Hi,

BWV1065 is adapted for 4 Harpsichords from Vivaldi's "LEstro Armonico, Op.3, Concerto No. 10 in B minor for four violins, cello and strings, RV 580"

Greetings!!

There is on YouTube a very interesting version of this piece, featuring two harpsichords and two fortepianos.

Viva Vivaldi!

This would sound stunning with death metal drums.

I had always listened to a faster version of this piece, but I think I prefer this one. It's slow enough to let me appreciate every note, but at the same time, it doesn't loose its rythm and beauty.

You are an expert and I'm only an amateur who likes listen to Bach and baroque music.

I like very much Gustav Leonhardt interpretations, but I prefer Trevor Pinnock version than this one.

@amw62

Sure, this sounds very slow if you are used to faster tempo's. That does not make it bad. The interpretation is very musical(As can be expected from the most eminent Bach expert and harpsichord player of our times) . Who do you prefer?

@gr0mithtimon

In my opinion the tempo in this version is really too slow and I know other ones better than this.

[gr0mithtimon]

@amw62

Better? What do you mean by that?

[shsteinberg]

This slower version of the first movement of the concerto for four harpsichords is precisely the version I have been searching after for years and years and I am delighted to have it! There is a French film from the sixties that uses both the Vivaldi concerto for four violins and the Bach concerto for four harpsichords as background music. It is a schoolchildren's film and there is a memorable snowball battle with the Bach as the background music. Anyone recall the name of the film?

Two people think that the tempo is too much slow. There is a lot of executions better than this one.
