Vivaldi - Concerto for Cello & Bassoon in E Minor RV409

[AbsoluteZ3R0]

This concerto sucks

[asabovesobelow90]

name of the painting?? anyone??

[MHSELLAS]

is that a classical guitar at 5:05?

[majav15mg]

@MHSELLAS It's most likely a lute or a theorbo.

[InbictaProductionzZ]

@MHSELLAS it's a lute. sometimes they sound just the same. it's amazing!

[prettybird1212]

I wish I could get my orchestra teacher to let us play this. It would be so much fun to have a cello solo rather than violin for once, and I love playing my bassoon in symphony as well.

[kokitallica]

Wonderful Music <3

[smole133]

No wonder no one knows anything about bassoon... You forgot to mention that Vivaldi is also the most profilic writer of bassoon concertos, over 30 concertos aswell... With this kind of videos and info, bassoon will never get his well- deserved position in musical surroundings and society :(

[MegaCardone]

@smole133 nobody cares. go kill yourself

[smole133]

@MegaCardone

Hahahah ...mmm... no I won't... And the thing I said is true, and you can do whatever and write what ever comment you want, but it's true, and if needed I will write that one more time ;)

[1pwNz0mb13Z]

@smole133

i have a hard time finding violin shops in my area,

let alone finding one that sells bassoons.

It makes a wonderful continuous bass though, like the harpsichord :)

[lucas1997bom]

@Shanelololol

I 've been looking for this score on imlsp and nothing :(

[lucas1997bom]

Anybody knows if there's sheet for this piece?

[Shanelololol]

@lucas1997bom try lookin on imslp.org they have sheet music for just about everyone

[play150]

haha love the trivia

[courriernord]

il y a un basson là-dedans ? où ?

[HerlockSholmes123]

This is definitely one of Vivaldi's most beautiful pieces.

[tomokochan91]

Wow, I love this one

[fabiodv1000]

this music is very nice

[fabiodv1000]

this music is very nice

[cometogether420]

this is vivaldi most beautiful song. i listen to it a lot while i was a kid and had totally forgot of it.... happy to listen it again.

[juspasenthru]

Bassoon players are a bunch of.......

......oh, never mind.

[PinkLipGlossKS]

@juspasenthru excuse me?

[ikelleners]

A dutch ship =D

To bad the other sinks :(

[hyeonj315]

I love fagotts

...

(no pun intended)

[ellielaywayforme]

the painting is by Turner, the story behind the painting called The Slave ship is extremely interesting, and sad. Check it out online if you get a chance. The use of this painting as the background of this piece of music is wonderful, it fits the story of the painting :) well done.

[ellielaywayforme]

The painting is done by J. M. W. Turner its called The Slave Ship the story behind the painting is very interesting and is worth checking out fully on youtube, the short of it was that hundreds if not thousands of slaves died when the captain of the boat didnt want to go down in a storm so he choose to throw women, childern and men slaves with chains into the water to drown while they were alive, so he could better make a profit.

[ikelleners]

@ellielaywayforme what would you do? Sink the entire ship then?

[TheEmperor9985]

@ellielaywayforme Hundreds if not thousands of people on one sailer? LOL, that would be the first..

And such decision was in general made to survive. Not to make profit. If you put weight overboard the ship rises. Simple law of physics.

[aminharpsichord]

VIVA VIVALDI .....

[BaboonBassoon]

What is the painting? Its lovely :)

[alphabethsoup]

I jumped about a foot in the air at 0:38, not even kidding

[ek180]

A thunderstorm happened outside when I started listening to this at 2AM. I'm not kidding.

[alphabethsoup]

ek180: didn't mean to copy your word choice, sorry bro

[Burntheclean]

Who is down right dumb enough to dislike this...they have no heart!

[SanguineBullet667]

my two favorite instruments!

[lopezgottig]

Cuánta belleza hay en este concierto, extraordinario.

[CptSchmidt]

I wish you would post the names and artists of the paintings.

[chiro1994]

Your channel is absolutely amazing. I was just looking for something to listen to while working, and now I can't get anything done ; )

[rosasbarrocas]

who is the painter, Harmonico???

[stoneagedjp]

Vivaldi strikes again!

[aroneTopper]

What painting is that? I really like it

[Uncas258]

very nice!!

[JorgeIvanVelezOrtiz]

hello. I´m from Colombia. Does anyone the score and the part of this concert?. I´m cellist and I´m interested in play this with a bassoonist

*

[majav15mg]

Why can't I play this in my iPod?

