Thank you for posting!

[lou4tea]

[lebleh]

Is this a 3/4 time sig? or a 6/8?

[lou4tea]

@lebleh think its 6/8 if you listen closely to the tempo it changes from allegro to a slower walking pace i think its a lovely peice of music take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[lebleh]

@lou4tea Cheers for that, and lots of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooo right back at you.

[gdbeezy]

Where is the instrument described above housed? It it in a museum's collection?

This concert is the beginning of modern music

[Savci008]

The guy just went "Eww, bring that rule34 away from me!"

[beringui]

I listen to this everyday in the morning. @_@

[eftekhar2006]

I know I am going to be scolded by every one who actually knows something about classical music (that excludes me), but I really like Vivaldi, and Albinoni and Beethoven, and Bach a lot better than Mozart. It's really uplifting. I can't help it, I am sorry, Mozart's music sounds a bit boring.

[Gustaveleloup]

@eftekhar2006 Why would that be a problem? The thing is that Mozart has somehow eclipsed so many other composers, probably because of the circumstances of his life and death. His music is great, but he's not the only composer out there. That's why YouTube is great for introducing lesser-known composers to the world. Many thanks to HARMONICO101.

[GAIASDREAMER]

It is a beautiful recording and what a priviledge to use such an instrument. Superb.

Gaia.

[adamleites]

This really wonderful: one of the best concerto for oboe!

[Taguiltsev]

Темп бешеный, исполнение оркестром "Виртуозы Москвы" более выдержанный, чем этот экземпляр.

[thebloodofkingu1]

its def d minor fewls

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

Is this really D Minor? This sounds like C sharp Minor (The opening of this) otherwise it is really beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[UKpatriot90]

@FilmComposeRaHoppe you ought to know by now that all baroque music was always played a semitone lower than today

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

@UKpatriot90 Sorry, to be honest I didn't know that at all, I wonder why my former music teacher didn't tell us about this. I mean, I know that there are different kinds of musical tuning but I didn't know that. Why?

[UKpatriot90]

@FilmComposeRaHoppe What do you mean why? It's just how the style was back then.

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

@UKpatriot90 I don'T know I thought it was a matter of different tunings, like the double bass, for instance, can be tuned differently and solo tuning sounds higher than orchestral tuning. But know, thanks to you, I am a bit wiser again. Thanks

[UKpatriot90]

@FilmComposeRaHoppe No worries mate. Glad I could help!

[TheDavid2222]

This oboe has a darker tone than what I am used to hearing. It's almost English Horn-like. Is this Oboe d'Amore?

[mzoli1222]

@TheDavid2222 It's played on an oboe that was present in Vivaldi's days.

[ansyf125]

@TheDavid2222 This oboe has a rather darker tone, resembling that of a cors anglais because it's quite an old oboe from around the 1730's I believe. It's also made of a different combination of woods, unlike modern horns which are grendilla wood throughout unless otherwise specified. As noted in the description, this particular oboe tunes well to A=415Hz.

[discerdan]

Vivaldi was a frikn rock star! A musical genious that has and will transcend the ages.

Pourquoi nous l'aimons tant et les cuistres affectent de le trouver négligeable : Comme Rossini et d'autres, cet homme écrit pour nous donner du plaisir.

[PhilosophicalViking]

We know how Claude Debussy put Stephane(Etienne) Mallarme to music. I wonder which poet matches up to Vivaldi? Just something I'm pondering or musing as the case may be.

[zallouz]

I'm waiting the day that youtube disable Comments...

[daj721]

@zallouz Just dont read! This is an space created to express yourself the way you want.. It's also called freewill...

[zallouz]

@daj721 Yes I know that...But I think that no matter who write, play the music or what it is its name, we have to listen to it, enjoy it, without knowing anything...It's true free mind believe me...Just try that and you'll feel everything...

[polly10022]

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi truly is immortal! :)

[maplestoryrox48]

those of u ppl know the history of Vivaldi I wish Vivaldi dad cut my hair!!!

[guz11aug]

That´s perfect baroque music. Vivaldi, one of the best composers at this time, I love that sound.

[crazybay46913]

If it ain't baroque, fix it.

[lmvidal1]

@crazybay46913

LOL

[notethisname]

@PhysicalsimForever If you do not like repetitive music than you should try Bartok:) hehehe

[krifenix]

Big tits, yeah!!! ImI

[Totma11]

And indeed... not only is this old oboe crisp and piquant of tone, the ensemble has a fine vivacious colorfulness to it. A fantastic post!

