I had the privilege of being there that night. La Folia was truly amazing...

[@gelabrainvideo]

I'm so sorry but the correct name is "Follia" with to "L". The menaning is correct Madness (Follia).

[@aidanmccormack5443]

The older recording of Sorrell’s La Folia is what introduced me to Apollo’s Fire. Awesome!!

[@maartenvandijk8478]

Me too!

[@dcn_22]

Jeanette: "Let's put our music sheet aside for this 'Madness'!" 😊🙌🏽

[@johnwirenius8152]

I saw them at Caramoor, and was part of the standing ovation. They’re an amazing ensemble, and Jeanette Sorrell’s arrangement of “La Folia” Is my absolute favorite. (I love all the byplay among the members, but broke up laughing when Olivier took a knee at 5:28.)

[@SerafinDrake]

Can't say I was expecting that, myself, but it certainly seemed to go with the rest of the performance. By the way, I am incredibly jealous that you got to see the ensemble perform it in person. I'm stuck in Indiana, and even when there's not a pandemic going on, I don't exactly get to travel much. I have only been to one Apollo's Fire performance, and that was in 1996, when I was an undergraduate and happened to be living in the Cleveland area, so a former companion of mine took me to hear them perform Handel's Messiah. That was a long time ago. I'm hoping to make it to at least one more live performance in my lifetime. Bonus points if Olivier Brault happens to be with them that night (he seems to be busy with other projects as well, these days).

[@WilliamFord972]

Olivier has more swagger than I’ll ever have.

[@SerafinDrake]

And he has the talent to back it up, which is delightful.

[@stefaniaferretti1734]

È una meraviglia! Ho messo questo pezzo come suoneria del mio cell perché dal primo momento in cui l'ho ascoltato me ne sono innamorata. Vivaldi è il mio compositore prediletto e lo conosco poco però oggi lo amo, ieri non sapevo nemmeno chi fosse. Quando rinascero studierò musica, violino perché......non so esprimerlo a parole cosa provo quando ascolto queste note.......mi sento in paradiso, fuori da Matrix, vicina a Dio.

[@Rosangela161]

Fantastic ! Vivaldi would be very happy with you. The entire cast is masterful. A fascinating performance. Applause and congratulations. Thank you.

[@chlopen1]

I call this heavy metal!

[@gordonmartin11]

Excellent interpretation. The intelligence of the score and the sound that goes with it.

[@rotesan]

OMG and OMG THIS INTERPRETATION IS UNIQUE !

[@Em-bv7oo]

Brilliant, love their humour, especially the tall gent on the left :)

[@pertbuhre6022]

This is great! I have played this so many times, and this feeling and arrangement is spot on! Love the big band.

[@dvstnh]

Amazing performance by Apollo’s Fire, as always

[@silvanobinotti3713]

E sempre tra la mie piu belle musiche ,la follia di vivaldi .

[@richardl1187]

What a marvellous performance with such great interactions among the players and a true pleasure to watch. I could watch it repeatedly without tiring.

[@elizelizamore568]

Apollo's Fire and Jeanette Sorrel takes quality an talent just that level up!!! Really so special!!! My kind of Baroque Bravo !!!!

[@SuzaneFreire7]

Alguém mais fica com vontade de dançar ao som de La Folia? Pois bem, fico em êxtase com a maestria de Sorrell e do melhor violinista barroco Olivier Brault, nessa belíssima interpretação. ❤

[@woody000007]

Magnifique ! La Folia la plus folle de l'histoire de la musique ! Je viens de découvrir ce merveilleux ensemble. C'est superbe !

[@johnvaness8445]

Fabulous performance! I have enjoyed the previous recording for several years. This performance Excels! Thank you all so much.

[@DI-yx4it]

Mind-blowing. I challenge anyone to find a better musical performance on the internet. Bravo 👏👏👏

[@gavinthegamer7967]

I love the expression and passion the soloist have ❤

[@raquelazocarescamilla2388]

Excelencia, virtuosismo, energía sublime. Jeannette Sorrell, una maga, y los violinistas Olivier Brault y Joanna Novom, un espectáculo. Y más aún el talento de René Shiffer, cello continuo, y el resto de los músicos. Gracias por este regalo.

