  • less would have been more here. the harpsichord is too scratchy and distractive for this piece

    

  • I like how the harpsichord basically just becomes a percussion instrument, haha, clack clack clack clack

  • Sensational !

  • OMG! They really Rock!

  • @xyaqua The time i saw him in florence, he even smiled at us lol while playing! hahaha it was funny cuz my parents and i were like hmm did he just smile at us?! and then at the end he smiled again and said thank you to us! hahaha

    wont ever forget that!

  • This is the most animated i've ever seen Biondi- I saw him live one- almost stonefaced- hardly any motion like this- but the music was arguably even more creative and intense- Biondi has cajoled Europa Galante into the most beautifully focused creative interpreters of the old italian baroque, Pure genius,

  • look at 1:42 after Fabio's solo... ...he makes this hilariously self-absorbed expression like "mmmmyes, I know, I know..."

  • Fabio eres un maestro,¡qué emoción siempre verte!... Antonio estaría feliz ;-)).....y tu Europa Galante es simplemente genial!!!!

  • Fuori dal comune!!! W Vivaldi quello vero :-))))

  • Wow!!!! Biondi and Europa Galante Rocks!!!
