do you know who perfomed this? I have a different version by the English Concert if you would like to hear it - its still the same piece :) Thanks for this - its amazing music :P my favourite :)
HARMONICO101, Could you send me the video of the symphony in C major RV 111, Vivaldi?? the three movements, because I can'T see those videos from youtube, because they forbidden in my country because they contained UMG, please, I love that symphony, especially the second movement
you guys realize that these is the most beautiful music made. Vivaldi, Bach, Telemann, did this because they loved it and they could make a decent living out of it. They were PURE musicians, they didn't make millions of dollars out of this, nor they spent 200 hours in the studio putting together 3 minute love tunes in order to bang chicks everyday. All they had was a bench, a candle, and a violin. Respect Respect.
@pilotoatomico Yes and even though they weren't popular in their day... much of their music forgotten for almost a century and then later to be rediscovered... the music today is still alive and kicking. That's a feat for any musician. will people still listen to nickelback or justin beiber 300 years from now? I think not.
Actaully, Telemann was QUITE a successful composer. I read his autobiography that he had written, and he had claimed that he was being payed millions of dollars (in modern times of course - I forget what currency they had in Baroque period Germany).
the melody which Vivaldi starts at 1:07 is perhaps one of the plainest melodies that he ever wrote. Indeed, Vivaldi, having been known the world over for elegant and "frilled" music, seems to take a step out of character for a moment to make this melody. This piece confirms his amazing ability to construct both flowery pieces as well as simple, unadulterated beauty. In my study at conservatory, i have been exposed to numerous outstanding composers who i didn't know, but none yet match Vivaldi
@slothfat I had the exact same problem!! It was absolutely driving me crazy until I listened a bit closer - oops, there's a HUGE difference between playing in D minor and playing in C# minor ;)
@brigmahf Haha I know! I wish just all music would have the same tuning, but even back then everywhere you go the tuning was different! Now I've never had perfect pitch, but I think since I started to listen to baroque music, my pitch has got off! My brother would ask me to sing an A but I'd sing a G#! Its probably because i listen to this stuff all day, and thats all!
In his own time Vivaldi was most famous for his operas, which were not preserved. The music by which he is known in our era is not what earned him such widespread renown, and it is not difficult to imagine that the pieces he wrote for the girls of the orphanage were less extravagant than what he produced for the theatre.
While I fundamentally disagree with Forcroi's notion that Vivaldi's music is less worthy of attention just because it's simpler and more repetitive than other composers of the same period (And that part is true. Musicians commonly joke that Vivaldi just wrote one violin concerto.), I must say that the "Then why don't you go do it?" arguments are horribly annoying. Please stop making them! You don't need to be able to produce something in order to be able to judge its quality!
Those are awful short movements. They're really nice sounding but I wish Vivaldi did a bit more than do something that's equivalent to a friend saying "Oh! oh! Guess what? Something exciting happened!" and then refusing to tell you what the exciting event was. Nonetheless great performance.
Vivaldi sait comment me faire du bien! Sa musique me prend à un niveau supérieur de l'esprit, j'ai toujours écouter sa musique quand j'ai besoin de rester calme.
@marfdasko Yes, marfdasko is absolutely right. "Basso continuo" refers to the way it is played (semi improvised, based on the cello/bass part). It is most often played on either harpsichord or lute (theorbo is a kind of really big lute). Sometimes you hear the basso continuo part played on organ.
These days it isn't always improvised. Many modern editions of the sheet music have "fully figured" basso continuo parts so that a keyboardist can play it who doesn't know how to improvise.
I've heard basso continuo parts written as they were originally (a set of notations about chord structure) compared to jazz sheets. They are used in a somewhat similar way.
a classical fan, never heard of this man...tried to google this musical mastermind...i only got related material mostly "Viva La Diva"...what a piece of shit world we live in. LOLOLOL!!!!!!
Thanks Harmonico101!!! This is absolutley my favourite piece! I fell in love with this the first time my strings teacher introduced it to my class. The first and last movement are my favourite.