[TheyCallMeRebecca]

@Riuk881 a 1 is the top rating :)

[Riuk881]

@TheyCallMeRebecca okay. Thanks for increasing my knowledge!

[leguatorre]

D minor is my favorite key

[DevotedToNight]

I love electronic music also, "Depeche Mode" is also my favourite ( earlier used to listen to Pink Floyd). Both genres are very inspiring for me.

[freemantemani]

[ShadyNightCrow]

@tonyrandom99 In my opinion, anything is better than that junk.......

[aledobretociastko]

[TheyCallMeRebecca]

I did a report on Vivialdi once. I got an F.

I played a Vivaldi concerto at contest once. I got a 1.

[Riuk881]

[Comprised]

@HashSmokerDude420 comment of the month

[OscarsanchezIII]

I discovered this concerto a couple weeks ago and I can't stop listening! :-)

[arqivus]

@HashSmokerDude420

Really... stop smoking that hash stuff...

[Tenifus]

@HashSmokerDude420 They didn't even have electricity back then, therefor no computers. This is just a modern recording by a baroque group. Yes, this music is still played today...

[bluestarbrat55]

@HashSmokerDude420 um...this is a modern recording of the piece...people redo them...like when pop artists redo 80's music...wow.

[BigBiff88]

Bach is the default best

[BigBiff88]

Bach is the default best

[pterorhynchus]

Absolutely beautiful music, but I would also like to know who made the painting.

...and why does there always have to be some stupid argument that starts from an infinitesimally small number of dislikes.

[gabykapps]

@pterorhynchus Infinitesimally small number of dislikes? Brilliantly phrased. And, oh, HOW I agree. But you see, my friend, there are an infinitesimally GREAT number of miserly idiots in the world. But listening to Vivaldi's, Haendal's, or Zipoli's oboes impresses a warm escape from daily grayness. Wish I could help you with the painting. My guess that it might be a venetian. Tiziano perhaps? Or Tintoretto?

[albibert]

Musica già bella di suo, in un'interpretazione magnifica.

[lovewillfly2sky]

excuse me , would mind telling me something about this oboist?

for example name , nationality etc.

thanks a lot

[melancholyhumour]

Why will anyone dislike this?

This is beyond perfection!

[deusies1964]

so delicatie oboe, so beautiful

[RainhadoCanto4]

Ah! The Oboe, with a sound as distinguishable as are most of Vivaldi's compositions!

[0mniaVincitAm0r]

[majav15mg]

@KELO504BsUP You need listens on spelling...

[machommbiano]

so spanish groove

[gecmartins]

At some point towards the end of the largo I think I heard something very similar to "Le quattro Stagioni."

[Nukefuzion]

@gecmartins Yeah Vivaldi tends to incorporate segments from other compositions.

[Oboecamilla]

bravissimi

[EGSC1]

I really like barock musik. And when I´m listen to this Oboe Concerto I´m thinking I´m in the barock epoche (I dont know what´s Epoche in english, because I´m from German). Do you play an instrument too? I play the Violin, the Violoncello and the Piano. (?woher?) have you the pictures?

[roman1akid]

My friend, thank you for the wonderful Vivaldi! And, if I may ask, who painted the clever, playful masterwork on display?

[roman1akid]

Thank you for the sublime music, friend. I have a question: who painted the clever, playful Baroque masterwork on display?

[XXMPZEC]

Just imagine Bach, Vivaldi and possibly Lully teaming up.Imagine the music and the egos!!!

[iplayoboe2]

i am thirteen and i play oboe, flute, and cello and i love this master piece by Vivaldi

[warmen0808]

@iplayoboe2 who cares if you play your not a genius :/

[ReturnOfTheStienway]

kicks marcello's ass. now i know why he wrote that manifesto against him... frekin JEALOUS!!!

[JohnnyTiDo]

Awesome. I've never heard an oboe concerto I enjoy as much as this.

[bwanna23]

@JohnnyTiDo Try G.F. Telemann, Concerto in E Major, TWV 53, for flute, oboe d'amore, viola d'amore. You might like it, also.

[xeikox]

maravilloso!!!

oboe y violin. perfecto!!! Adoro el oboe.

[aninon46]

alguien puede decirme en que año se invento el oboe, talvez edurar93 sepas algo, me parece un instrumento magnifico y no se nada de él. gracias

[uzmi100]

the best of the baroque!

[Xternium]

The tone of the oboe is marvelous. I actually couldn't even tell it was an oboe at first.

