Gidon Kremer - Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring (I. Allegro)

[SoEul122]

there is a viola right ? i play the viola in school and were playing this

[AlabamaSoldier]

This is horrible. Just horrible.

The whole piece just falls so short without insane amounts of applause at the end.

[AlabamaSoldier]

7 people brought tubas.

[emperorandthetsar]

haha i'm a dumb american slut! :DDD

[bloodshot738]

is that the violin?

[bloodshot738]

Beautiful.

[jorgeubaque]

simply perfect

[SelenaSlyCat20]

how could people dislike this?

[nmbanana]

woah, kremer with long hair? i thought i would never see the day.

[briandb1222]

Never thought I'd actually be turned on to classical but after starting Music Appreciation, Classical is one of my favorites now. Vivaldi is awesome

[poolfrk97]

bunch of losers dislikeing this..

[dinkarrao1]

love hanamoon

[RealFlaw]

Beautiful. I can see the birds and little critters scurrying around while the dew on the green grass is met with beams of sunlight.

[MintWithATwist]

heh heh, playing this in violin, well not the melody, but the harmony! The melody is being played by some orchestra!

[crayolabrandcrayons]

magnificent.

[albcatholic]

who the fuck dislike this ????

[NoContradiction]

@albcatholic only muslim budy , islam hates it lol sad for them....

[Benno2081]

My Humanities instructor turnd me on to this and I am very thankful that she did! Very solid throughout

[Benno2081]

This is well done!!! Soloist is a BAD MAN!!!!!

[eddyabc1]

This is real Baroque!



[Jeremiah6v8]

guy on viola at 0:28 looks like Ronny Barker! XD

[Pokerplayer1045]

after the solo at 1:46 i had to change my pants

[trebsky22]

maybe they decided to perform this video in this hallway so that they can have a natural acoustics effect, love that clavichord!

[456likeable]

awesome!

[moshekai2010]

I like the part from 0:01 to 3:14 lol. Pure freaking violin gold.  Honestly, 1:44 to 2:05 is pretty hard core for Gidon Kremer (the main guy) at least

[TheMaddux111]

Now that's what i call music,pure unadulterated masterpiece.Gone were the days when men shared angelic tunes.

[ilov3ww3]

I can hum this pretty well now. Last week had to call the Jobcentre and whilst on hold for 30 minutes had this played on a loop at me.

[tsukun16]

it reminds me bugs bunny 8D

[ruztygitz]

i imagine a museum full of paintings everytime i hear this... :D

[BlondBlackGuy]

wat tempo are the playing, this is pretty fast for this song

[Albert0159632]

Screw the metal fans, Classical music have harder and more beautiful solos ;D

[asianibanez]

@Albert0159632 hey man, dont be hating on metal! i like metal, but i also love classical music!

[HappyAngerMan]

@Albert0159632 Excuse me? You miss the plain fact that this, beautiful masterpiece, is about as fucking metal as they get. Right up there with Sabbath, Slayer, and Maiden!

[violist281190]

a musician find happiness when they play music. in my opinion, they (Gidon Kremer and friends) get the happiness because they play music with their soul.

once again I say.. well, it just my opinion. :)

[steven55987]

@snipehunter09

its not a string lol its a hair on the bow

[Edwin7678]

@steven55987, you're sure, it looks like a string to me.

[Snipehunter09]

you can tell that Gidon's a good player... just look at 3:08 - 3:11 he busted a stringXP

[Edwin7678]

@Snipehunter09 , oh ya you're right!

[psychoticviolinist]

You don't have to be a good player to break a string on the bow its not that hard. Just thought I'd throw that out there. But I'm not saying he's not a good player. He's amazing.

[Snipehunter09]

haha, i kno wat u meant. i break hairs all the time and i'm not even 1% as good as Kremer=D

[audreyeatworld]

For some reason, I love listening to this song in the morning.

[shaunieXOXO]

im not really in to classical music but dis song is good

[MrDouglasfairbanks]

damn that sounds good!

[KoalaBearWarrior]

man if i had those glasses i would be a guitar god :) xD

[RSdaymen]

lol just sound it out i play violin to its not hard

[xravagex21x]

i have to play this for a competion thing and i am still puzzled on playing the note on :30 to :35. souns kin of like a bird. lol. anybody know? please help.

[jpmhitachi]

xravagex21x why don't you look at the music?!?!?!?!?!?

[xravagex21x]

i did. i was talking about the note in the music.

[xToatsies]

something like trill or a grace note ornament idk

[aweitzer1]

im pretty sure its a trill....i found the sheet music arranged for a clarinet quartet and they were written as trills.

[erikagepilano]

I'm super nervous now! I have to play that in the orchestra! Waaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

[Zoogo3]

omt me too! only i play the viola part so its a bit easier than the violin part, i think. :/

[gigamax1978]

The best version in my opnion.

Mutter version's is my second favorit. ^^

[HaloDarkAgent]

im gonna have to play this.........

[mangoman500]

i've been searching for this tune for like forever! completely by chance, i found this randomly!

[HeartOfGreed123]

Wow this is so good! Love this song! 10/10. Thanks for uploading!

[Shankovich]

Nothin beats the sync of the violins in the beginning of Spring. All playing differing parts yet the sound so complimentary. Even the physical movement of the bows mix in together :D Vivaldi was a genius.

[Eviiana]

*clap* Pure gold!

[bananapark14]

complete agreement :D

[joshkb01]

@Eviiana Precisely

[yamihikarilightdark9]

Oh man, at 1:57, that's an insane solo. O_o This is a great song. <3 Nice passion and emotion.

