  • Is there brass in this?  I thought it was a strings concerto?

  • @IssacAndSophie No. What you might be hearing is the chamber organ playing continuo.

  • is this A = 392 Hz?

  • Yes.

  • Not sure if it is that exact frequency, but i can confirm you that it is lower than 440, i suppose it is in baroque tuning

  • It is a whole tone lower.

  • I played the cello part for my orchestra earlier this year...

    it was HARD.

    But then again, it's worth it--in return I get a part that's more exciting than the violin's!

  • All you wonderful musicians, my ears are all I rely on. Baroque Classicism, Bach, Corelli, Vivaldi...I'd die to be able to do what you do. As it is, I can't, I only hear the music you play for my pleasure. The least of you is amazing to my ears. xxx

  • Listening to this exactly when it was meant to be listened to brings a whole new meaning to the concerto!

  • It pains me to say this is much better than the recording I own by Ensemble 415 (brilliant though they are usually). There is more punch and immediacy to this.

  • I'm ignorant about how this is Christmas related. Can someone please tell me how it is related to Christmas?

  • @IssacAndSophie It can also sound that way with added Double Bass!

  • Which group plays this?

  • the second part is so beautiful! I used to play it, it has always been my favorite part :)

  • @C0urante

    I love how involved the cello's are, while being the backbone and support you guys have a great line that just screams "violins are not the only exciting part here. LISTEN TO US!"

    The second violins part is great too.

  • @kxcproject It was difficult for the eighth-grade me, though -_-