[@AlexandraaFeodorovna]

Wonderful, it always gives me chills! Splendid.

[@melinastas1844]

[@tomleroi636]

Brilliant.

[@brettmiller9066]

Just--WOW--is the only way to describe it...

[@yossyxo]

I love La Folia

[@alejandromendoza3006]

Es un rock clásico.. increíble...

[@spacebanana5000]

Is it just me, or did the Baroque composers recycle this theme between themselves? It's lovely. Excellent performance.

[@Bearded_Tattooed_Guy]

Every composer worth his salt has a version of this, it seems. Well, nearly everybody. And not only Baroque composers, but really nearly everybody. Check out this channel kzbin.info/door/JgELg9ufHzHi4CNK1GJdqQ and his blog lelutindecouves.blogspot.com/2010/09/les-folies-despagne-1.html

[@jillelliott8175]

Of course they did just like 12 bar blues is recycled now

[@maximiliangerboc]

Thanks for posting these! Wonderful entertainment and a much needed burst of energy while stuck in the house!

[@bobroberts6155]

Every thing about this performance is so superb and joyous that I can overlook the mispronunciation of renaissance as an American foible.

[@alban1917]

Marvellous luminous ! congratulations to apollo's fire orchestra

[@piobove483]

Beautiful version, greetings from Venice

[@thomaswagner1442]

Aussergewöhnlich schöne Interpretation 😊

[@taharfares2646]

Majestueux Vivaldi hard

[@SerafinDrake]

A friend of mine who was a conservatory student at the university I went to for my bachelor's says this particular piece of Vivaldi's is incredibly difficult, especially if you happen to play viola or violin. Fun, but difficult.

[@firsttankcrews]

Great fun as ever = thanks for sharing. Suggest that someone looks at the accompanying list of artists as I cant see Julie Andrijeski amongst the violins but Jennifer Roig-Francoli is certainly in the line-up

[@Flores_Galante]

❤🎉

[@raulmartinez-qt2id]

La interpretación de la Folía de Apollo´s Fire es, sencillamente, soberbia.

[@Alex_Piter]

Amazing music! Come to us in Russia, in St. Petersburg!

[@ferdinandonason9704]

Sono Veneziano...

[@kasiawozniak1114]

[@draganaborjaszikic9373]

C'est tellement "follement" beau, pourquoi vous ne venez pas vous produire en France? Ici, le mieux ce que j'ai trouvé c'est justement "deux violons et violoncelle" à la Maison de radio début juin, mais là plusieurs violons, la guitare, on est emporté

[@jillelliott8175]

Heard Corelli's La Folia yesterday... More subdued IMHO

[@polyglot8]

La Folia - accent on "o" not on "i". BTW, Brault comes across as a bit pompous, even campy; but I saw him interviewed on Quebec T.V. and he seems a pretty nice and also thoughtful guy, paying tribute to his teacher, for example.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

Pompous? Campy? I object! Theatrical to the last inch, yes. But he wouldn't mind that! He and Rene are compulsively watchable, in an orchestra of interesting personalities.

[@judycook4314]

@@rosemaryallen2128 I agree! He’s French, after all and expresses his emotion! And Rene is fun to watch also! He seems to have an ongoing joke with the violist.

[@rosemaryallen2128]

Do French Canadians differ at all from the native brand, I wonder? At any rate, Olivier is sadly missed from recent Apollo's Fire videos...

[@andreamay437]

I saw two really old people dancing to this piece, including a guy who looks as if he ought to be at the Patriots game, and a cleaning lady. It was as if a patriot was dancing with a maid

[@antoniocancelliere7056]

Bravissimi. Ma si scrive la follia non la folia.l

[@lucasamtab]

The Italian job

[@gelabrainvideo]

I'm so sorry but the correct name is "Follia" with two "L". The menaning is correct Madness (Follia). The performance was amazing, congratulations.
