I have already uploaded a slower version of this stunning piece which, in my opinion, does it more justice than this faster version. However, compare for yourselves and enjoy!

  • This song is phenomenal.Salieri truly makes music that is quite beautiful.I believe that he surpasses Mozart by a long shot with these beautiful variations.

  • I've been listening to all the works by Salieri, which I'm capable of finding on youtube. And, this is probably the best I've heard so far.

    Thanks for posting.

  • Probably the baldest improvisation on the Follia theme. I truly like it! One could think it was written by Mozart and stolen ! Only Mozart or Bethoven could have the courage to play with a tune in this flamboyant way ! :)

  • Well very well orchestrated probably the best use of la folia ive heard.

  • La folia, the underlying theme of this song, is one of the most beautiful classical music themes ever. It is also the most adapted theme in the history of music, it was a particular hit until the 19th century. I would advise anybody who likes this song to look up other interpretations of the theme, such as the 14th and 15th centuries versions. The one by Vivaldi il also very good.

  • This song is so elegant.

  • Great music *****
