Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
Concerto for Two Violins in A Minor (RV 522)
L'Estro Armonico, Op.3.No.8

Willi Boskowsky, Jan Tomasow (solo violins)
IMHO the best performance
(in old '60s years, quasi in old I Musici style)

0:00 1st movement
3:59 2nd movement
8:02 3rd movement

  • Isn't this TOO slow for baroque music?

  • @FloripanoBR

    IMHO, not. The modern interpretations are too fast, especially for me.

    AFAIK, the whole life was slower in older age.

    ;)

  • @tnsnamesoralong: Too fast? This is Vivaldi. Everything is fast.

    Also, the first movement is Allegro. This is about Moderato. So even the original sheet music says it's fast.

  • @PianoMasta7 I understand that allegro is faster than moderato, but who and how define: what is allegro or moderato exactly without metronom? ;)

    I think: this question not such simple

  • I see but I have got another opinion. I don't like the modern people's fast tempo in the Vivaldi music. It loose much details during (fast) interpretation.

  • @soccerballmagnet oh, how hard is 8? what grade would double concerto in d minor (bach) be?

  • @GameFrosts Well, I mean RCM Exam grades.

  • @soccerballmagnet I play violin but I have never heard of "grades"

  • no no, everything was faster back in the day.

  • @TheNarniaFreak

    I think it would be about grade 9 ish, maybe 8....

  • Yay~~~ I'm playing this with my friend right now! So fun! XD

  • My orchestra is playing this right now. I'm a cello player. God the 2nd movement is so boring for us! A couple measures in the beginning and a couple at the end, but there's like 40+ bars of rest for us in the middle.