[ufgt1989]

Excellent piece by Vivaldi, and another example why the Baroque period is comprised of the finest music that has ever been composed. Thanks for uploading it!

[RasputnaViolist]

@ufgt1989 i definitely agree that the baroque period had the best music ever made!

[64wulf]

this honestly makes me feel like the painting

[Mercer1012]

The Painting is called "Ships Running Aground in a Storm" by Backhuysen.

[sithman25]

I love Vivaldi because his music wild, expressive, and untamable.

[perttirudolf]

Ihanaa musiikkia, suoraan taivaasta.

[sorrowfulrin180]

i lov this i just want to play this so bad

[hipepleful]

@sorrowfulrin180 you’d be going to pp to ff to all around the dynamics quickly.

[majav15mg]

The painting fits the music soooo perfectly. Incredible.

[werq34ac]

personally I feel that the picture doesn't represent the piece well at all. Although it very well represents the fast parts, it doesn't represent the slow parts. Hehehe I'd like to see a painter do THAT.

[majav15mg]

Well I guess the slow parts can represent the calm moments in a storm.

[werq34ac]

like the eye of the hurricane! but that would mean there would be several eyes... its a super hurricane!

[werq34ac]

Oh, i just realized how amazing the painting was. In the background on the left, there's white clouds.

[majav15mg]

Yes, I wonder who the painter was.

[HARMONICO101]

Exactly!!! :)

[dantreel]

@HARMONICO101 who is the painter?

[dantreel]

Who is the painter?

HELP! I NEED SOMEBODY,HELP! NOT JUST ANYBODY,HELP! YOU KNOW I NEED SOMEONE, HELP.

[nivique]

@dantreel

A Painting name is "Ships Running Aground in a Storm" by Ludolf Bakhuizen.

[dantreel]

@nivique thank you very much, pretty woman

[nivique]

@dantreel

You're welcome :>

[trollkors78]

Hard to say, which one of the great composers of baroque and classic ... /etc./ ... music is the best. I love Vivaldi, Mozart, Haendel, Bach, Beethoven, Telemann... Its a "spa" for my brain, when Im tired...

[alildrumhappy]

@trollkors78 Mozart.. without a doubt.. and for many reasons.. He was literally a genius.. Everything he wrote was an original composition.. He never made a single mistake.

He wrote his first concerto at 4, symphony at 7 and opera at 12.. pretty amazing.. lol

[HARMONICO101]

"Everything he wrote was an original composition.."

Don't know what you mean by that... stylistically, he was hugely indebted to Haydn.

"He never made a single mistake."

Not true. A umber of his pieces show corrections. Mozart was human, contrary to popular belief.

[alildrumhappy]

@HARMONICO101 He never wrote anything twice. he didnt have to..

when he wrote, it looked like he was just dictating what someone was playing..

Another interesting fact. One of his sonatas that he performed at a concert, was completely improvised. IN correct sonata-allegro form..

[HARMONICO101]

"He never wrote anything twice."

I'm not sure if that is anything more than a romantic piece of apocrypha. I have never seen the source of that claim.

"One of his sonatas that he performed at a concert, was completely improvised. IN correct sonata-allegro form.. "

Not sure if that is true, but sounds more likely than the previously mentioned. Bach and Handel improvised fugues.

[alildrumhappy]

@HARMONICO101 When he was writing, what he wrote was the final version.. (so to speak) he never had to revise a piece or anything like that.

And the sonata he improvised was K. 309

This isn't proven(because there is no way to prove it now), but many believe that he had the highest I.Q. EVER, of anyone.

[HARMONICO101]

"he never had to revise a piece or anything like that."

That sounds more reasonable to me, since he did make corrections.

"the sonata he improvised was K. 309"

Cool! I will have to look for that one!

[HARMONICO101]

"many believe that he had the hishest I.Q. Ever, of anyone."

I personally would disagree with that one, and would have to go with da Vinci. He was a jack-of-all-trades, master of all of them: the origin of the term "Renaissance Man". He was a polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. He was ambidextrous and learned to write in mirror image. He conceptualised machines that were centuries ahead of their time.

[HARMONICO101]

He hugely advanced the state of knowledge in the fields of anatomy, civil engineering, optics, and hydrodynamics. His paintings are considered among the greatest of all time and were infinitely better than all his contemporaries save Michelangelo and perhaps Raphael. A number of them are considered masterpieces and they aren't even finished!

[HARMONICO101]

As Hippolyte Taine wrote in 1866: "There may not be in the world an example of another genius so universal, so incapable of fulfilment, so full of yearning for the infinite, so naturally refined, so far ahead of his own century and the following centuries."

