1. Concerto in C major, Rv 558 "com molto stromenti", Allegro molto
2. Concerto in G minor, Siciliano
- London Chamber Orchestra conducted by Bernard Lanner (Innovative Music Products Ltd.-Hallmark Classics-Carlton Music-Elap Music)
Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (March 4, 1678 July 28, 1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso ("The Red Priest"), was a baroque composer and Venetian priest, as well as a famous virtuoso violinist, born and raised in the Republic of Venice. The Four Seasons, a series of four violin concerti, is his best-known work and a highly popular baroque piece.
The Concerto in C major is originally written for 2 violins in tromba marina, 2 recorders, 2 trumpets, 2 mandolines, 2 salmoés, 2 theorboes, cello, strings and harpsichord but in modern versions (as this here) is transcribed for 2 trumpets, 2 violas, 2 flutes, 2 mandolins, 2 guitars, cello & strings.
Scenes from the movies "Phantom of the Opera" (C major) and "Elvira Madigan" (G minor).

  • anyone know the catalog number of the second piece? or is it the same as the first one, rv 558?

  • @dsylecxia  RV 317

  • After I have heard the "Europa Galante"-Interpretation I am pretty sure Vivaldi wouldnt have liked this one a bit. Sorry

  • @Androjaeger Your apologies to London Chamber Orchestra!!

  • You have "carnival" misspelled.

    Which "Phantom..." film are you referring to? The footage looks like it's from some rock video.

  • @millertj27 it's from the new version of the movie. I prefer Carnival to Carnibal!!!

  • @ensimon thanks!

  • @Androjaeger

    I have exactly the same opinion. It sounds so dull, so lifeless, shineless, so boring, conservative... No virtuosity, no joy, no crazy Vivaldi spirit in it... No wonder if one starts with classical music on the wrong foot by listening to a poor performance he gets discouraged for life and reinforced in his/her stereotypes... What a pitty.

  • What a mind blowing second movement - very romantic and completely ad lib - no one has ever played it like this before

  • Grazie (:*