[tjwhite1963]

Baroque oboe--that's why it sounds different. Much more "musical" quality, and much less like the quacking of a duck (or braying of a donkey)! Have you heard the baroque "oboe d'amore"? It has a wonderful tone quality--so smooth, lovely, and sensual (hence its name). Interestingly, the baroque oboe blends wonderfully with the natural or baroque trumpet (valveless)--in fact, when the two are playing together, it is often difficult to tell them apart! Wonderful sounds, these old instruments have!

[danielchong1234]

Vivaldi's music is always the best.^^

[blewnuts]

HE'S MY FAVOURITE<3

[octagramt]

@danielchong1234 vivaldi vs. j.s. bach vs. handel (would love to put Telemann in the line up, but just can't....), vivaldi is the best? music snobs prepare to fight! haha (btw I love all) my money is on Bach though, sit down and play Art of Fugue Cannon per Augmentation in contrario motu on your keyboard and maybe you'll agree...

[taf289]

@octagramt

[taf289]

@octagramt I am sorry but problem is not this or that genius.

Problem is: what can possible genius? Can people do it alone? I think is necessary Someone who suggest people.

taf289

[aSilentElf]

This is beautiful. I couldn't help but to think of Alice in Wonderland when listening to this concerto. It is filled with excitement at some parts while filled with mystery at others all while maintaining a certain dream-like quality. I hope in the future I'll get to play this wonderful concerto.

[domchimic]

super

[edurar93]

Adoro el oboe. Yos soy un estudiante que toca oboe y llevo 6 años tocando

[AytidaRed]

I just LOVE the 2nd movement of this concerto. unusual concerto, but beautiful nonetheless.  Vivaldi is my favourite.

[maxxterror]

Them chocking syncopes :). A really interestning, yet uncommon piece from a true genius.

[bubblykings]

Interesting. I've never heard of this one myself, but I obviously love it.

[meluzyna55]

I like the oboe very much, thanks

[idunbin]

i'm working on this right now! it's great!

i'm not sure i'm gonna go for this soprano sax tone, though, lawls

[1993CorradoSLC]

Vivaldi is my favorite of the baroque composers.

[mindmonkey00]

@1993CorradoSLC Ikr personally i like him some much better than even bach or mozart. vivaldi seemed to make music that was very uplifting and complex

[wuli333]

@1993CorradoSLC

Mine as well. Incomparable.

[DRACHEN7]

Bester Komponist aus seiner Zeit

[TwilightLover02]

i love the sound of the oboe!

i play the oboe and like all oboe players, we never are in tune!

haha.(:

[troytheboy11]

Sounds like someone needs better reeds

[kyblueeyes85]

it's a baroque oboe... They're supposed to sound that way.

[iLikeBaroqueMusic]

Really?

[AytidaRed]

I have a recording of yehudi menhuin playing this on violin, its awesome on oboe too!

[shariotoflove]

when vivaldi writes anything in a minor key, it sounds very sinister...more sinsiter than one would imagine from a normal minor key piece...i love it man!

[debartzen]

Alfredo Bernardini es uno de los grandes del oboe barroco."Extraordinario."

[gushendar]

Excellent! I heard a version of this concerto but the oboe was replaced by a cello. The result is superb also. The cellist was Antonio Janigro with his Solisti di Zagreb ensemble.

[Silogistic]

And: Thank you Harmonico for the superb Oboe Concerto! It is actually one of the rare places where it can be listened.

[Silogistic]

My comment bellow was for harmonico and cancion and any other stupid one that has no idea about what it is watching!

[Cancion78]

Have you ever heard of Heinz Holliger???

Because if you do heard of him the present recording suddenly seems ...without value.

[HARMONICO101]

That's harsh.

Yes I have heard of him, but he doesn't play period instruments, so I'm not interested.

What I like about this is that one gets the chance to listen to an actual oboe from the period, not just a reproduction baroque oboe or a modern one.

[Silogistic]

That's NOT about what you like or not! However you are not able to make any difference in any field - I guess!

[HARMONICO101]

Excuse me? What are you insulting me over exactly?

[Silogistic]

Sorry, it was just a miserable error of mine! I would NEVER intend to offend you!

[CminorMaxG]

@HARMONICO101 I have been listening to many of your postings, and I must thank you sincerely, for without your contributions to enriching the culture of Mankind, the world might be a little colder. Do not dignify the insults of those who do not truly understand music with a response.

Gratias agere,

Harmoniconem

[mapqa]

So beautiful!

[Brandedweirdo]

Wonderful. The painting is an eyebrow raiser.

[Juroskoo]

Yes,,excellent,,and what about all oboe or flaute concerto from Vivaldi?????