[HARMONICO101]

I particularily like Liana Bortolon's comment: "Leonardo can be considered, quite rightly, to have been the universal genius par excellence, and with all the disquieting overtones inherent in that term. Man is as uncomfortable today, faced with a genius, as he was in the 16th century. Five centuries have passed, yet we still view Leonardo with awe."

[HARMONICO101]

I'm sorry for rambling, but though I think that Mozart may have been the most talented musician (or at least the one of best documented and exploited child prodigies in history), but the highest I.Q.? It has to be da Vinci hands down.

[alildrumhappy]

@HARMONICO101 Those are all great examples.. But like i said earlier.. He wrote his first sonata at 4, symphony at 7 and opera at 12. that would include everything that has to do with an opera.

He could hear things once or twice and play it exactly like it was written..

I dont know if it is true or not, but when he was 5 he filled in for the viola player, he never even got lessons on viola.. that doesnt sound likely.. but still.. pretty impressive. lol.

[CminorMaxG]

@HARMONICO101 I myself have had my IQ tested, and I know that they test you in many areas. My highest, spatial harmonics, was 160, my lowest was a 120, so it varies.

[TsunamiFilms]

Vivaldi is without a doubt my absolute favorite string composer

[sorrowfulrin180]

pretty i love this im 17 teen

[majav15mg]

are you single? what's your address?

[VinceV]

My god rofl =')

Tho music connects people for sure, but our musical favor gets flatten out by the media

[GeneDesaix]

STAY AWAY FROM THIS CREEP (majav15mg)

[maxotti]

Beautifully interpreted!!!

[soadnaruto]

great music!

[giallina500]

it's very beautifull this concert

[Robdee999]

Vivaldi is the first known composer to write a solo concerto for the cello? He is also the most prolific writer of cello concertos

[NachoMargahayu]

Just great!

[NGS712]

Bravo!

[SonofDostojevskij]

Sutch a great ideay writting a concert fore a cello and a basoon.

[communism45]

what's the name of the painting?

[Montyleeny14]

I love the picture in the vid; its so interesting and the music fits perfectly with it. Mysterious, ambiguous; beautiful!

[bubblykings]

Awesome and simply striking! I love Vivaldi.

[mrgabest]

How has this only been seen 11k times?  This is amazing!

[Brandedweirdo]

Simply brilliant. I didn't even think to look for bassoon with cello. I love both.

[cool1hand9luke]

Mozart has a sonata for cello and bassoon you may be interested in listening to. I believe its on youtube.

[PinkLipGlossKS]

@cool1hand9luke do you know what its called? i listen to any bassoon duets i can get my hands on...i play the bassoon myself

[MercifulMe]

@cool1hand9luke It's actually for two cellos. It is played on bassoon a lot though.

[zzzzzzzzzzzzzzt]

@MercifulMe

Actually, it's for bassoon and cello. Cellists have plenty of good rep - they don't need to go stealing from bassoonists...

[debartzen]

Esta música emparenta con la de Antonio Vivaldi.

[RasputnaViolist]

i've always wanted to hear a song that featured bassoon and cello. (i play both. and viola) and it's awesome that it's composed by the great vivaldi.

[EntropyEternal]

That is a really nice recording. The orchestra pay amazing attention to dynamics and articulation.

[GALANTERIEasaCHARM]

I AWARD THIS 2 3/4 LANCRETS...as this is an very peculiar combination of rhetorical styles.The performance successfully highlights the brash contrasts of the lamenting-mysterious solo passages with the crazed-manic ensemble passages.

[jonathantosio]

Gosh I got a shock when the rest of them came in. Whew!

[HARMONICO101]

Well that's that the alternatim structure for you! Very popular in the early 1700s. Vivaldi also uses it in movements one and two of Summer in the Four Seasons.

[sutphoe]

so did I! I was all like: this is nice, and then I was all like WOW! THIS KICKS ASS!

[gtat5]

i would raher see someone perform.the music is grand but my brain cries out for visual enhancement.

[HARMONICO101]

I would too, but I don't buy classical DVDs (don't have time to watch). I don't make slide shows for them either becuase it is time consuming, and I wouldn't be able to post as much music as I do. Besides, we are already berrated enough with endless forms of media and stimulae.

[gtat5]

i understand.i was searching bassoon when i found this. i am intrigued by the amazing range of tones. thanks for a wonderful listen.

[OedipusColoneus]

"Besides, we are already berrated enough with endless forms of media and stimulae."

Yes...

[MercifulMe]

Beautiful, I've never heard this before, but its so good
