Amber Spring ..Spring In the 2nd movement, the main character is a shepherd who dreams lying on the grass and falling in siesta due to a romantic and refreshing feeling of spring. He in his dream proposes marriage to any girl naturally “Please merry me, if not I’ll be very sad”. Not this way, he begs her to do. She is a daughter of the rancher who he loves. In the 3rd movement, he awakes from his sleep and is very pleased... because the girl in his dream is who is he loves usually and he feels she is very beautiful so he proposes marriage to her. This is a desperate propose and the most important is not common but very vivid. Therefore, the shepherd determines God shows his mate. Summer In the 2nd movement, he prays eagerly to God that it will be cool since he’s knocked due to the heat and then he hears the thunder is coming from a distance. His ears pick up with surprise on hearing it!! Oh! it’ll rain!.... he loves to rain. In the 3rd movement, finally he is caught in the shower!!! He is crazy in the pouring rain because the heat is gone all of a sudden. Autumn In the 1st movement, the shepherd watching a flock of sheep on the grass throughout the summer is gladly visiting to her who he loves due to the dream in the spring in his free time. He thinks if he meets her and propose marriage to her, of course she would accept it and visits to her but he is just not pleased. I wonder I’m wrong? I’m afraid and worried. In the 2nd movement, he has being comforted and endured by thinking of her throughout the hot summer but she looks the other way directly on telling her. Therefore, he is comint back weakly. In this background, it’s to express his severe sorrow. Winter In the 2nd movement, a beautiful view of the field covered with white snow is expressed. My interpretation is correct....I hope the New York Times will publish my articles in these newspapers....Truly I am the only one who knows classical music that has been hidden in secrets for many years....I want to make classical music known to everyone as soon as TV commentary....From Dvorak's New World, his music is his heart that wishes his country Czech Republic to be independent from Austria ...Enjoying the prosperity and freedom of American society, the Czech Republic at the time of Dvorak was a tributary of Austria...So he had a heartache and wrote music letters to his country from the New World...In the third movement, fighting for independence has taken his mind

Concerto No. 1 - "La Primavera" (Spring) Spring Movement 1 (Allegro) - 0:04 Springtime is upon us. The birds celebrate her return with festive song, and murmuring streams are softly caressed by the breezes. Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar, casting their dark mantle over heaven, Then they die away to silence, and the birds take up their charming songs once more. Spring Movement 2 (Largo) - 3:31 On the flower-strewn meadow, with leafy branches rustling overhead, the goat-herd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him. Spring Movement 3 (Allegro) - 6:02 Led by the festive sound of rustic bagpipes, nymphs and shepherds lightly dance beneath the brilliant canopy of spring. Concerto No. 2 - "L'estate" (Summer) Summer Movement 1 (Allegro non molto) - 10:22 Beneath the blazing sun's relentless heat men and flocks are sweltering,pines are scorched. We hear the cuckoo's voice; then sweet songs of the turtle dove and finch are heard. Soft breezes stir the air….but threatening north wind sweeps them suddenly aside. The shepherd trembles, fearful of violent storm and what may lie ahead. Summer Movement 2 (Adagio) - 15:41 His limbs are now awakened from their repose by fear of lightning's flash and thunder's roar, as gnats and flies buzz furiously around. Summer Movement 3 (Presto) - 17:54 Alas, his worst fears were justified, as the heavens roar and great hailstones beat down upon the proudly standing corn. Concerto No. 3 - "L'autunno" (Autumn) Autumn Movement 1 (Allegro) - 21:01 The peasant celebrates with song and dance the harvest safely gathered in. The cup of Bacchus flows freely, and many find their relief in deep slumber. Autumn Movement 2 (Adagio molto) - 26:10 The singing and the dancing die away as cooling breezes fan the pleasant air, inviting all to sleep without a care. Autumn Movement 3 (Allegro) - 28:41 The hunters emerge at dawn, ready for the chase, with horns and dogs and cries. Their quarry flees while they give chase. Terrified and wounded, the prey struggles on, but, harried, dies. Concerto 4 - "L'inverno" (Winter) Winter Movement 1 (Allegro non molto) - 32:05 Shivering, frozen mid the frosty snow in biting, stinging winds; running to and fro to stamp one's icy feet, teeth chattering in the bitter chill. Winter Movement 2 (Largo) - 35:21 To rest contentedly beside the hearth, while those outside are drenched by pouring rain. Winter Movement 3 (Allegro) - 37:00 We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling. Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up. We feel the chill north winds coarse through the home despite the locked and bolted doors… this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights. Suite Conclusion: 40:05 Encore: Summer Movement 3 (Presto) - 43:55 Final Conclusion: 46:24

