Vivaldi: Concerto Grosso in D minor - Stokowski Transcription - Bamert / BBC Philharmonic

[@Nancy-l7i]

Such a HUGE orchestra 😊 ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@fuadjada4155]

When I think of Stokowski, I think of Bach transcriptions. Vivaldi! This is a RARE gem! 💎

[@Nancy-l7i]

Viva Vivaldi! Viva Stokowski!

[@JanetESmith-er8sk]

Oh Lord. That Stokowski sound. There is nothing like it!!! Ormandy continued it but it was Stokowski that originated the magnificent full-bloom transcriptions we are privileged to hear today. I love 💕 that man!!!!!!!

[@Jemoh66]

Yes. Unmistakable sound. I just love what he did with baroque music. And the direction on this one out does Stokowski’s own directing.

[@FriendlyCroock]

Nope, not true Lots of conductors from back then used to arrange music differently In fact believe it or not this is what "conductor" used to mean. It all started with felix mendelssohn Charles O'Connell did it too. Henry Wood is another one. George Enescu did an amazing arrangement on bach's "et expecto" And the list goes on. Here's Leonard Bernstein giving his opinion on this type of conducting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5KmeaSAoqxqfrM

The elevated Bass section!

[@RedCloudLove]

My god, this is addicting and beautiful. One of my favourite Vivaldi pieces. Thanks for sharing.

[@lynnkendall4060]

This is the music I have been craving, played by a great orchestra and conducted by a master.

[@fuadjada4155]

Vivaldi ❤❤❤❤❤ Stokowski ❤❤❤❤❤

[@redbrian3655]

This is fantastic!!! The first Stokowski transcription I heard as a child was Bach's Little G Minor. Since then, I have always loved to hear transcriptions by visionary people who realize that this music can and should be interpreted as many ways as possible. Even when I compose, I consider it an honor when someone transcribes my ow work. Music is alive. Did Stokowski ever arrange Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in F, BWV 540? Thanks again. BRIAN

Cosmique !

[@rykelkharg2903]

I find it interesting that Bach is now regarded as the greatest of the baroque composers (which I agree with), however Bach held Vivaldi in very high regard and it is recorded that he thought Vivaldi was the greatest composer in the world (i.e. at that time). Suggesting that Bach was familiar with some of Vivaldi's most sublime masterpieces, like this work.

[@RobertFBeers]

Indeed, Bach even did his own transcriptions of Vivaldi.

[@FuadJada-fu5mc]

​​@@RobertFBeersI strongly agree 👍👍 especially Bach's transcription of Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins

My goodness! 🌹

I have remained silent, blind and deaf after hearing this interpretation. My senses are only for her after meeting her

[@IbisSanchezSerrano]

Gorgeous! I find it closer to Vivaldi´s spirit--that is sensitive, colorful, melancholic, poetic--than Bach's arrangement of the same concerto for organ! Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance!

[@0204LAURENT]

Merci ! Je découvre !!

[@FriendlyCroock]

I totally agree. Wonderful comment. It's something rare to here baroque on major symphony orchestras these days. And I feel sorry about that.

[@mrvivaldi13410]

Beautiful!

Back again for this wonderful Treat. Thanks.

Hermoso,,,esta es una de las composiciones mas lindas de vivaldi,,,,,gracias por compartirlo!!!!!!

[@carlocroccolo771]

Adam28xx THANK YOU for this great download ... the concert you recorded is very well known but never understood and therefore badly performed ... Vivaldi (the red priest) wrote this track which is not "Baroque" but. I would dare say "Romantic" ... !!! Then Stokoski's transcript in "major" is brilliant and beautiful ::: !!! Makes clear the melodic points of the concert .... !!! Especially in the third movement with the indisputably beautiful transcription for Oboe and Flute ... !!! But then he is in "major " ?????? I do not know I'm not a "competent" or an "expert" but I have ears and this is one of the best performances of this concert I've heard ... . !!!! Thanks again Adam28xx .... !!!!!

[@adam28xx]

I'm pleased that you like this transcription. Stokowski made about 200 arrangements of various works but most of them are not published. Many of them are wonderful and I too like this big orchestral version of a baroque concerto. This BBC orchestra has some very fine woodwind players, so it is nice to hear their solos beautifully played.

