  • They are all too busy with the "Four Seasons" for the billionth time, no doubt.

  • Performances such as this never cease to dazzle. Suberb music executed with all the brilliance that Locatelli's music demands. Bravo.

  • recreated youtube account just to post on this video. May I point out that this piece is the first example I've EVER heard (in the baroque/classical/or even romantic periods) where the V chord and its suspended 4th resolves obliquely to the 5th of the IV chord. Unbelievably, and perhaps accidently modern sounding. Amazing. It's absolutely what gives this piece its vibrance. I heard for the first time today.

  • @aleiv Agreed. The solist doesn't sound so great in some sections. There were a few moments in the solo where the bow starts to get too close to the bridge and it gives a really treble-y sul ponticello kind of sound. I imagine the solist is struggling to play this on gut, too. Probably a bad idea to play this period-style since it was clearly avant garde for its day.

  • I totally and completely agree with that:)

  • Possibly one of my favorite compositions of all time. Totally and completely masterful.

  • magnifique!!!!les mots ne suffisent pas!

  • Cute sopranino joke in the middle.

    Why not? It´s different and breaks the predictability of it all.

    Italy produced prodigius quantity of art and music and much of it was not outstanding in the way Bach or Scarlatti, but that was the culture and the business of the time. But Italy remained the inspiration for the rest of Europe disregarding of it´s cliches.

  • It's strange. Locatelli is younger than Vivaldi, but Vivaldi is more modern.

  • Incredible high notes - I wonder whether Locatelli played this with his coat on as has been noted.
