Classical Mandolin: Mandolin Concerto in C Major, RV 425, by Vivaldi

This concerto was recorded on March 2, 2022.
Vivaldi's Mandolin Concerto was written in 1725, the same year as his famous Four Seasons. Although originally written for mandolin, it is also commonly played on both piano and guitar. I love the energy of the first and the last movements; the middle movement is a beautiful contrast.
Special Thanks to Mr. Lance Bastian (piano) and Mr. Ted Lucktenberg (mic)

Excelente interpretación de esta hermosa pieza musical. Felicitaciones desde Colombia. ❤

Excellent!! Congratulatuions!! Vivaldi is one of my favorite musicians too!!!

[@glendryhurst8234]

Wow, it is wonderful to see and hear a beautiful young lady playing such beautiful Vivaldi music so well. I have that music on CD and I often played it in my car. Also, I saw it played live in a concert by the Funchal, Madeira, Portugal orchestra at The Moot Hall on a visit to Maldon, Essex, UK a few years ago.

[@quigley4440]

Bravo young lady. A treat for us lovers of the mandolin.

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Thank you! It is really special to play pieces of music written especially for mandolin!

[@amaquonsippi]

Vivaldi is my fave, Bill Monroe and Davd Grisman and Jacob du Bandolim are also up there. Ive been playing mandolin since 1976 and you are fierce. Thank you and everyone who helps you.

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

Check out Brazilian music, it's about as common there as in bluegrass! Novos Baianos has some really great tunes with mando (bandolim) and charango (another small-bodied double course stringed instrument) played together

[@agungwidinugroho554]

Wow this is amazing

[@SweetMandolinbyLG]

Bravísimo !!! This was an awesome performance. Beautiful from start to end. I also love this masterpiece .

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidbaxter4910]

Good, very good.

[@johnmurdoch8534]

playing that initial G to G octave on the A string is one of those things that should have come as common sense but watching this helped that for sure. And doing all this from memory, very impressive.. Thank you, wonderful performance, wonderful mandolin!

[@mandolinprincess3382]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@seanmatthewmills]

Wonderful performance! What a pleasure it is to hear the whole concerto played through with such excellent accompaniment. Thank you so much!

Very good 👏👏👏👍

[@tunkunrunk]

this is my favorite

[@alexgabriel5423]

Wonderful Picking! Like the Flutter of a Wing!...( a humble suggestion to the Princess:::sometimes see & listen to Greek Bouzouki Music. The Bouzouki is tuned one tone below a guitar, the wound strings are paired with octave strings, the other two pairs are in unison. The resonator is deep and is coated with gilt silver! Mother of pearl decorations...it has 26 frets sometimes...the tuning is low to high C, F, A, D☆)

[@johnmurdoch8534]

I've taken stabs at this on the irish bouzouki and while it does sound great, the stretch of the fingers makes it hard to hit those octaves...at least for me though i'm sure a skilled player could likely give it a go.

[@mandolinprincess3382]

That sounds really interesting! Thank you for the suggestion!

[@Baroquenstrings_]

Nicely played.

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Thank you!

[@MikhailoMikhailoMikhailo]

Ты молодец! Ты прекрасна!

[@Xs02]

Lindo concerto para Mandolin...um instrumento antigo.👍⚘️👀📚

[@mandolinprincess3382]

I love this Concerto too, thank you!

[@mississippijohnfahey7175]

Bout as ancient as the guitar from what I've gathered 😅 it is a nice performance though!

[@paulmcdonagh1893]

It is all about timing. Think of the sea waves rolling in when you play this...

[@mandolinprincess3382]

🌊I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@inLegacy]

third mvt. its just fire 🔥 xD🎸

[@creeks-and-peaks]

Amazing!

[@davidsawyer988]

[@Drachirryz]

If the playback is slowed, this video provides a nice tutorial on where to place your fingers when learning this tune.

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Thank you! I'm so glad it can be a help!

[@robsongurgel8850]

[@davidmolloy126]

The slower part in the middle was a bit sleepy. But I love your work.

[@MediSami]

❤👏❤👏❤🍀🌹🍀❤👏❤👏❤

[@alexgabriel5423]

[ about Bouzouk exploration if the Princess is curious:: over 40 modes, not played from score but memorized; the modes comprise mideast modes even temperament though...Bouzouki is in flat picking, many one string scales, and it is faaassst]

[@minutemaid123]

What style mandolin is yours? Is it a German, Baroque, Roman, Vinaccia or something else? Thank you

[@mandolinprincess3382]

This mandolin is a Lucia, made by Carlo Mazzaccara from Italy. He has a great website where you can see more about the way he combines modern technology with master workmanship. www.oldmandolin.com/

[@mandolinprincess3382]

He sells on mandolin cafe classifieds if you are interested in seeing more of his mandolins.

[@odyssey21thcentury41]

Truly a future Wanda Landowska of the Mandolin. I really like this channel but a bit more of talking (even just little) could nice too 😉

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I'll have to work on my scared-to-talk-in-front-of-camera phobia! I will definitely learn more about Wanda Landowska.

[@masterjunky863]

How many yeats have you been playing?

[@mandolinprincess3382]

At the time of this recording, it was about 4 years on mandolin (with several years on violin first)

[@laetitiabarbera]

Shall we play together?

[@hickenc2187]

방금 들었던 바하보다 훨씬 낫군요. 뭔가 살아나는 느낌이 듭니다. 늦겨울에 들으면 딱일 것 같은데....

[@mandolinprincess3382]

Thank you!

[@johnvoyce]

Great but look at the fingers on her left hand. She was made to play the mandolin.

[@brookwelborn]

The piano needs to be tuned!