Every time I hear this song, I always see a grand ball. A bunch of rich people dressed in fancy gowns and suits, spinning around and around, laughing and having fun. I love this song, but that image just ruins it for me...
I respect your subjective experience. However, I just can see my soul and mind traveling through beauty, perfection and meaning and celebrating the power of sentiment, what is this music; it is an experience that takes me apart of the surrounding world.
Similarly, the bass has been embellished in the ritornello in BWV 978, from Vivaldis Op. 3 No. 3. In many movement of Bachs transcription, the ritornello has sixteenth-notes in the bass. All is well documented. The third movement of the Concerto in G BWV 973 the orchestral unison in several ritornelli and tutti passages is complemented by Bach with a very virtuoso (and totally new) bass line.
the beginning and end are awesome, but like the end of the middle part sounds like he just threw some notes in there at random. solo's are really good too.
And the other reason:The Baroque style doesn't want to recreate and explain the whole world or universe in one piece of music in an individualistic way. This is the concept of the romantic era, witch contains its own failure in itself. The Baroque style never fails when there is a master at work like Vivaldi who knows the technik of affects, rhetorikal figures and virtuoso possebilities of the instruments. And by the way, Bach's Concertos wouldn't be possible without Vivaldi's influence on Bach.
I dont know if you are aware that precisely this concerto from Opus-3 was arranged by Bach, it is said to have additional Bachs features. I believe this, since Bach spirit also fly here, it is a wonderful combination the original Vivaldi emotion married with Bach harmony. All little detail resemble from the beginning to the end FUGA.
The very same concerto that we are listening here is an enriched Bach transcription. Note the FUGA parts in every fast movement unusual in Vivaldi.s originals. In the transcription Bach compensate Vivaldis violin melodic elaboration by increasing BASS voice and FUGA voices. He, for example increased the contrast in density the first movement of BWV 976 (from Vivaldis last piece of LEstro Armonico) has sixteenth-note embellishment of the bass.
In his time Vivaldi was the most modern composer. The soloconcerto is an invention by himself. And this is one reason why he wrote so many concertos. He experimented an developed this new genre like Haydn did with the Symphonie or the String Quartett.
there are aproximately two dozen vivaldi concerti that are indeed the greatest examples of the form,but for the other hundreds of works he deserves little recognition, as Quantz has put it in his 1752 book, Vivaldi messed up his style by too frequent opera composing...
Personally, I've listened to hundreds of Vivaldi concerti and I still find new and amazing music. Vivaldi does something for me that no other composer does. Also personally, I don't give a shit what Quantz thought. :) I make my own opinions.

then,probably,you have a very short memory or low quality demands..try Telemann for a change to see what marvels can be done with instumental colors,since vivaldi was a master in composing in unison and octave but had no idea about mixture of instruments.and dont come up with the so called "concerti con molti stromenti" please,they are not worth mentioning.that is my opinion..

This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Vivaldi is being overestimated....he is not by far the best baroque composer,yet he mastered repeating himself over and over for his whole life,wasting his talent...i understand though,that for the less musically demanding,that is specifically what they need,since they have no desire in deepening their horizons or questioning their values...
@Forcroi How elegantly can we all criticize great works of great people while seated back in our comfortable chair : going like "deepening the horizons should be done like this and like that ...." !!!!
Maybe you can post us some of YOUR deep-horizon compositions -:)
Then I suppose, Forcroci, you don't know what music truly is. You can not compare a composer over another because they are good in their ways. And as for Vivaldi's repertoires, however, those are the most magnificent works in my very opinion and he is my fav. baroque composer ever. Well, I'd never go and say like Teleman blah blah blah like you do. Music is some kind of taste, like food. And by depreciating Vivaldi's gift means that you could do far better than he ever did. So, don't BE absurd!
I played this piece with a chamber orchestra and it was so much fun! Its a very musical and easily playable piece of Vivaldi's when you're with the right group of people. It also sounds great to the audience.
i played that concerto with my music school's orchestra,but it was far slower...! : P it is so awesome though..! i love the solo at 1.57-2.06 that's my favorite part
I agree... I think Vivaldi is the best, then I can't decide between Bach and Telemann.. I think I'd go with Telemann over Bach, but I do like Bach's organ pieces alot... Vivaldi has a lot of emotion in his music, which is what makes it so good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
generations of audiences actually,prefering one over another...its natural,you have "your own opinions" other people have theirs,ans so competition is born...
Vivaldi and telemann over Bach ? did you listen the art of fugue, the goldberg variations, musical offering. the cello suites, the violin partitas ?
as a cellist, i know i will spend an very important part of my life playing the bach cello suite. i don't think any other piece from any other composer you would spend and entire life working on it. why ? the profundness is such that the work seems never done... famous cellist never recorded until maturity
Having just watched your double cello concerto video I'm not surprised you find this too fast. The first allegro in that concerto was played very very slowly. Totally kills the rythmic drive of the piece and makes it monotonous for the listeners.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am playing this in my orcestra and although i think we play it a bit slow, this a too fast. If they slowed it down a bit then there would be alot more room for emotion. But it is really very good.
It's interesting how subjective things like emotion are in playing. I personally think that this has lots of emotion. But my neighbor may say otherwise.
Lastly I love his descending 5th..that never gets old for me!