It's easy to take the Four Seasons for granted because it gets performed so often and we hear it many times. But it's a great piece of music and this Janine Jansen/Amsterdam Sinfonietta performance really brought out the great composition by Vivaldi. They didn't rush at all. It's an excellent performance, the scenes are brought vividly to life. Lovely to see the musicians get a standing ovation at the end.

SLIPPED DISC Playboy? It's not a game February 3, 2009 by Norman Lebrecht No comments. An excited reader has notified me that Playboy magazine is running a feature titled Too Hot to Handel: the sexiest babes in classical music. Before you waste a moment’s click on the site, let me assure you that all of them are decorously clad. Along with the all-too predictable Anna Netrebko and Danielle de Niese, Playboy has selected violinists Leila Josefowicz, Julia Fischer, Janine Jansen, Hilary Hahn and Anne-Sophie Mutter, the last in a photograph that must have been taken at least ten years ago, or in very flattering light. Ms Mutter is described as Austrian - she’s German - and a MILF, which is a term that does not bear cultural elucidation. Two relative unknowns are included. One is the oboist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the other, perhaps, someone’s girlfriend. All good clean fun, right? Wrong. Let me tell you a story. Ten years ago, a Finnish violinist called Linda Lampenius allowed herself to be talked into posing nude for Playboy under the stage name Linda Brava. Her centrefold appearance landed an EMI record contract and an avalanche of media attention. Her first record reached number 14 in the UK charts and there was no follow-up. She was taken up as a talent by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber, and quickly dropped. She appeared on Baywatch, just the once. A victim of unrealistic expectations, Linda went through years of turmoil before making her way back home to Finland, where a producer friend of mine recorded her some months ago playing chamber music - rather well, he said. The story has a happy ending. Linda, 38, is expecting her first baby in the coming weeks. Let’s wish her well.

[@arqmarianonuno1892]

The Four Seasons (Italian: Le quattro stagioni) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. Composed around 1720, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi’s best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces in the Baroque music repertoire. The texture of each concerto is varied, each resembling its respective season. For example, “Winter” is peppered with silvery pizzicato notes from the high strings, calling to mind icy rain, whereas “Summer” evokes a thunderstorm in its final movement, which is why the movement is often called “Storm” (as noted in the list of derivative works).

[@caravaggiosaccomplice7841]

Beautiful composition, but terrible delivery. I think the soloist picked faster tempo than she, and the rest of the group can play. Either that or they cannot read the score. Also, some of the group members look mentally disturbed. Unsettling.

[@humptydumpty-m8u]

you could be right.

[@rockwall6]

This IS the best videography I have seen!! Simply because the cameras were NOT focused on the fingering of the musicians, (who cares) but rather their facial expressions, especially their total "emotional involvement" with the music. That is an aspect of musical performance that grabs my attention, and pulls me with them, into their experience!!!

[@randyschgmail]

Yes! I know nothing about playing music, I just love listening. And I'm fascinated watching the expressions and mannerisms of these amazing musicians.

