440)...

[TheCrazyCello]

@ericoschmitt Actually everyone else is at a=440, playing in C major. Molly is playing an oboe in a=415, and having to play in C# major. Not only that, but she sounds way better than Gail Hennessy in the DVD recording of this! MAJOR Kudos to her.

[TheCrazyCello]

Furthermore, Hannah's E's are actually higher than Molly's, considering Molly's playing an E# (so, an F on the oboe, unless there's a short fingering for E# as well?) it's even more impressive that she's corrected the intonation that well! Same goes for the B#s, they're beautifully low.

[DoodlePolly]

That is just beautiful - the oboe and the voice - and all the Vivaldi women!

[dresenboin]

Bravísimo Molly!!

[krazzieem]

Amazing! You are so good, Molly and Hannah! Congratulations, you officially have me jealous.

[dresenboin]

Bravo Molly!! Bellísimo!

[Suegelbalch]

Absolutely beautifull performance. Is that an Anciuti copy pitched at 440hz, made by Sand Dalton?

[Vanchy58]

Divino bello !

[maximo1963]

Nice Hannah, beautifull voice, good job of Molly, excelente perfomance,Amazing!!

[VivaldisWomen]

Just to clarify: so-called "baroque pitch" (A415) wasn't used in 18th-cent Venice, where pitch was similar to today's. We take our pitch from surviving Venetian organs of the period (A447 when this was filmed at the Pietà). For our new Gloria recording we used an Anciuti oboe copy pitched at A440.

amazing

[CharlieBladeRemus]

And what is that guitar-like thing called? (And I don't mean the string bass)

[fagottehautboy]

@CharlieBladeRemus I think there was a misunderstanding. They're playing at 440 but the hautboyist is using an isntrument pitched a semitone lower at 415, so yes, sadly for her, but still uber-props, she's playing the thing in C#mj. Also, re: the big lute, it's a theorbo. :D

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@fagottehautboy Oh, okay! Thanks for the explanation! :)

[PipeOrganistSC]

Wow! Very Nice! Well Performed FTW glad to see that some still enjoy the fine arts and take pride in pwning!!

[TheCoquigirl]

c'est une version que je trouve très "enfantine"

[CowboyBebop444]

fantastic

[VivaldisWomen]

We did try to get an A440 oboe, but had no luck! We were certainly impressed at the time...

[KWDEMON]

@VivaldisWomen So..... I have been trying to find A: Recording of the stuff you played in the Documentary or B: a DVD of the Documentary.

[fagottehautboy]

everybody give molly a huge hand because she just played an aria in C# major. that borders on foolhardy. epic win, right there! (why couldn't someone fed-ex her a 440 instrument?) either way, BRAVO!

[CharlieBladeRemus]

@fagottehautboy Actually that's C Major, not C# (I have perfect pitch, lol). Still very beautiful!

[karpov89]

It is just lovely! Are you coming to Sweden?! I do really hope so! Feel most welcome!

[225gabi]

Beautiful. Lovely video, grat performance.

[TaniaSSmith]

What a lovely video! She is so young and her voice is so gentle, and she sings so earnestly. This is actually better than the version I have with Suzie LeBlanc singing. It's got a more upbeat tempo to suit the youth of the singer.

Very enjoyable and relaxing . . .
