the audio quality of this channel is just phenomenal, far exceeds most of studio albums

[@davidepollak3]

I agree

[@Pacman1ac]

Don't forget that everything is compressed in KZbin (sound and images). Nothing will replace a good studio recording, but nevertheless, it's always good for any channel to upload content in "HD".

[@Nik0lay11]

And video as well)

[@leoyu1070]

Many of Voice of Music's music are actually 24-bit, so ya

[@beyblade618]

The main violinist is playing with no notes in front of her. That's the level of confidence one should strive to achieve. Pure Brilliance.

[@gracie99999]

I didn’t notice this, that’s awesome

[@moooobkityy]

That's totally normal for us violinists.

[@souldancersbyjennifer]

But sometimes when you're playing at that speed, you really have to just memorize everything because there's no time to read notes. That and the number of times she must have practiced.

[@hairylegs1319]

Musicians usually use muscle memory to memorize their tracks, it usually ends up making it easier for us that way.

[@lirich0]

I always see this take in the comments under mainstream popular classic music videos, and it honestly unreasonably irks me. Often, even beginner musicians are expected to memorize their pieces for performances. Go to any piano recital or violin performance and you will recognize this. It is completely normal, just like how you are supposed to drive a car or a plane without having the manual in front of you at all times.

[@malekstudios6310]

the audio quality is just unmatched, hearing the breath of the musicians adds a whole human layer to it that just touches my soul.

[@oopsidian]

I was wondering about the sound between the notes, so it is really her breath.

@@Kooooooooooootz That's the whole part... you can't just get rid of someone breathing just like that. Noise gates and dynamic compression could be used but it would make the reverberations and dynamic range suffer horribly. Classical pieces are performed by humans, that's the whole part of listening to the piece, it's like you are there. As for discounting the skilled people who set up the Decca tree for this and high quality equipment for you and for FREE none the less, I think you should give them more credit...

It is said, that Vivaldi composed more than 400 concerts and 40 operas and that finally, he died poor and his music was nearly forgotten. A lot of years later, millions of people all over the world can enjoy his beautiful music thanks in part to videos like this. Thanks to contritibute to keep his music alive.

[@cg8397]

Being poor was part of Vivaldi's job description, he was a Catholic priest after all. But his music was neglected after his death only because the preferences of the audience had changed (Baroque period had ended, Classical had begun).
