Corelli, Scarlatti, Albinoni and Vivaldi greatest genius.

[@0Videoteca0]

Queste sinfonie, suonate dai Musici, sono qualcosa di incredibile. Sublime!

[@rr7firefly]

There was a period in my young adult life where I turned to this music as a refuge from the confusion swirling all around me. It was not an escape but a deliberate strategy to maintain inner focus to advance calmly through some of life's darker moments. Coming back to this years later I realize that there is always a reason to listen to this music. If only more people did just that...

[@brucetaylor3571]

I like how you think. Good for you.

[@fredgarv79]

I never went through what you did, but I could not agree more completely that there is always a reason to listen to this music and I wish more people would. I think it could bring more peace to the world because it puts you in a state of mind where everything else seems not so important.

[@baartkoster1120]

Chi può calmare l'anima e allo stesso tempo portarla in regni più alti come Scarlatti?

[@gnzanivan]

Una generazione prima di Bach. Giusto per segnare bene i tempi storici. Musica straordinaria per inventiva e per rigore strutturale. Da Alessandro poi nasce Domenico, per me il più straordinario musicista per tastiera del suo tempo. E tutto questo a Napoli. Ma nel '600 e '700. Nel tempo tutto ciò è completamente svanito nel caos e nel disordine. Credo inoltre che l'Italia non sia capace di promuovere e valorizzare le proprie grandezze del passato. Perché non ci sono iniziative continue per riproporre la nostra grande musica? Anche su Sky Classica si continuano a riproporre i soliti autori romantici tedeschi e dintorni. Non si programmano mai serie di concerti del nostro periodo barocco, per esempio, se non qualche sparuta opera di Pergolesi.

[@aarondezibenseisz1712]

I Scarlatti erano Siciliani e non è del tutto escluso che non fossero LOMBARDI emigrati in Sicilia ai bei tempi del Regno delle Due Sicilie con l'esplosione del più bel barocco di tutta Europa

[@domenicodenicolo4013]

Concordo pienamente con quanto sopra in merito alla necessità di dare maggiore spazio alla musica italiana del 600 e 700 rispetto al consueto tran tran del repertorio romantico

[@domenicodenicolo4013]

Ed inoltre aggiungo che questa esecuzione de 'i musici' è veramente mirabile

[@steveegallo3384]

Is it true that Scarlatti passed most of his life in Spain?

[@fabmar5151]

This is true for his son Domenico, who was also a composer and a keyboard virtuoso. Domenico spent most of his life in Spain. Alessandro Scarlatti spent most of his life between Naples and Rome.

[@simonkawasaki4229]

Grazie Mille, Padre Scarlatti!

[@giorgiomazziotta8366]

Straordinario.... Equivale in certi casi a Bach.... Ricordi giovanili.....

[@johnhunter3455]

Priceless.....my chamber orchestra is currently doing the Corelli concerto grosso, but next in line is going to be this wonderful set of gems. Absolute heaven to play and conduct chamber music.

[@0Videoteca0]

Great! I hope it went good and was appreciated by the audience. :D

[@CopShowGuy]

I've always wanted to be part of a baroque chamber orchestra. The big groups do big classical, romantic, and modern pieces and they are often a treat to play but my heart is always with Baroque music.

[@ilpretterossorocks]

A classic and a gem of a recording! I Musici - The true pioneers of the Baroque music renaissance! I’m fortunate to own this recording and the second recording completing the set

[@josealexandre6632]

Excelente ! Quando o barroco é interpretado por mestres como I MUSICI, ganha uma tonalidade de "opera perfecta in spiritoque instrumenti"...Muito obrigado caríssima harpsichordVal e uma saudação muito especial aqui de Cascais, Portugal.

[@ianwilkinson4602]

I came to listen to this as I have a copy of Vivaldi's Four Seasons by this ensemble,to me it is the finest version of that work.This too is something very special indeed,thank you.

[@matlacatecuhtli]

I love baroque music! It brings a wonderful peace to mind and conveys a sense of cosmic beauty. Thankyou, Val!

[@harpsichordval4614]

+Miguel Domínguez You are always welcome, Miguel !

[@juanjosemorales9160]

To think that there was a time when the only Baroque available was Romantic style arrangements that were all sound and fury that did not do any justice to the Scarlattis and their contemporaries! JS Bach would not have liked one bit the way Stokowsky ruined his TOCCATA AND FUGUE at the beginning of FANTASIA.

[@ilresole603]

Genio italiano ❤❤❤❤

[@quadruprum]

A.スカルラッティはどちらかと言うと、オペラとかで名を馳せた人だが、器楽曲も驚くほど美しい作品を残してる。

[@albertospaziani9525]

Che musica straordinaria.

