I think it it's allegro ,and not molto vivace,or presto.Otherwise,a good interpretation.
-

@Grundalizer! Thanks for the Suggestion was not a Bach piece that I was familiar with. Yes this does seem a litle on the rushed side.. It seems to lack the smoothness that I am use to hearing.... but I still like it.. :)

@Grundalizer Not on another level to my ears but certainly always sound fresh no matter how many times you hear a piece by him. That said I can't think he composed anything as moving as say Bach's St john Passion.

As far as the orchestra playing a very strong part in conjunction with the cellos, i'll agree, but the interpretation makes up for it. Other versions because they are slower, have sounded more melodic with the delivery of the notes...especially the smaller string instruments.
this one, with the faster pace, is more dynamic and bold. the orchestra only adds to the boldness.

i love this pace, personally. i find it to be suspenseful and brilliant.
-
it's beautiful bur needs to slow down.

Out of the cellos who plays what part?

I have listened to a lot of classical music, but Vivaldi, at least to my ears, heart, and brain, is on another level. His music is insane. Vivaldi's music has changed my life. Whereas one or two songs from some of the well known "greats" of classical music might sound very good to me.all of Vivaldi's music sounds good. There is that thing that clicks inside our heads when we hear a song we like. There is bearable music, then there is music that physically moves us. Vivaldi makes the latter

I love Yo-Yo Ma, but I don't like this recording much at all. The balance is way off (e.g. harpsichordist playing too loudly, but I feel the soloists are completely overpowered by the orchestra in general) and the tempo is too fast for my taste. It just comes off as being sloppy and chaotic, even though all of the parts are being executed properly.