Too bad that now days it's all about squabbling to be in the first seat in my orchestra... It's sad.

[gabilovesdavid]

WOAH. @-) He`s so good. :) He`s my idol. :))

[RSdaymen]

dude awsome or orchestra is playing another version of this song very nice=]

[MIchaelYiochalas]

Great!Notice the hair of his bow dancing along!Be gentle on the bow mr Kremer...;)

[aznmaplemaster]

nerd geek

[NASHARYABA]

kremer rules! great reproduction, great violinist. (kremer looks is the best)

[crynuh]

i never learned to do a vibratto..pff..

[angus24402870451]

I totally felt his passion!!!Bravo!!!

[ParisTroyJoanofarc]

awesome- i got to do the solo for this piece at school! and i put up my vid too XD

[pikwan24]

its very nice, just that the main

guy looks like a retard.

[Blogsworth]

I guess it takes one to know one..what do you reckon.

[Lavendar770]

he's playing with passion.

stfu

[KillerCheebo]

too bad its off sync

[daedelous]

um...its not off sync

[shion051989]

He looks crazy

[Lavendar770]

it's called playing with passion

[yashkash]

YO ALEXZADER !, nice presentation

[Myshquo1]

all seasons are great.

[RicoPicoIV]

OMG!!! Does anyone notice the soloist? The solo passage with all of the triplets is freaking crazy! Obviously it would take a musician lots of practice, but I mean the way he plays it makes it look like it's a piece of cake! That's really a lot of string crossing even with position, so to play it that fast and look so easy is amazing!

[aIIenxwaIker]

its pretty much play it as fast as u can get ur arms and finger to move

[KillerCheebo]

that part isnt that hard

ive played harder things

[DraqMaster]

Fantastic Music!!! Antonio Vivaldi was a genius!

What a guy!

[sOCcEr7fReAk]

Although this was very awe inspiring, I like 'winter' the best

[sh1v4n1]

beautiful. i listen to the whole of the four seans all day at work. makes me so happy!

[bassistintherain]

This piece along with the rest of the four seasons always makes me smile. It is just s beauiful, pure, and melodious. Whenever I heard it, my heart sings with joy and I feel as if my bones are hollow and I can take of and fly...

[rrytas]

Ok then let B. Spears opus Toxic called Symphony, Macy's Gray Still shall be sonata and Curry sauce I rename to ketchup. It is only words

[blueschildbrian]

Yo sir, are a stuck up classically trained musician. The person enjoyed the SONG, so you're going to attack them for not referring to the sequence of noises in the proper term. Intolerance and nit-picking is what i see in you. It's a word, and regardless if he chooses to use the same one as you, he's referring to the same CONCERTO. There's a rift in the music community between so many respectable genres and that exists because of people like yourself.

[rrytas]

First of all it is not a song. It is a violin concerto. What's wrong with you people? Why you call any musical form a song? There is something like sonatas, symphonies, concertos, solos etc - not only songs

[Sphigmananonymous]

While you're right, it is a concerto, in that songs contain vocal parts. Don't be so petty.

[stringreviewer]

What a unique and rebellious talent we have in Gidon Kremer. Who else would dare to wear such huge glasses, in effect thumbing his nose in the face of modern fashion?

[StanwoodSpartans]

dude this was that song played on the ship in

megaman legend 2

[shallman2008]

fantastiiiik!!!!

[SexiKido]

i cna paly this song x3

[16542593]

Beautiful Video!!!!

[arcadelia]

AMAZING!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[lostaddict12]

nice I play violin, I've played the Autumn

[Rinhos]

Kremer is God into a human body.

[music3addict]

wow that's awesome

[gigamax1978]

my favorite verson.

second is karajan/mutter version.

[halokev14]

awesome song!!!!! But at the end a hair on the guys bow was hanging. But still awesome

[sthibo]

braaaaaaaaavo very good yeb thats mi song

[foxheadspeed]

this is such an exiting peice! man that soloist is amazing he needs to lose those car windshield glasses though lol jk!

[runescape207]

he needs to no joke dumbass

[andreamjc]

I have such a high appreciation for classical music, especially Baroque. It's a shame I've not the gift to play.

[WashDCDemocrat]

I can play piano. This song is really good! This is my favorite season; my next favorite being winter.

[thelightisahead]

Why not learn! It's never too late to start! My violin teacher (I only started when I was 16, I'm 17 now) taught a man in his seventies!!

[xringer43]

High Baroque music in a baroque chamber hall? Don't get much better. I like GK's clarity and intensity. If you want to really go baroque, and broke, try buying *all* the recording's of Vivaldi's 4-seasons.

[dudester27]

THIS IS SO SOOTHING!

[reebachan]

His hairstyle reminds me of Franz Liszt.

[Yppotryll]

I'm a clarinet player. The Four Seasons makes me want to play a stringed instrument.

[perilxxwasxxhere]

we played this in orchestra, but not nearly as amazing. we were good tho.

[jaycule07]

I wish I can play as good as him but as 1'st year player I'm pretty talented my whole strings class is so talented but i'm the best violinist.....tru dat

[foxheadspeed]

wow ur modest.... NOT! jkjkjk

[runescape207]

wow ur funny...

[cemocomert]

awesome really awesome....

[Rejectednoodles]

Fantastic? >.<

[Yasjalnadie]

I say, he does rock!

[asuranrocks]

[Shornickel]

Brilliant.

[ViolinIdiot]

[BahagHaris]

Awesome! More Gidon Kremer clips please. Thank you for posting.