[@jeanruchti8064]

Merci ! Depuis des années, je suis sous le charme de cette musique merveilleuse , tonifiante, extrêmement bien interprétée par un orchestre, le vôtre, qui est ma thérapie contre toutes les difficultés de la vie et la Joie extrême de votre interprétation précise et juste mais également pleine de vigueur et de poésie ! Toute la puissance de la vie ! Merci infiniment ! ❤❤❤

[@MarawanAbbas1]

people are so goddamn lucky to have attended this concert. Janine is just outstanding.

[@wolfiesownx4893]

How difficult it must be to bring a piece that has been played so often by so many great artists. And to play it like this… wow. Almost like it is reinvented. Am at loss for words. Janine, you are unique. And the ensemble does a breathtaking job too. Who are they?

[@1001saar]

Yes! I so want to find a recording of this performance!

[@hansverschoor6083]

The Amsterdam Simfonietta lead by Candida Thompson, Indeed a fabulous violin orchestra too.

[@jayarbe60]

Yes, this is no 'by the numbers' run through of a much-loved piece of repertoire. A very impressive interpretation.

[@3pan1]

@The Salty Constitutionalist The names you mention are out of this league.

[@gunes8835]

Her expressions, so beautiful. Love watching her play.

[@freikorpsems5867]

Einfach ergreifend... ich fühle die Botschaft, nicht hören, fühlen... KLASSE !! Virtuos. Danke für diese Reise.

[@arqmarianonuno1892]

Like its predecessors but unlike its cousin the viol, the violin has a fretless fingerboard. Its strings are hitched to tuning pegs and to a tailpiece passing over a bridge held in place by the pressure of the strings. The bridge transmits the strings’ vibrations to the violin belly, or soundboard, which is made of pine and amplifies the sound. Inside the instrument, beneath the treble foot of the bridge and wedged between the violin belly and back, which is made of maple, is the sound post, a thin stick of pine that transmits the string vibrations to the instrument’s back, contributing to the characteristic violin tone. The belly is supported from beneath by the bass bar, a narrow wood bar running lengthwise and tapering into the belly. It also contributes to the resonance of the instrument. The sidewalls, or ribs, are constructed of pine-lined maple.

This is a really great performance of this Vivaldi masterpiece. It never fails to raise my spirit.

[@medievalmusiclover]

Janine is a wonderful violinist, beautiful woman, charismatic, and kind human being. Great sound and great orchestra congratulations. Greetings from Dallas, Texas, U.S.A.

[@posttenebraslux5417]

What a glorious masterpiece by Vivaldi, brought to perfection by Janine Jansen, I am reduced to tears by the power and passion with which she shares her gift with us mere mortals! Her supporting ensemble is incredible as well! The God of glory has blessed you with supernatural gifts Janine, I hope to meet you one day and thank you!

[@Grifondorzo]

A time machine for emotions, you can clearly picture what sensation Vivaldi's soul felt about 3 centuries ago.🌱🌳🍂❄

[@maurizioravasio3914]

Una interpretazione personalissima, passionale e coinvolgente. Bravo anche il gruppo musicale

[@evavalky4082]

Kkkkkjjjjj jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

[@fabriciocitonfreire1119]

exacto!!!! personalisimaaa increible!!

[@LeonardoGarcia-op6ox]

I like becuase they were playing without chairs and they created a new dynamic with the performance.

[@gpeddino]

The third movement of Summer is pure drama and despair turned into music. Amazing.

[@bay9876]

Love they way they transfer the emotional musical notes back and for a shared artistic creation. Without the words the musicians share this complex and wonderful musical composition.

[@lauranceoneill2765]

All the musicians dressed in black and the violinists standing. I found it mesmerising to see this so familiar music being played live. All the bows whipping away simultaneously, Janine and her “wing-lady” violinist (I’m sure there’s a proper title?) facing one another exchanging glances as they blazed through the piece. Almost like rock guitarists. And at the end all bows raised triumphantly in the air. Fantastic!

[@ozcanyilmaz2180]

The "wing-lady" violinist is Candida Thompson.

[@paulcocuzzo6213]

In this format, you can really see the musicians having a conversation with each other. Especially in Winter, which is the piece that turned me onto baroque music - before I even knew it was called baroque music.

