Vivaldi: Violin Concerto in A Minor RV 356 Op. 3 No 6, full. Augusta McKay Lodge, Voices of Music 8K

[@pollysmock4676]

This piece was playing when my mother died, making the experience of her passing quite heavenly, really. I will always remember it.

[@cowboyblacksmith]

It must be such a powerful feeling to be able to play Vivaldi so masterfully. It amazes me that every single finger movement and placement, and pressure on the bow is neatly tucked away in the brain ready to come alive anytime.

[@ruthmel2520]

I’m totally agree with your comment! ❤

[@nickyork8901]

The music of the red priest, played by a beautiful redhead on a matching violin...and what a moving performance, especially the gorgeous slow movement!

[@botanozsan7843]

For me this concerto is one of the most underrated music of all times. The interpretation is also amazing!

[@Janaceks_Dad]

Also, this is a fantastic example of perfect recording engineering techniques captured in what sounds like an acoustically perfect venue...for once, the microphones are not placed too close to the players, thus eliminating that awful "scratchy" sound found in so many recordings of stringed instruments...

[@berpmorph2946]

You know nothing about sound engineering

[@landoflittlerain]

Augusta's tone and articulation are so smooth!

[@johnmoon8201]

This is one of the BEST RV 356 as Baroque Version I have ever seen. Thank you very much!

[@VoicesofMusic]

You are very welcome.

[@mariapiazza-od8ib]

Sorry Sir, this one with a full fledged AUGUSTA is hands-down THE BEST since , and I consider it very difficult to surpass 😮😮😮

[@aryabastani]

This piece by Vivaldi is the definition of heaven for me; each time I hear it, tears of joy stream uncontrollably down my face. Pure joy.

[@gsm2424]

Perfect...Finally someone that doesn't CUT the first before last note with the last on every fast movement. So sick of that mannerism. EXCELLENT PLAYING!

[@nobodyplaylists]

I can't stop listening to this performance! I love it! ❤

[@BryanHo]

This brings back memories, the first "real piece" I learned when I was younger and always have a soft spot for it. Beautifully performed as usual.

[@oliverchesser1679]

if you do say so yourself....

[@anishsenthil8976]

This is the best recording of this concerto on KZbin. It shows every little part of the music; every staccato, dynamic, and bowing. All of this comes with the soloist's incredible style and emotion. I am a middle schooler playing the first movement of this for a solo completion. This helps so much! Let's hope I get the best rating! Thanks

[@augustamckaylodge4210]

I’m so glad this video helped with your preparation. Best of luck to you in the competition! Most important is to have fun and enjoy the music. You’ll rock it! Augusta

[@anishsenthil8976]

Thank you soo much! I hope I will be as good as you someday. Thanks again for your reply!

[@ruthmel2520]

I don’t have Words this Is simply the best! I❤it!

[@goongchen6780]

Augusta's performance is stunning!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Agree!

[@tcharles2466]

I'm beginning to run out of superlatives when commenting on any performance by VOM - they are all clearly 'soloists' in their own right! However, whenever they perform with outstanding individual soloists - either instrumental, voice or choral - they always manage to raise their music-making to an even higher level! Thank you, Hanneke van Proosdij !

[@rykelkharg2903]

It's good to see Voices of Music performing so many of the Vivaldi concertos for string ensembles. The instrumentalists always impress, the performances always of high quality, the acoustics always perfect.

[@AnjaHuebel1]

I'm listening with headphones and I feel like I'm right there beside one of the instrumentalists!

[@malcolmedwards8665]

I've never heard the first movement played with such verve. The whole concerto is beautfifully done.

[@Kemal_KARAYILAN]

Antonio Vivaldi was a Genius! 🎶🎼🎻 This is amazing music

[@mariapiazza-od8ib]

Please tell me of another concert so enjoyable , so optimistic , so energetic, so .. PERFECT ! And all this, thanks to VOICES OF MUSIC, to McKay Lodge ( excellent ) , and off course to Vivaldi who is the musical genius of joy and happiness 😮 🎉🎉🎉

[@francescovitellaro4163]

Pure ecstasy... masterful recording ✨

[@davidherman29]

This violinist has to be the best violinist I have ever listened to, she is incredible. Love love this piece thank you guys so much for your music ❤️💙❤️

[@Chompchompyerded]

Thank you VoM for another top drawer performance! I have neither the funds nor the physical ability to come see you live, but these offerings make a strong next best thing, and when you release a new video, it makes my week, and sometimes even my month. When you're home bound due to disability and your biggest interest is music with an emphasis on historically informed performances, this comes as a huge treat! I was working toward a BMus and studying historically informed performance with Nic McEgan in the year when I became paralyzed as the result of being hit by a drunk driver. For that reason, I watch these with a bit more knowledge than the casual viewer, and appreciate the vast number of hours it takes first to become that good, and second, to put together a concert. Practicing to become that good really requires full dedication to your instrument and the art.. That is probably in part what gives me my affinity for the work you're doing. It's the sheer quality of your work which gives me my love of it. If I lived near where you perform, I'd have to resort to 24 hour a day panhandling so I could get tickets to all your performances. It would be that serious an addiction.

