Nicola Benedetti Plays Vivaldi [Strings Sessions]

[@ViolinTeacher]

This literally squeezed the tears out of my eyes.

[@WilliamFang173]

The first is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard

[@road2acoustic99]

Damn, so beautiful, I love this baroque bow 😍

[@imkeclerx5394]

[@tlazone979]

[@netimage10s]

[@hectorhdeze1990]

Nicola Benedetti ❤❤❤🎻🎻🎻

[@CanisLupusSeesUs]

Love her!

[@djsteel56]

Wonderful!

[@muthukumarsingaravel9579]

Beautiful

[@comesahorseman]

I studied just enough violin in school to know that both of these pieces are a "bear" to play. Well done! 😄

[@MintLeaf19]

Molto bello. Grazie.

[@MintLeaf19]

Una perfecta hermosa y dulce serenata. Gracias.

[@carolineandtigger]

Brava!!!

[@MusicBuddies2]

The first piece is actually the second movement from Vivaldi's concerto for violin and strings RV 583. Not RV 114.

[@christiansanderson9563]

Max Vitullo yes indeed most people has forgotten about this piece.

[@rapperslashactor]

I saw this comment a couple months ago and have become obsessed with RV 583. Such a hidden little Vivaldi gem!

[@packrattogo]

She eventually recorded the RV 583 on "Baroque." One of her very best CDs! I really hope she continues revisit and record baroque throughout her career....she seems to have a special connection with the energy of that music. And I think the Gariel sounds absolutely beautiful with that setup. [Correction: only the Andante, as played here, not the entire concerto]

[@mateomo]

Fabuloso Nicky!! Many thanks!!

[@michaelreaper666]

That is so good .Many Thanks :)

[@mikegreenguitar]

The violin has a kind of dry sound here, which I like very much! Is it the baroque bow that gives it that sound?

[@UlimorUdamenta]

Could be the gut strings too! Or just her style of playing. Either way, she sounds lovely

[@-Stinky_Pinky]

And she's keeping the bow closer to the fingerboard as opposed to the bridge.

[@fabioz.4459]

bravissima!!!!

[@greigdavidson9331]

She plays as beautiful as she looks

[@TheNeilsolaris]

So do I. But I don't look that good!

[@rebeccamouse9294]

I wish I could buy a recording of them playing first piece they played in this session. Did they ever record this for commercial release?

[@mariajoaocunhacarvalho3096]

Giuliano Carmignola... Can't stop hearing his version!

[@rapperslashactor]

I'm learning RV 583 and his rendition has been my guide! Nicola playing the second movement is the only video I can find of any part of this piece though.

[@inmanmark]

@@rapperslashactor Yes. it amazes me that this piece seems to have only been recorded by these two and this is the only video. Actually, I think that there are full concert recording of Giuliano Carmignola where he plays it. I just can't find it again - he has a lot of recorded concerts. His recorded version is stunning.

[@rapperslashactor]

@@inmanmarkFound one! kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6bEdqupdp6Sqac

[@alex1chang1]

It seems that she doesn’t feel well on her wrist. However, she can still play the music so touching. That’s why she has been put on the list of the top 25 violinists ever since in the world.

[@RandyRydberg]

Who in their right mind would down-vote this?

[@dalehammond3473]

All the way down the coast the sun was bright, the ocean sparkled and the hills and valleys, as far as the eye could see, were yellow with rolling patterns of spring flowers mixed with vast green quilts of new grass. No less, in my mind's eye, I could see out there on the water an old Spanish Galleon bound for Manila riding low and heavy with cargo loaded off the rich, bustling docks of Acapulco. On deck a violinist played and I could hear his fine notes as they wove themselves in and around and forever throughout the most gentle breeze....

[@mypianofavourites1635]

FAB Stuff

[@dantebordet7657]

A caress from Vivaldi.

[@kolozsboronkay9783]

Lucky Ivano!

[@Sungha-im5df]

can anyone tell me why her bow is so tight? i know she is a soloist and knows what shes doing but i just want to know

[@toumard1]

Sungha 0019 it’s a baroque bow. It is designed to curve out when tightened.

[@iamhandsome6058]

That's a baroque bow.

[@Shrinksjp]

This is actually Vivaldi Concerto in B Flat Major Andante

[@anknv]

The labeling of the pieces is completly wrong. First piece is second movement of rv 583, second piece is the cadenza of rv 208a (Grosso mogul), third movement, as she said and not rv 212a!

[@stassi7]

Here is the same piece with the rest of the orchestra RV372a kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYDHemR6rJ15frM

[@sertorio1040]

Andante RV 583

[@mirekpukacz1824]

Your right shoulder... Where is my ruler...?

[@voenigs612]

Help!!! Someone has to show her how to play the baroque violin!

[@lukashf8440]

there is no way to play baroque violin:)

[@lukashf8440]

what do I know? I play violin😄😄 but I think you misunderstood me... I meant there is no "proper" way to play violin....

[@75Chopin]

Strange way of playing. She may using baroque bow and baroque setup violin but her playing style is still essentially modern, so it sounds rather weird, almost like country/jazz music at times ?! And not because she is using full heavy vibrato at times but the phrasing/weight of bowing is not kosher Baroque.

[@carmenhuxley8236]

Oh, hush. She is magnificent!

[@mateus69908]

Is this actuali the most beautifull form of use and playng baroque music .

[@IIAASSOONN]

I am sure she asked him to play some chords.. then while she was playing: "wtf old man!! just keep a simple accompaniment.."

[@MrYellowfinch]

How silly to play with a bandage: any professional violinist knows that this is pure attention seeking and nothing else.

[@Sungha-im5df]

MrYellowfinch what the hell? what if she seriously injured her forearm? what else do you want her to do lol

[@Sungha-im5df]

she wouldnt wear it if she didnt need it

[@johncuriale7085]

I think you should change your name from yellow to Green,, if you know what I mean.

[@marywatson6333]

She does not need to attention seek, you obviously do!

[@georgewatt5886]

Awa an bile yer heid man. A lady o her calibre doesnae need tae seek attention.

[@marecalmo1159]

BRAVO BELLISSIMO IVANO !

[@katis999]

beautiful