It's beautiful music. If you can't hear that than maybe your heart should grow a few sizes.

@HARMONICO101 I can't understand people who just can't enjoy this music.
Thank you for all your uploads I spend my days listening to your music very inspiring.

Vivaldi being overestimated?????
You are KIDDING! He never did waste his talent!
Anyways, he can never being respected, honoured and "estimated" enough.
His music so rich and deep that no one can or ever will be able to reach the bottom and final end of his true genius.

@Forcroi How elegantly can we all criticize great works of great people while seated back in our comfortable chair : going like "deepening the horizons should be done like this and like that ...." !!!!
Maybe you can post us some of YOUR deep-horizon compositions -:)

Then I suppose, Forcroci, you don't know what music truly is. You can not compare a composer over another because they are good in their ways. And as for Vivaldi's repertoires, however, those are the most magnificent works in my very opinion and he is my fav. baroque composer ever. Well, I'd never go and say like Teleman blah blah blah like you do. Music is some kind of taste, like food. And by depreciating Vivaldi's gift means that you could do far better than he ever did. So, don't BE absurd!

I played this piece with a chamber orchestra and it was so much fun! Its a very musical and easily playable piece of Vivaldi's when you're with the right group of people. It also sounds great to the audience.

I think Vivaldi is my favorite baroque composer.

I agree... I think Vivaldi is the best, then I can't decide between Bach and Telemann.. I think I'd go with Telemann over Bach, but I do like Bach's organ pieces alot... Vivaldi has a lot of emotion in his music, which is what makes it so good.
FerociousDrummer 2 years ago 5
Exactly! Some baroque is just too mechanical for my taste. But Vivaldi is amazing.
mynameisyibble 2 years ago 2
Telemann's works for strings are amazing, but Nobody can compete with Bach's organ pieces as well as his string concertos :)

generations of audiences actually,prefering one over another...its natural,you have "your own opinions" other people have theirs,ans so competition is born...

Vivaldi and telemann over Bach ? did you listen the art of fugue, the goldberg variations, musical offering. the cello suites, the violin partitas ?
as a cellist, i know i will spend an very important part of my life playing the bach cello suite. i don't think any other piece from any other composer you would spend and entire life working on it. why ? the profundness is such that the work seems never done... famous cellist never recorded until maturity

More than to fast!!!

Having just watched your double cello concerto video I'm not surprised you find this too fast. The first allegro in that concerto was played very very slowly. Totally kills the rythmic drive of the piece and makes it monotonous for the listeners.

Thank you very much. The music is wonderful. Love Vivaldi with all my heart. He is absolutely splendid.

I am playing this in my orcestra and although i think we play it a bit slow, this a too fast. If they slowed it down a bit then there would be alot more room for emotion. But it is really very good.

There are no feelings in it. I think it't played to fast. I don't like this way of playing it. Sorry!

It's interesting how subjective things like emotion are in playing. I personally think that this has lots of emotion. But my neighbor may say otherwise.
