VIVALDI | Concerto RV 156 in G minor | Original manuscript

[@opus4rv]

How does Vivaldi make such beautiful music by keeping it so simple?

[@eunaekim9216]

Answer - he could do it because he was a musical genius!

[@xaviercanalbarcala9960]

el primer allegro...es de una vivacidad desbordante ...que don tan extraordinario que tenia Vivaldi para comunicar esa fuerza sanadora de la Vida que se destila en la naturaleza ,en la simplicidad...,a través de su música...que me deja sin aliento y con un nudo en mi garganta

[@lroa6913]

Absolutamente brillante, absolutamente hermoso, absolutamente perfecto. La belleza extrema de lo simple. Absolutamente Vivaldi.

[@TOTAL457]

In its simplicity, the first movement is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written for musical instruments. When I am in heaven, I want to listen to this piece of music all the time for eternity. What a bliss.....☺

[@opus4rv]

I've listened to many many many composers. No one does beauty in simplicity like Vivaldi. No one!

[@giuseppeieropoli5144]

il genio è rendere la bellezza con "apparente" semplicità

[@christianwouters6764]

The part writing in this concerto is flawless. And imaginative: the moment you think hey these repeated quartet notes in the bass are smw boring, V changes the texture a few seconds before the ending.

[@uneqejam]

It's the simplicity of the spirit, which in its pure honesty is lifted to the joyful Beauty of Heaven Which inspires its mind to compose....

Heaven’s music

[@uneqejam]

Just when you think you've heard enough of Vivaldi's music, something else turns up that makes you wonder in awe......There's never-ending beauty in his music, just like never-ending and Infinite is the Heaven he was inspired from - it was a life of Peace and Happiness, when treachery and infidelity had not reared yet its ugly head in Vivaldi's world, and the result is this wonderful music, one of the best testaments of what the human can do when he is in harmony with the Sacred Heart of Jesus!!!.....✝️

Oh man that third movement literally brought tears to my eyes

[@MitchBoucherComposer]

This is one of my favorite concerti by Vivaldi. It's short, but still imaginative and emotionally compelling.

[@ytzhou7376]

I feel ya!

Grande Maestro di Musica - A. Vivaldi.

[@rudneypabloluz7691]

O melhor compositor que o mundo já ouviu. A atmosfera musical que ele capturou é incomparável.

[@giuseppeieropoli5144]

[@ИгорьДымченко-к9л]

Mais um Vivaldi, aqui exibindo sua criação melódica com incrível interação das partes texturais. É total o domínio do ritmo, eles se complementam e desenvolvem-se, ao mesmo tempo que dão vida à ideia melódica principal.

[@opticalmixing23]

Poweful stuff this Vivaldi

[@liliaesperanza4436]

Muy hermoso

[@gnzanivan]

Vivaldi scriveva per le ragazze dell'Ospedale della Pietà. Erano ragazze giovani, che diventavano pian piano delle eccezionali virtuose, ma erano sempre giovani donne, quindi amavano la musica "moderna", quella della loro epoca.Vivaldi scrive per loro la migliore musica del suo tempo, spesso ritmata, talvolta dolce, talvolta triste, talvolta allegra e festosa, altre volte burrascosa. Com'è sempre stato ed è ancora l'animo di un'adolescente o di una giovane donna. E sicuramente si divertivano a suonare la musica di don Antonio.

[@uneqejam]

No, no, you're quite wrong here - Vivaldi wrote of course for those girls, but the inspiration for Him, as a Priest, was Heaven above!!! We're talking of times when people lived for religion, and breathed religion ALL the time - so, all this beauty is made while contemplating God, for the Glory of God - nothing to do here with young girls, please, do not bring us to the dung of our days, we know what happens when the inspiration is "that", please, spare us Vivaldi please!!...... ✝️

[@rbgtoffolo]

Reusing same fragment from RV 103 - Amazing!!!

[@walterkonrad3054]

Nice catch!

[@mehmetunal9731]

Best

[@David-ri2uc]

Even the ritornellos in major sound sorrowful in the first movement.

[@vladimirtvm1070]

[@jonathanpearl5379]

I heard this first on a Klavier LP with Raymond Leppard conducting and on harpsichord.

[@davedonnie6425]

wait, so g minor has 2 flats right? i only see 1 in the key signature, and if my eyes can see correctly, the e flats are accidentals, why do that?

[@DelVivaldi]

Church keys. G minor has two flats in the natural minor scale, which comes from the Aeolian mode. If I'm not mistken G minor with one flat follows the Dorian mode. So this notation is actually a relic of the ancient church modes.

[@DelVivaldi]

0:22 those are natural e's

[@tomascostero9962]

1:42

[@giuseppeieropoli5144]

accanto a "del Vivaldi" c'è un '29...1729?

[@math9172]

Rare enough so that I do feel obligated to point it out, this time I do not really agree on your choice of performance. (and I really do want to point out that every single other interpretation you've chosen for other Vivaldi pieces I've listened to on your channel has been truely divine, so anyone don't take badly what follows, because it is only expressed as constructive criticism). The first movement to me feels much melodic and 'singing', and in that interpretation the accentuated but short notes really cut said melodic line. Moreover the un-fullness of the notes really blurs the syncopated rythm which makes it less noticeable and impactful, despite being (IMO) the main defining feature of this first movement. Moreover that "spikyness" (sorry don't really know how to express it otherwise, english isn't the language in which I learnt music) is very unchanging and constant in the entire movement, which paradoxically makes it a bit too dull and flat. In some others interpretations the legato longing melodic line is contrasted with the more stacatto parts, and it's more interesting IMO. The second movement I have nothing to complain about, beautiful interpretation. As for the third and final movement, I think the interpretation is beautiful, but the speed is ever so slightly too fast and it's a bit of a shame that the canon-like (or fugue-like) form of the main theme at the beginning is a bit hard to hear, especially the third and fourth entrance of the main theme are completely blurred by the speed and the lack of sound from them. But honestly some of those critcism are nitpicks and come very well come down to personal taste, and the piece is still beautiful as it is here.
