L'estro Armonico (opus 3) is a collection of twelve concertos for 1, 2 and 4 violins written by Antonio Vivaldi in 1711. It largely augmented the reputation of Vivaldi as Il Prete Rosso; (The Red Priest). The collections were mostly put together in a chronological order. These concerti are often called concerti grossi due to their use of a concertino-style ensemble (solo cello is often used). J.S. Bach later transcribed concertos from this work for harpsichord solo (no.9, no.12), for organ solo (no.8, no.11) and for four harpsichords and strings (no.10

  • @dracublah The story is that Vivaldi didn't write over 600 concertos, but that he did write the same concerto 600 times over. (most musician's jokes are even cornier than this one, so don't get mad at me)

  • how does one choose theire personal favourite baroque composer!? All of them compose music so pure , so full of life , it's fuel for the soul!

  • @NagualElias

    Hahaha... your are right ! nobody cares about that... perhaps the english vocabulary are changing very fast,

    with many words turning meaningless... ex: Song = concerto = sonata = tango = rhumba = song = MUSIC.

    For foreign like me, it´s impossible to understand such changes in other people´s

    speech and way of thinking :) sorry for that !

  • @harpsinth who cares what you call it... it's good music.

  • @dracublah he uses the same riffs all over!!!

  • 5:13

    same riff as the concerto for 4 violins! hahaha, gatta love vivaldi :D

  • @NemoProkofiev551 - No hard feelings, my comment was not directed at you. And, if other consider you are pedantic or petty is theirs problem.Classically music IS and MUST remain pedantic,sophisticated,superio­r which means it´s not meant for amateurs.

  • the tempo of some of Vivaldi's music is incredible

  • Is called "work" , Vivaldi´s work not Vivaldi´s song.kenny g,britney spears,lady gaga make "songs".Vivaldi was a giant of baroque music era.
