Das Instrument, virtuos gestreichelt, kann jeden echten oder pseudokastraten völlig ersetzen. Das Gejaule wird einfach NICHT gebraucht. Danke Frau Pluhar!

[hamzafan]

Magnificent! Precise and joyful! and, I would love to hear a solo CD by Christina Pluhar of harp & theorbo!

Bravo Madame Pluhar et merci pour le post !

[deadmauz59]

[grandadpoppyable]

Was that amazing cello bit a Cadenza.? It souneid like it. In that short space of time I think any Virtuoso could improvise and strut out his best. That guy certainly did.

[artdeboss]

how to get this presentation on DVD?

[sanchezgtrs]

Quite simply an outstanding performance!!

[webdrink]

comment es-ce possible ?

[amantemusica3]

I migliore! Eccellente

[thebadbecks]

I have not learnt music (in general) deeply. Thus I do not know the meaning of this piece of music. Nor do I know what feeling the composer wants to give to listeners. Nevertheless, I like this work very much.

Also, since I know very little about the music and composers of the period when this piece was written, I would like to ask what the name of the piece is and who the composer is. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the performance.

[bailegalego]

Muy bello y enérgico. Te da alegría de vivir. Muchas gracias a todos.

Grazie ! Un' altra lacuna colmata !

[daisiesnpoppies]

Bravissimo !

[fernandofernandezgar]

Y lo mejor de todo: la alegría con que hacen música... si la música no se hace con alegría y placer no es música.

[fernandofernandezgar]

Sencillamente sublime...como ya lo dije: el barroco en su mas alta expresión interpretativa.

GENIAL!!!!!

[wolkowy1]

Great, but I missed the soprano. You should not add her name to the info. of this vid. Anyway - thanks for uploading and thanks for perusino here in the comments for adding more info.

[romanianfox]

It`s Luigi Rossi La lyra d'Orfeos

The entire opera it's on youtube search this: Luigi Rossi a la cour d'Anne d'Autriche

[aneres56]

come si chiama lo strmento che viene battuto dalle barrette? grazie

[mattmarcucci1]

BRAVISSIMO

[criollo1898]

What is this piece called? Is there a recording? I checked the L'Arpeggiata website and could not find the name of this piece.

[perusino]

It's called "Ciaccona" it's based on Cazzati's (17th century) original but has a lot of improvisation by the players. This piece is in a recording issued by Alpha in 2003 intitled "All' Improvviso: Ciaccone, Bergamasche.. & un po di follie". It's Alpha release #512. It has more radical stuff with jazz clarinetist Gian Luisi Trovesi.

[theanswer00]

to me, it seems more near the tarquinio merula's variations on the Ciaccona! Listen them, the giardino armonico play them... it's really similar and different in the same time

[essig3laura]

wonderful!!!

[Babejuda]

Bravi! Amazing group! Amazing interpretation and performance.

[zuzzita]

bravo mira!

[topor70]

Божественное шуршание.. Jazz

[kalisteboat]

Quel bonheur de voir autant de plaisir sur leur visage. Belle découverte pour moi !

[sdfftghjklmlkj]

S'il est des airs qui élève l'esprit, cette magnifique ciaccona en fait partie

[Elzearbouffier]

Sono tutti magnifici. luce. piacere.

[fernandofernandezgar]

El barroco en su mejor expresión... Fe-li-ci-ta-cio-nes...

[nickotwincities]

Does this song have a name? I like it.

[BarNuun]

An instrumental extract from the 'Ciaconna', by Luigi Rossi. Very pretty.

[Gilbran48]

Sublime!

[Monetalis]

Absolument sublime !

[gilpisa]

un vero balsamo per lo spirito: straordinario, brillante, emozionante.

[phgubi]

Brilliant, they are awesome...

[laianemesis]

Extraordinary!

[and89anto]

J'aime beaucoup quand la théorbe donne le gros coup de bourdon =)

[miguelruizmolano]

la calidad de la interpretación y la seriedad de sus músicos, hacen que la L'Arpeggiata se convierta en uno de mis grupos favoritos.

[philiplawton]

I'm pretty sure the composer is actually a chap called Bertali. At least, that's to whom it's ascribed in RRMBE 82.

