Antonio Vivaldi - Concerto for 2 Mandolins and Orchestra (RV532) by Het CONSORT

Antonio Vivaldi (1678 - 1741) composed his Double Concerto for two mandolins (RV532) for the girls of the 'Ospedale della Pietà'. This 'Ospedale della Pietà' was a girls orphanage ánd a music school in Venice where, from 1704, Antonio Vivaldi held the post of the main violin tutor and where he, from 1713 till 1740, was appointed as its foremost composer. It is the place where he composed most of his wonderful music.
Here the concerto, with its three movements 'Allegro - Andante - Allegro' is played, filmed at a concert performed by the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT on June 7th 2014 in the English Reform Church at the Begijnhof in Amsterdam. The soloists are two members of this orchestra, Sebastiaan de Grebber and Ferdinand Binnendijk.
Thanks go to all musicians involved and especially so to Jan Ulderink and Jan Penninkhof for making the videos, to David Miller for the excellent sound recording of this concerto and to the editor of this video.

The iconic adante was so well done! The dynamics was really enjoyable!

[@michelafornasier9950]

Vivaldi resta l' anima artistica di Venezia,malinconico,crepuscolare e contemporaneamente allegro ed esaltante ha fissato nel tempo il pathos di questa straordinaria citta'. Onore a chi con estrema concentrazione e virtuosismo e' riuscito ad evocare ,ancora oggi, le atmosfere di Venezia e il genio di Vivaldi.

[@michelafornasier9950]

Vivaldi 'e' come Venezia,decadente e intriso di vita,citta'dalle mille risorse e paesaggi dell' anima,sa andare nel profondo e riportarti su.La sua gioa non e' mai superficiale,ma parla alla vera fonte della vita.Saluti da Venezia.P, s. non so l' inglese ,ma ho intuito.Ricorda che Venezia E' Sempre rinata dalle sue ceneri,come l' araba fenice. Ciao

Not only is the music splendid with every note spot on but it's so refreshing to find an area of KZbin where the comments are complimentary and with class.

Each movement is a masterpiece in itself. Thanks be to God for all musicians . May they be blessed and have peace always. I wish I could be numbered among them.

[@johncliff5417]

I thank God for the love of music from being a child brought up with church music. My late uncle Schofield was a local church organist and my school choir pals and I joined his choir. My elder brother also was the organist at another local church and went on to be organist at all the RAF stations he was at. Dear old dad sang at his old church in the choir for years and years, peddling two and a half miles there and back on his bike every Sunday morning .

[@bohemian46]

Excellent !!And two thumbs up for the bass player.

[@thomasschnauber9038]

Wonderful performance! The rescoring is marvelous, and it's nice to hear some skillful and lovely ornamentations in a piece that is usually performed fairly straight.

[@ChrisOsborn43]

I had no idea that there were any concertos for mandolin. This is superb. I've been trying to teach myself mandolin, but I've only been playing folk music. Ah well, we can dream . . .

[@henrry00leal]

lo entiendo a la perfección, en mi país es tanto así que no hay canciones en clave de sol, solo existen en números en un tetragrama

[@dalesedgwick858]

Vivaldi has something for wveryone honestly. I've been playing recorder and tin whistle for a while and then found vivaldi, and he has sone kickass concertos for recorder that blew me away, espesially as an amateur. I recommend you check out the recorder concertos

[@balddonaldcerrone7930]

absolutely wonderful playing. the mandolin has such unique sound, and sounds wonderful when played in an ensemble.

[@greciabarraza4986]

As a violinist I picked up the mandolin because I wanted to venture into folk but I always find myself drawling back to baroque. If only I had this many friends I could convince to learn mandolin with me.

[@christinaventuraveado6016]

Very well done! Awsome!!! I love Vivald!

[@neunwest]

I used to listen to this on my CD boombox in college without minding it really. The CD cost USD 1.99 at the local music store, so I just bought without thinking. It would end up being one of my go-to morning music. It made the start of the day feel lovely and powerful at the same time.

[@tunarealdeguadalajaraeneas5908]

Y a mí toco ser mandolinista, y de verdad disfruto tanto el pulsar tan bello instrumento, este pequeño trozo de madera con unos cuantos hilos de metal, bien hiere el silencio con un melancólico trinar, con un vivo punteo, con sonoros acordes, inspira a la beatitud, o a la sensualidad contenida a punto de desbordar, si mil vidas viviese sería mandolinista, siempre he creído que los instrumentos nos escogen, y tu me escogiste a mí!!! Bellisima interpretación, cálida, viva, dinámica, soberbia.....

Fantastic! This is my favorite of Vivaldi's mandolin concertos. OK. It's tied RV 558. I really like them both. Are you all playing Embergers? Great performance. Great mandolin players! I wish there were more performances of classical mandolin music here in the US. Unfortunately most Americans associate mandolin a with bluegrass. Thank you for sharing.

[@OrchestradiMandolini]

Saint Steven Thank you Saint Steven, for your nice comment on our performance. Yes, ln our Chamber Orchestra Het CONSORT (except for the guitars), we play Roman the plectrum instruments from the Embergher atelier. Best greetings from the Netherlands, Alex Timmerman.

[@valeriamariamotolese342]

Why advertising not between movements, at last, just before the end? . It' annoying a great performance

[@peterquennellnyc]

Probably originally played in Venice entirely by women. So. A mandolin chamber orchestra! Not many of them in the world! Correction: I see we even have one in NYC! Nice performance. We can watch the hands of the lead players here; it'd be nice if they were slightly more amplified.

[@merelmandoline4751]

A better recording would have done the trick. I think the sound here comes from a humble Zoom recorder that isn`t positioned perfectly.

[@jorisArt]

My amateur orchestra would like to play this beautiful arrangement. How can I get a copy?