[@79MrZeus]

I love to see so much passion on this beautiful piece. Body language from all musicians is awesome, you can tell they are really enjoying the moment!

[@tanergirgin6569]

True masterpiece. One of the finest musical creations of humankind in the entire history.

[@timjanssen6846]

I listen to it frequently as a way of relieving my momentary stress. What a combo. A legendary composer and a fabulous violinist.

[@maxlever9196]

Beautifully played, great energy and passion. Thank you Miss. Jansen for your dedication to your art, and for sharing your ability with us.

[@cornguy677]

I have listened to many Vivaldi concerti and this is the most fantastic performance I recall.

[@simsimsimsim4479]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWeYoIp8griigZI thats the best

[@humannaturedictatesthedownfall]

@@simsimsimsim4479 Agree !

[@M.R.A.11811]

I did heard the Simsim Simsim option but I agree with cornguy677. The other is more technically perfect but this one was a lot more emotional, and music is emotion.

[@simsimsimsim4479]

well, emotion is in every piece what ever the version is. perfection is about taste. my view, this video is not the perfect one. thank you all for your opinions.

[@AndSendMe]

Still looking: need something with the transparency and agility of a very historical baroque band, the tone of fine antique Cremonese instruments, with interpretation an admixture of the speech-like inflections of Podger with the glorious florid 'excesses' of Dmitry Sinkovsky.

[@misha8u]

정말 혼이 실린듯한 연주여서 자주 찾아 듣습니다. 좋은 영상 보여주셔서 감사해요.

[@ceciliaontiveros9453]

La mejor interpretacion que he escuchado hasta ahora, es increible lo talentosa y apasionada que es Janine Jansen, me alegra el dia esta musica!

[@thomascampbell4730]

Such incredible concentration and focus, technical perfection and pathos, leaves one in awe. To have been there to experience it firsthand is only dwarfed by the ability to sit in my living room and play it over and over.

[@zoegarcia6385]

this is incredible the fact that she both plays the solist and conductor

[@lindasegerious9248]

That's standard for these pieces

[@OlgaZuccati]

that is/was standard for baroque and classical, being a conductor proper wasn't really a thing until the romantic era when the orchestra sizes grew considerably.

[@sergionella996]

Questi musicisti sono fortissimi davvero , ma il compositore era un genio , ti basta ascoltare la musica , chiudere gli occhi e subito l'immaginazione prende il sopravvento. Gazzelle che corrono, fiori che sbocciano , foglie e fiocchi di neve che cadono e così via , sempre emozionante ascoltare quest' opera musicale . Grazie.

[@Sithean]

Listening to this is proof that the world isn't all bad. Magnificent.

John Wild thanks

[@anaxiomenes3964]

Delectably conducted, glorifying and alluring. Jansen's style combines rarely perceived subtleness with a contrasting exhuberant density and richness of grace. She imprints every single and seemingly brief mouvement of the bow with a rythmical, inspirational and levitating effect. Her performance mesmerizes the hearing sense with sets of copious flowering divine waves soaked with a delirious anesthetic.

[@brendanahearne7986]

Not much to say other than this blew me to the moon and back. Gorgeous, beautiful, and inspiring. Isn't it an amazing thing? With all the hate in the world, with all the atrocities, with all the pain; we can still come together to somehow produce something that reminds us as humans - that all is not lost. And as long as such beauty remains - all will never be lost. And that's nice to know. There's just that little flame of hope that doesn't stop its flickering.

[@claricesilva2700]

I gotta say. Her facial expressions are extremely beautiful. The way she feels the music is beyond my comprehension.

[@mkyril]

extraordinary interpretation, dynamic, analytical, passionate without romanticism. And perfectly recorded

[@clandestine9196]

So so good, they are all amazing. An outstanding performance. Thank you ever so much ❤

[@甲必丹賴]

The best version of Four Seasons that I had ever seen.
