[AntoineAB87]

La version de son album est mieu :), mais ça reste excellent

[thegiovy1978]

Best version never heard, thank you Fabio!

[sbranami]

genialissimo attuale vivaldi e unico biondi

[Nibelungenfrau]

and.... excuse me.... I find Fabio Biondi a very interesting man...!!!! hmmmmm....

[Nibelungenfrau]

soooo wonderful - I love the Europa Galante with Fabio Biondi very much. They have a great sound with Vivaldi. Marvellous. Thanks for the videos.

modern view of fabio said appreciated Lades NEFFOUS on free violin jazz

[nacepest]

goosebumps

[basselyrique]

Finalmente un pezzo così usurato come le 4 stagioni si è aperto a me come musica viva e stupenda, veramente stupenda!

[tcradical]

Different interpretation of winter. I like it though.

[LeinadAffar]

@tcradical This is summer you know.

[tcradical]

@LeinadAffar Hahaha, I left my comment on the wrong one, I thought when I was writing that I had winter's open.

[hetfield2177]

Sublime.

STRAORDINARIO FABIO BIONDI...UNA VERSIONE DA RIFERIMENTO!

[LogicRising]

vivaldi would throw up if he heard this.

[LogicRising]

Vivaldi's winter III is one of the most dramatic movements in any of vivaldi's concertos ON IT'S OWN. It requires NONE of the needless, silly embellishments and jazzed articulations as played by Biondi in this concert. Play the damn piece and quit trying to catch people off guard! It's not creative or refreshing, it's just stupid.

[Max0Inq]

Best interpretation of this piece I heard.

[quetevale]

Bravo bravo!!!! gracias por subir el video!!

[xyaqua]

Biondi et E G practically re-invent Italian baroque. This is as Antonio Vivaldi would have wanted it: Art with elan, musical passion without limit

[moldyoreo]

And just how do you know this? When was your last conversation with Padre Vivaldi?

[xyaqua]

it's an opinion. what's your problem?

Vivaldi was incredibly creative and productive, i would imagine someone who was such, would have wanted their art performed with as much feeling and intensity and verve as possible.

Again what is your problem?

[moldyoreo]

What's my problem? You're a jerk. That's the problem. Don't parade around assuming you know what Vivaldi would have wanted. Statements such as "This is as how Antonio Vivaldi would have wanted it" suggest fact, not opinion. That's my problem. Again, you're a pompous jerk.

[drisspissdriss]

moldyoreo, you are a self righteous prick, just to stay with your choice of words. It is completely obvious what xyaqua meant.

[hezixiao]

Fabio Biondi is just amazing. I borrowedhis CD of the four seasons of the same version as this video from the library and I fell in love with the way he interprets these concertos. This is the lovliest version of the four seasons.

[anadimini]

Ich mag total vocale playing von Fabio!Das ist einzigartig so.

[paradoxicus]

Sin duda,el mejor grupo actual intérprete de Antonio Lucio Vivaldi.

[danshorer]

some composers choose their interpreters. Vivaldi chose Biondi

[teamjuano]

@danshorer

Yes sir I agree with you .....I have heard a lot of great violinist play the four seasons including Carmignola...but Biondi its more colorful, I just love it!

[mariazocco]

Che straordinario interprete.....unico!

[auxartsetcaetera]

Quelle claque cette version ! A voir en vrai j'imagine...

[ShinAkiraX]

Only Europa Galantehas such a gorgeous theorbo sound in the basso continuo.

[thelightisahead]

Lucky man, yet another child prodigy! Still, can'tr focus on that - it's the true, living, breathing artist we have here, and what a hell of an artist! 5/5!

[Astonkke]

Although... a little too rich to my ears. Too many strings, which leads to a slightly blurry sound. I believe that by taking a few musicians out, a better sonic brilliance would be obtained.

[drewbsn87]

lol I imagined him looking more like Fabio from the butter commercials than al gore. He is amazing though!

[grouper100kg]

fabio biondi does he nest improvs!

[hsocolovsky]

Extraordinaria, monstruosa, violenta sin embargo impecablemente limpia. La precisión del fraseo, el ímpetu, la furia y la emoción que inyectan Biondi y su orquesta es sublime. Bravo.

[nudopiano]

this guy is amazing... nobody plays Vivaldi's fout seasons like him

[lucho0912]

Un extraordinario aire para esta bella pieza de Vivaldi. Bravo Biondi

[manueljorgema]

This interpretation feeds my soul...

[philidor2005]

ah, if only I could get my rock-loving friends to hear this! This stuff is what I listen to in lieu of pop music. (I'm an early music specialist)

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

if ur last name is Philidor then ur most likely related to the Philidors who played and composed at the French Court !!! Wow !!!! enchanté !!!!

[philidor2005]

Ah! I wish! You know your music history though! I became fascinated by the Philidors some years ago and also by the early French court music and double reed ensemble music that Andre Philidor collected as the King's librarian For some reason I made an email address...probably in 2005...using that name.

[morindhe]

what I wouldn't pay to see them perform live!

[Blastabola]

*Fabio Biondi

King of the four seasons!

[Musicabarocco]

Grazie!!!

[Viahandel06]

best interpretation of l'inverno I've ever heard:D

[arthe415]

that's not "l'inverno"

[Viahandel06]

oh man, you're right! My bad^_^

[StevenJeNova]

Yes, it is the best interpretation I've heard, too. And I've heard lots of em. Apparently it takes Italians to play Vivaldi. They're just phenomenal, live, Europa Galante. I treasure the memory of the one concert I attended.

[Viahandel06]

What concert was that and what did they play?! :0

[StevenJeNova]

2 years ago, was it? They were on a tour of sort. They stopped by Sweden and I attended one of their concerts here. They played a variety of different things, but I do remember some of it was definitely Le Quattro Stagioni.

[annakim925]

Oh, hereis another one "Four Seasons" +_+

[Viahandel06]

At least this one doesn't sound like "elevator music." +_+
