Vivaldi - Bassoon Concerto in D Minor RV481 - Mov. 1/3

[Gustaveleloup]

I think it's an excellent and powerful performance.

[awfulguitarplaying]

after listening the entrance of this song, i wondered when he wrote it and just found out that vivaldi was 56 years old. i was thinking that a composer who is at his early 20s could write that type of very joyful and childish melodies

[sologuitar7]

GOOD

[TheRomanStalker]

This one is my favorite of the Vivaldi Bassoon Concertos.

[kalalill]

I think it's too fast

[smole133]

no the tempo is just as it should be, it says allegro. This is allegro

[1y]

@kalalill

There are lots of variations in the tempo. So, at the end, the rythm is quite good

[FoxFagottjunge]

Ahh, now I understand. Sorry about that! This comment-system on uTube really does suck - when one looks over comments one has no idea who is discussing with whom! :o)

[FoxFagottjunge]

I agree with you, but what is your point? I am not overly familiar with the oldies, but are you implying that a more 'pointed' sound is easily achievable on the oldies? Mind you, I don't know it so I'm just asking out of curiosity, not implying something...

[FoxFagottjunge]

A baroque bassoon should not sound baroque? Now that's something new! I don't think this sound would fit to classical pieces but I find it highly appropriate and not fitting. Of course, you just stated your opinion, but how could Azzolini make modern-bassoon-sounds with that horn?

[Silverlin212]

I love and hate this bassoonist.

[UncleFizzmo]

The pic goes very nicely with the piece... Nice. :D

[manicjupiterflute]

I agree that it's too soft. I've heard recordings that have more energy to it.

[HARMONICO101]

Like what?

[digglefallen93]

How flamboyantly homosexual, dear lad!

[TheMysterion1234]

wow that really paints a picture....and i really see what your talking about! lol

[HARMONICO101]

I can't imagine it having any less energy! Watch it in high quality with the volume up.

[mc4lyph52404]

i get to tackle this piece next semsester i cant wait :D

[onceuponabassoon]

Thank you for your reply, I said I didn't like it, not that I didn't understand it. All the same thanks for the info and please understand that I wasn't insulting the performer, the piece or the instrument because I get the distinct feeling that you were trying your absolute best to defend it against my wrath. On the other hand, you might just like sharing your knowledge.

[onceuponabassoon]

I've never been a huge fan of the baroque bassoon. Sounds too nasaly for my liking... sort of "pinched" but that's just me. This is still sweet. I love the second movement of this piece. I'm playing it for my first year jury, and listening to recordings of it just makes me feel scared hehe.

[imanay7aga]

Do u know how can i get this concerto mp3

[HARMONICO101]

I don't download any of my classical music. I purchase the CDs. I recommend you do so also, because the classical music industry is struggling, and these performers put alot of time and effort into making these recordings for us.

[beatnikish]

@HARMONICO101 : Very well said; thanks for taking the time to upload such beauty. (Picking up my own CD today.)

[Superape613]

@HARMONICO101 I agree completely and I always do the same.

[mrgabest]

I love clean recordings in which you can hear the breathing of the players. There's something horribly mechanical about a recording that filters out the little human things.

This is also a mind-blowingly good version of this piece. Simply perfect. Thank you for posting it. I'm going to buy the album right now.

[HARMONICO101]

" love clean recordings in which you can hear the breathing of the players. There's something horribly mechanical about a recording that filters out the little human things."

I know hey! Completely agree!

[bassoonfreak102594]

I also like when you can hear the clack of the keys. It makes it feel more like the performers there with you.

[SouthsidePrankster]

The king of melancholic music.i love vivaldi to death.the harpsichord, the strings, the bassoon.perfect.

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

I think it says in the CD booklet that they play on Venetian Baroque Standard Pitch of A=440...based on an actual baroque bassoon of the period ryt ?

People don't realize how difficult this piece is on Baroque Bassoon.... they're thinking it's easy "with a modern bassoon in mind."

[HARMONICO101]

Yes.

Do you know the specific differences between the modern version and the Baroque one? I know that the baroque one has a lot less holes but other than that I don't know.

[HARMONICO101]

It is a baroque concerto, so if you don't improvise a bit, then you aren't really playing it properly.

And yes, the baroque bassoon certainly has an interesting tone.

[whomakemefeel]

It's great piece of Bassoon instrument concerto, that genius and the work of music unique and Vivaldi use in this work Bassoon, Harpsichord, Violin, Viola, Cello.

[HARMONICO101]

*"if I hadn't known this piece I would have thought, that this is a cello"

??? I know the baroque bassoon sounds different but.... lol

[orinbay]

I am always amazed at the skill of the musicians who play Vivaldi, as his music is often technically difficult to master.

[jonathantosio]

=) =) =) =)

[simonaris]

Obviously played by a superb Italian group who have Vivaldi under their skin. Fabulous baroque bassoon playing. Bravo

[Tigermantt]

Thumbs uppppp

[byexkitty]

BEAUTIFUL!

El fagot suena con una intensidad, y con un ritmo.. perfecto..