[433138]

No, it is not. The work you are referreing to is a very extended ciacona for solo violin and bass, which exists in two different versions, its main characteristic being the modulating ostinato bass. Antonio Bertali also wrote a ciacona for two violins, fagotto, and bass (this is not it!).

[philiplawton]

Oh well. It sounded terribly similar. My mistake.

[ALONSOMUDARRA]

Beautiful...

[433138]

I would wish Christina Pluhar good luck with such performances if she needed it. Surely, the continuoing (sic!) dumbing down of mankind will turn this type of cross-over nonsense into a huge success. Nevertheless, beware of false prophets (and, if possible, put this continuo 'orchestra' out of their misery)!

[GoldenAwakening]

The truth is, there is no way classical music could survive in the centuries to come without these "cross-over nonsense" to attract new followers. I'm one of those people, and I proudly say I'm in love with classical. I agree with you that crossovers have less "value" artistically, but they are necessary. I think we should be GLAD there's more genuine groups like l'arpeggiata who sticks to traditional instruments. Can you imagine if all we have is Lara St. John's Re: Bach nonsense?

[433138]

I am convinced that this music carries enough spark to appeal to people without any unnecessary additions. What gets me is that fact that such groups sell themselves as experts in early music (they may well be experts in folk music!). E.g., why on earth is CP allowed to teach trusting students at one of the world's foremost institutions for early music? Talk about the blind leading the blind ...

[ericNA82]

@433138 Because she knows a thing or two about early music which you apparently don't, otherwise you wouldn't spew such nonsense. The music you're convinced carries so much spark has only been "recently" rediscovered on a more popular level and is largely based on reconstruction. Or maybe you know more than the rest of world how early music was originally performed? In any case, I hope you one day get to sit through a bad production of a Monteverdi opera and wonder why you're not feelin' it...

[433138]

@ericNA82

One of the things I do not know is what you are trying to say (e.g. by your use of the term 'reconstruction'), but - without wanting to boast - I guess you are right and I do know a few things about early music and its performance. I suspect otherwise some of the world's leading period groups would not book me, the top educational institutions not hire me to teach it, very respectable media not publish what I write about it, etc.

[midnightblue80]

I am curious what you have against this group so much? What is it about the continuo that bothers you?

[xyaqua]

Cazzati. Those Italians, they are the artists of the world. Has anyone mentioned recently that a study bt both Harvard and Oxford has indicated statistically improved test scores with students lsitening to vivaldi or Scarlatti (and presumably any early "italienne" baroque?

pardon my oration, but this goes beyond mere music, my students benefit from this every exam they take, and they average a strong "A" Viva Italia and her artists! She has inspirations to sooth the savage engineer!

[grantco131313]

The true question being however whether Harvard and Oxford actually tried any OTHER nationalities of the baroque....

[lilangelface08]

Lively and interesting, WOW!!!!!

[strider881]

Evviva Christina!

[GoldenAwakening]

Wow this piece is one of the best baroque pieces in my opinion.

I feel that it is not as confined in form (for example, the ending), but still have the virtuosity and clarity to be a good baroque piece. There is this fantasy-like feel to it, and also a kind of youthful innocence/liveliness in it that many baroque pieces lack...in a way this is almost like a celtic tune!

[xyaqua]

Celtic! Wow, I didn't think about it until you said it, but yes! Excellent ear, and brain! Thanks, good comments like yours to these videos really make them something to come back to again and again!

[GoldenAwakening]

Thank you very much :) I'm very flattered!

[DILMADEOLIVERA]

Bellisimo, bravo!

felicitaciones a todos los musicos!

[stihtchev]

amazing.

[bankive]

TArquinio Merula (1594/5-1665

Ciaccona

[drugo1983]

meticolosità teutonica e anima italiana :D christina io te darebbe un bacio più grosso dell'arciliuto :D evviva l'arpeggiata!

[duccio74]

D'après un de mes Cd, titulé Viaggio musicale, cela semblerait avoir eté écrite par T. Merula.

[firebreathone]

Who is the composer?

[midnightblue80]

The info box on the right says Rossi, 17th century. I assume this means Luigi Rossi?

[firebreathone]

Thanks! I didn't know this composer yet.

[23danb]

how beautiful it sounds!! I love this music!! Who is the composer?

[alez71]

che bello!