[OriginalMoonbeam]

maybe it is just the quality of the speakers, recording or both...the oboe has a wonderful, woodsy type quality! I am a violinist but I played oboe also in high school. I gave it up because it made my migraines worse-People say violin is difficult but I thought the oboe was moreso (but I had been playing violin since I was a child) It really makes me appreciate a fine oboe player and how I do love the sound!

[prettybird1212]

I play violin and oboe... Oboes really do give you migranes, but its because of the pressure that builds up from trying to blow a lot of air into a hole about this big '=='. Violin is one of the easiest instruments to learn... Oboe is said to be the hardest tho.

Flute is also easy to play...

[OriginalMoonbeam]

I sure wouldn't classify violin as "easy"...certainly not easy to master. It is difficult in a different way from the oboe. Oboe was difficult for me in that it caused me literal PAIN in the form of headaches. There is SO much to the violin..many types of bowings, positions, different vibratos to learn in order to vary style, double stops that get progressively more difficult..it is rewarding, great pieces like Bach's Chaconne and Sarasote's Gypsy Airs..fun but not easy.

[HARMONICO101]

Violin is definetly not an easy instrument to play. The violin is probably one of the most sensitive instruments, which it makes it difficult to learn, yet this allows it to be one of the most expressive of instruments.

If you feel that it's easy, good for you!

[prettybird1212]

I guess its not easy depending on the way you look at it... yes there are quite a few different styles you must learn, and it is very sensitive... I think for the most part though, learning the fingerings and reading most music is easy, but I guess it helps if you also play 6 different instruments as well...

[OriginalMoonbeam]

Love this piece!

[AZAZADECH]

Full of new ideas! Great!

[boyard49]

this is so beautiful! thank you

[jorojoroviolinistico]

this is a beautifull oboe concerto!!!

[mrgabest]

All of Vivaldi's woodwind concertos are special, but this is one of the most transcendent pieces of music I've ever heard. This recording doesn't necessarily do it complete justice, though. I think I prefer Malcolm Messiter's. A piece like this deserves more dynamic playing.

[BubCar2]

Baroque oboe has a delightfully explorative feel to it. All those medieval & renaissance double reeds taken on journeys up & down scales they couldn't even imagine :)

[Jalapablo]

Yes, I've listened to the Bassoon concertos you've posted, thank you. It's great to see them on here. The Oboe concertos recorded by I Solisti Veneti with Claudio Schimone are fabulous, Pierre Pierlot is the soloist, incredible feeling and dynamics, amazing recording. Same with the Mandolin concertos - I think the it's best available...if you can find it.

[HARMONICO101]

Hmm... I'll keep those in mind. Thanks for the recommendation!

[Jalapablo]

One of the very few baroque composers who wrote extensively for woodwind, and with exemplary skill and understanding of the instruments' range and capacities at that. He wrote 39 pages of bassoon music alone. Have you heard I Solisti's recordings of the oboe concertos?

[HARMONICO101]

I have heard OF them, but have not heard them. How are they?

By the way, I have a selection of 4 Vivaldi bassoon concertos posted if you would like to listen.

[Jalapablo]

Thank you for uploading this superb concerto. Vivaldi knew how to write for the oboe, didn't he?

[HARMONICO101]

Yes, his woodwind music in general is spectacular.

[shariotoflove]

did vivaldi know that bach was trascribing his work in germany for harpsichord and organ? if so what how do you think he would have taken it in those days?

[HARMONICO101]

Vivaldi had no idea Bach transcribed his music as Bach was not very well-known outside of Germany, especially at this time as Bach was still a young man when he made the transcriptions. I have no idea how Vivaldi would have reacted, but I'm sure there were many student composers transcribing or studying his music out there.

[shariotoflove]

thank you for that, merry christmas

[ManuelSpintoTenor]

Vivaldi gave a few classes to Bach, but some Bach's works actually are transcriptions of many other composers...

[shariotoflove]

so they actually met, you are saying?

[HARMONICO101]

What MauelSpintoTenor said is untrue. They never met, because Bach never left Germany, and Vivaldi never traveled anywhere near where Bach lived.

[akm5176]

Who told you this information. They never even met! Bach actually took lessons from who was at the time a well known musician, Buextehude, organist. Heck if you compare their music you can see the similarity, though you can also see that bach was intensely more tallented and made buextehudes style of composition much more complex. Though bach isn't known for bring anything "new" to the table, he is likely the very pinacle of the baroque era. But...theres no way he took a lesson from vivaldi...

Giving lessons is not being part of a Class Group or something like that... In music, is to be permeated by other one's music. Bach loved Vivaldi's music, and made several transcriptions of what he heard...