[@mereyeslacalle]

In heaven with Concerto Grosso For Strings No.2 in C Minor, third movement Minuet between minutes 59:39 to 1:01:28 !

[@foscodarioscrivo6105]

Insieme ai concerti per oboe di T.Albinoni e la cetra di A.Marcello, Queste sinfonie di Scarlatti sono di una bellezza inaudita,

[@sergiothedancer]

Listen to this relaxing and beautiful music from de baroque, makes feel very peaceful....

[@antonioluciovivaldi282]

Alessandro Scarlatti: great, immense genius. Absolutely at the "heavyweight" level as J.S. Bach and Handel ... a real mess, a mighty pillar of European music and culture!

[@0Videoteca0]

Absolutely true. But why a real mess?

[@sophiaperennis2360]

Absolutely not even remotely on the level of Bach or Handel. His son, maybe. Actually, probably.

[@pitagora79]

Keep in mind that Alessandro Scarlatti is one generation earlier than Bach and Handel.

[@hussainsaibo9692]

Yes, heavenly ! That's best said. Thank you.

Dov'era la camorra al tempo di Alessandro Scarlatti?Possibile che a significare lo smarrimento di valori universali come "Sinfonie di concerto grosso"annunciano in Europa e prima di Bach sia chiamato un palermitano?Vorrei chiedere ai napoletani di ricordarsi ella loro storia.

Hello Ria!! Wonderful New Year!! Thank you very much for all great music in you page!!! I am musician and always put my storyes with my music, but this time my friends wanted surprise me and send me my story for New Year with this wonderful music of Skarlatti. Can I put this in yotube ? The story in russian. I have translation to cestina and english , and if you want I will send the translation to in facebook or email. All best to you!!!

[@shin-i-chikozima]

The atmosphere in the Middle Ages is drifting wondefully . It's powerful , is delicate and is a minute performance , so I have deep admiration . Greeting from mysterious Japan .

[@graziacavasino8884]

MIDDLE AGES?! The author of this music was born in 1660 and died in 1725, while the Middle Ages span from the 5th century to the late 15th century - an unacceptable error of about 200 years...

[@shin-i-chikozima]

@@graziacavasino8884 Thankyou wonderful your comment Please spend time for spirit

[@mrbigarms]

Fine but rather old fashioned performances, I wonder if the high flute part was actually written for the treble recorder.

[@lunoxmos7623]

For your information, I think the high flute part is actually for recorder.

[@alexanderdupuis]

I certainly would like to know the title of the painting and the artist's name.

ASTA POMPEJA ( ITALIA )

[@shadbolt4687]

@bla bla and m.e.s and Zanivan;...if the Germans have propagated their musical heritage without due recognition of these Italian masters, please don't disregard Handel's acknowledgement of the Scarlattis and Corelli and the Italian operatic influences on that giant of baroque. Anyway ...the continuing rich Italian heritage from Rossini Donizetti through to Verdi and Puccinl will never be hidden. Perhaps time for Italy to re- invigorate its baroque pioneering genius in the concert and opera halls of Europe.

[@nathanstarr6056]

Could you attribute the painting please?

Yes indeed. "If Only." If only a Time Machine, Penicillin, Antibiotics and Strawberry Ice Cream Sodas had been in existence during the Blessed Baroque Era I would strap myself into my Time Machine, say a very earnest prayer to The Boss, and then I'd be out of here faster than anyone could say, 'What happened to Mr.Excelsior? You know - that Odd Duck who lived around the corner next to the Katzenjammer Family." [Type your own personal "If Only" below and then hit "Reply." Who knows? Anything's possible - right?]

[@wojtas200255]

Vibrating, hysterical sound. I Musici have nothing to do with baroque music.

[@mmbmbmbmb]

wojtas200255 could it be, that you are slightly overestimating yourself?

[@wojtas200255]

I'm afraid that I Musici are slightly overestimate themself, when they record Baroque music.

[@aarondezibenseisz1712]

woitas200255 You should take some benzodiazepine at times whe YOO are hysterical

[@wojtas200255]

@Aaron de Zibenseisz Thanks to the eminent connoisseur of early music performance and applied psychiatry for a highly substantive opinion. ;-)

[@al30sal7]

It is a recorded dated. In those days the musical philology was not cured. Yet it seems to me to be appreciable and pleasant. Elliot gardiner would performs these concerts differently but I listen to the I Musici and Gardiner with different ears and I love the one and the other.

[@FighterFred]

Well, each generation has to do their interpretation. I don't see anything wrong with using the capability of modern instruments as to expression. Tryng to sound original when there is zero recordings from that time is ludicrous.

[@franciscoespinozagamboa6490]

Ridícula observación.Si estos compositores vivieran , usarían los instrumentos modernos con todas sus potencialidades.