[PeriodinstrumentfaN]

i just love Chaconnes !!! This one reminds me of "Ballo di Orsi" in La Calisto with René Jacob's and the Concerto Vocale Ghent. :-> ... Bravi !!!

[handelian]

Mi parte favorita (y seguro de muchos) es el solo de salterio, todo acompañado por ese maravilloso bajo que se repite que seguramente todos recordamos de muchas melodias de la epoca.

En lo personal prefiero la toma de sonido del salterio en este video que la que se hace en su disco de "all improvisso", de todos modos, maravilloso!

Un saludo.

[xyaqua]

does anyone know who the center violinist is?

[xyaqua]

found out she is Veronika Skuplik

[steelin71]

This seems to be track 3 on the ALL'IMPROVISO CD (Alpha 512). And don't miss LOS IMPOSSIBLES (Naive V 5055).

[xyaqua]

Thanks so much for identifying this! This really is magic!

[dimmyt79]

I want this concert full-time in DVD...

it's magic

[heloisealto]

Bonjour

Merci de mettre ces fantastiques vidéos à notre disposition, c'est un plaisir!

J'écoute en boucle les disques de cet ensemble. Leur jeu est plein de vie, de fougue et de finesse. Superbe!

[BachLoveNat]

BRAVO!!!!!

[rfdarsie]

Fantastic!

[vinix178]

Delizioso !!

[UngenioTarconi]

Elisabeth, the magician of the psalterium, I love her!

[Alrick54]

I agree with you ! She's absolutly divine ... Can someone tell me if this ciaconna is available on one of the Arpeggiata's album ?

[ewalinda]

Imponujace...Arte dei Suonatori zbliża się, ale jeszcze jest daleko:)

[ogechter]

Someone could confirm that this ciaccona is from Rossi and named "A l'imperio d'Amore chi non cedera" ?

[Fuliginosus]

Is Veronika the one we see at 0:37?

[alexegeviz]

yep...gorgeous isn't she?

[Fuliginosus]

Even prettier than Clara Bow

[paolojacm]

PLEASE someone has the music sheet of this piece (Chaconne - Cazzati)

[mogenicwolf]

This music makes me cheerful! :)

[janellemariejones]

music that touches the soul.....

[andreasscholl]

I love this music!!!!

Beautiful, makes me feel like summer...

[Otolinek10]

Muszę to ocenić na pięć gwiazdek, olśniewające!

[homofuturus]

I've never thought that this music could be so sensual...I'm also in love with Veronika she would be very well my lover while the player of the psalterion would be my wife...

[maxfieldparrish2003]

FIVE STARS! What do you call the instrument that sounds kind of like a harpsichord, but which the woman was playing like a xylaphone?

[Nearness]

Psaltérion.

[danensago]

thank thank thank thank thank thank thank thank thank

[alexegeviz]

I 'm so in love with the violinist Veronika Skuplik!

[Frinck51]

She is very nice, and play Bach Sonatas, nov. 11 in Aachen Germany. Forgot not de great Mira Glodeanu

[ihaveagun]

PLEASE..IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME..I'VE HEARD A MAN SINGING AN ITALIAN(I THINK)SONG ON MEZZO..i HAVE NO CLUES ON HIM EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT HE HAD SOME CONNECTION WITH CHRISTINA PLUHAR,HE IS BALD,SLIGHTLY FAT AND HAS THE VOICE OF A TENOR(OR ALTO..)HE REPEATED THOSE WORDS:"BESOGNO MURIRE"IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SONG...

[Monrealese]

That must be Marco Beasley, he recorded some albums with pluhar

[Eschatologe]

The Song is called "Homo fugit velut umbra" or "Passacaglia della Vita" it is part of the CD "Stefano Landi" by L'Arpeggiata (although it is not composed by Landi - the composer isn't known). The words "bisogna morire" mean "we must die".

[mymuk]

No, it's not. It's a Ciaccona by Maurizio Cazzati (1616-78. Maestro di Cappella of S. Petronio in Bologna). As others have said, it is available on the L'Arpeggiata cd all' Improvviso (track 3).

It's one of the most wonderful pieces of music I know.

[kidneykutter]

Fantastic. Chaconne 'til you moan!

[JAZZCAF]

wonderful

[stilodieuterpe]

Wow
