Corelli Concerto Grosso Op.6 No 8 "Christmas Concerto" in G Minor Part 1

Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713), one of the most influential musicians and composers of the Baroque era. His published achieved so much popularity that was unmatched until Haydn. Although not the first person to establish or coin the term "concerto grosso," he was hands down the most important in establishing it as a popular music form.

The 8th concerto of his op.6 bears the title "Christmas Concerto, " which has been a popular piece even outside of the Baroque repertoire.

@DubbedTheUnforgiven It's the Baroque tuning ;))

But there's no an exact frequency. For example, the Baroque A is an A-flat in Mordern tuning

[Strophal]

IGood but I am not very convinced by this too much 'staccato'...it seems - to my ear- very distant from a Corelli spirit, and slightly anachronistic

[DubbedTheUnforgiven]

what is the tuning frequency did they use? Certainly not A440.

I like how the picture has the original bow

To jeden z tych utworów, które sprawiły, że zainteresowałem się muzyką klasyczną. Przed laty, oczekując świąt bożonarodzeniowych, żyłem nadzieją usłyszenia 8 concerto grosso. Ta muzyka zawsze nadawała świętom innego, mistycznego wymiaru.
