In this video, watch a performance of Vivaldi's Sonata in D Minor, op. 1, no. 12 “La Follia”, as performed by Tafelmusik.
Antonio Vivaldi's first publication, Opus 1, was printed in 1705, not only in Venice, but also in Amsterdam and Paris, and quickly established Vivaldi's reputation as both a virtuoso violinist and as an exciting new composer throughout Europe. Consisting of twelve trio sonatas for two violins and continuo, the most popular sonata was the set of 20 variations on the "follia", a bass line of Spanish origin popular with baroque composers throughout Europe. Corelli had set a high standard for "follia" variations in his famous set for solo violin and continuo, published five years earlier in Rome. Vivaldi added a second violin and succeeded in matching Corelli in both virtuosity and expression.
This performance was originally recorded as part of Tafelmusik's concert On the Road: conceived of as a virtual "road trip", and featuring music from the theatres of London and the courts of Germany, to the refined elegance of Paris, and the shimmering beauty of Venice.
Featuring:
Elisa Citterio and Cristina Zacharias, violin
Keiran Campbell, cello
Charlotte Nediger, harpsichord
Lucas Harris, lute