[@carlocroccolo771]

Dear Adam28xx I know Stokowski and his accurate transcriptions and his brilliant arrangements among which I love the "touch and escape in D minor" (which I think you have) thank you for having responded to me, I'm just a little music amateur (in particular that of Bach, Vivaldi, Corelli Mozart and modern jazz Charlie Parker, Chet Baker, Dizzy Gillespie ....) Thanks again .... !!!!!!

[@oucutie1]

Carlo Croccolo Yes you have ears and your ears 'heard' Stokowski. You heard the Stokowski 'sound . There's nothing like it! WELCOME!

[@oucutie1]

After listening to a Stokowski transcription my heart just pounds. Especially true after the Passacaglia! Is it Bach? Is it Stokowski? Is it the combination of Bach-Stokowski? I don't know but I do know whatever it is.....it works!!!!!

[@felixheiss]

Amazing piece in a sumptuous arrangement . The best version I have heard is by The Musical Arts Symphony Orchestra conducted by Leonard Sorkin which is absolutely stunning . Unfortunately it is not on KZbin as yet .

[@adam28xx]

I've since discovered the Leonard Sorkin LP and he uses a strings-only arrangement made by one Sam Franko and played by a small chamber ensemble. Stokowski also performed the Franko arrangement, though in his case he used the entire Philadelphia Orchestra strings sections. Here it is ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHeaeK2OftV1ick

How is it that humans have been so incredibly creative yet most of us are driven by selfishness, greed and shear stupidity.

[@mydogskips2]

Is that a rhetorical question stated without a question mark? If it isn't, I will answer that as humans, if we are driven by selfishness, greed, (and sheer stupidity), it is as a consequence of our need for survival in an indifferent if not outright hostile and cruel world, one ruled by uncertainty, doubt, insecurity, fear, and scarcity. We live as mere mortals a fragile and fledgling existence designed and destined to extinguish us. And I might also add that as humans, most of us aren't so incredibly creative as to find a way to subjugate those baser instincts, let alone create magnificent works of art that would proffer/profit of them.

[@jeromejerome9395]

Original sin

[@jonahansen]

Short answer - not everyone is like that. Some are able to rise above them.

[@rykelkharg2903]

Homo sapiens is a flawed species, and over the fulness of time it is destined to self-destruct. Creative genius coupled with unbridled aggressiveness and stupidity. The flaw lies within the human brain ... the primitive reptilian (fight and flight) part operating independently of the newer cognitive part (the source of all intellectual and creative impulses). A dichotomy in which the two types of brain have quite different objectives and modes of operation. The development of the human brain has occurred very rapidly in evolutionary terms -- far too rapidly for the necessary inter-connections required for sustainable growth and development, and species survival, to be made.

I think the original version is better, but thank you anyway for the interesting upload 😊

[@FriendlyCroock]

I don't even know the original and I'm pretty sure that this version is the better one.

[@davidgonzalez-herrera2980]

FriendlyCrooc my friend, you have no idea. I will link the video shortly I miss the harpsichord and the true orchestration. I literally had to stop listening because so much of the Venetian soul is missing Sometimes people change their tuning to unequal temperament/just intonation and the ambiance is different because the ratios of number of hertz cycles per second is different. Pure fifths and other intervals. They are true, unlike equal temperament which divides the octave into 12: giving birth to jazz (modulations)

[@davidgonzalez-herrera2980]

Jazz is cool to though. I am only explaining the different tuning system made a difference. Edit: I always enjoy different orchestrations. Both are interesting. I do like the original better, but thats me. The slow movement at the end with the flutes was interesting.

[@ALP839]

@@davidgonzalez-herrera2980 There are always people who have to segregate criticism on whatever they get confronted with. Unable to just enjoy things, they have to underline their own importance even in front of a mirror... But be sure, buddy, your opinion is not really of any importance.

[@dick12235]

Vivaldi was the greatest priest of all time. He Composed much wonderful music such as this. The others contributed very little of anything of value. Thanks.

[@stefanvanuhm1928]

You're right. Fantstic composer...

[@MasaNaka-sd5kz]

Is this really recorded on 1934?

[@adam28xx]

Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra did record his own arrangement of this work in 1934 but this BBC Philharmonic recording was made in the year 2000. Someone here has uploaded Stokowski's old original 1934 78s, as per this link ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4TPgqyditxpnJI