[@trojaantje]

Vivaldi and Voices of Music= GOAT

[@billviolino]

Such a lovely performance, this piece proves a nice piece can be played by either a professional musician or a violin beginner

[@VoicesofMusic]

Well said!

[@anaxiomenes3964]

Quadraphonic sound system in my phone? Not yet. Highy skilled and capable sound staff at Voices of Music are making fast progress to making the virtual feat doable. Kudos to these folks.

[@neilfordan]

Vivaldi could be one of the best Metal composer in modern times lol

[@belemtoday]

Hell yeah

[@thiensoc6414]

Right 😊

[@DerekVanDuyn]

True very true

[@zunga]

Feels and looks like Augusta is on the stage of a heavy metal concert in the first part. Amazing!

[@Chompchompyerded]

Wow! Best performance I've ever heard of this, and I've heard a lot of them. These days we have a lot of Baroque bands to choose from, but in my humble opinion, VoM speaks the Baroque language as good or better than any of them. If I lived in the bay area, I'd sell my body until I had enough money to buy season tickets. These folks are just top drawer. No question about it. I am just everlastingly glad that they share some of their work here on KZbin. I would not have an opportunity to listen to them were it not for this.

[@miadelmoro2558]

I played this concerto when I was about 13 years old, I think every single violin student has practiced Vivaldi A Minor, RV 356, OP 3,Nr. 6...this was the best version I can think of! Generally a little faster than I'm used to. Sounds beautiful!!!! My father is a pianist and always accompanied me when I practiced. High talent or not. With a father obsessed with classical music, practicing the violin becomes torture. Gonna buy myself an electric violin tomorrow..so excited 😆

[@Janaceks_Dad]

Just discovered this group...they are beyond brilliant!!

[@topkho]

I agree, they are just wonderful

[@philosteward]

i don’t care how much praise vivaldi receives, he is always underrated for me

[@vivailpatriarcato2076]

Finally, somebody who's not a student and plays this piece wonderfully.

[@-ekusas-]

The fast playing makes this piece more exciting. I used to hear and play it at a slower tempo.

[@aakwok9240]

It’s INterEstInG that how this piece is so underrated

[@VoicesofMusic]

Right?

[@timsamong]

Underrated? Violin beginners might disagree.

[@Nettkin]

Nothing but perfection from this fabulous group of performers!

[@veve3948]

haha ! Vivaldi au petit déjeuner , quelle joie ! Merci .. C'était parfait comme d'habitude !

[@VoicesofMusic]

Merci!

[@Lunartsuki]

This concerto s solos is soo beautiful, principally the 1st allegro s solos, the largo remembers me a little of bach (some parts of the largo) the presto is brilliant for me, the solos... I love Vivaldi!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Also the opening ritornello has a similar profile to the Bach A Minor concerto....

[@tamerlano]

And that's how it's done, folks...the concerto we Suzuki babies know and love played stunningly .

[@VoicesofMusic]

:)

[@maozedong115]

I remember playing this. Although it was painful, it was one of the most stunning pieces I've played.

This concert never tires especially if performed in this way!

[@mariapiazza-od8ib]

Dear AUGUSTA what a wonderful BARIOLAGE all over , with such a passion 🎉🎉🎉 And 2nd Movement is a MOMENT IN TIME 😮😮😮

[@gracefulolivetree4218]

Ahhh this reminds me of my good old Suzuki days and for one recital there were like five students who learned the piece and my teacher put together a group where we all played a movement of this piece (either the first or third movement, it's been awhile) and each time there was a solo, everyone would drop out to highlight one player. Core memories

[@zene1750]

That trill at 1:43 is amazing!

[@guillaume8483]

... Not to mention the amazing diminutions in the 2nd movement ! Vivaldi would be happy to see them play I'm sure !

[@aryabastani]

Agree. It gets me every time. So subtle and masterful.

[@terezabarcarolo9592]

[@thomastreppenhauer4276]

Well done, I really appreciate your interpretation of the piece! Passages with short and those with longer notes are really distinct, the changes contribute to liveliness of the piece and the interpretation!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you very much!

[@fabiobortolini1825]

Bravissimi! Una delizia per le mie orecchie!

[@VictorCerezoFernandez]

Acabo de oír el concierto para violín n1 de Paganini. Ahora escucho este L'estate el verano de Vivaldi. Mi primer concierto fue precisamente las Cuatro Estaciones de Vivaldi. Y vuelvo a él una y otra vez. Es Vivaldi mi autor más querido. Su música es alegre y fácil de oír.

[@testbenchdude]

The first movement of this was one of my first real recital pieces in my early teens. Of course, I never played it anywhere near as well as Mrs. McKay Lodge, but I recall really liking playing it, it was such a fun piece. Bravo!Side note (heh): Is that a wedding ring with a black gem? That's cool.

[@cristianisraelramirezaguil4801]

i played that too when i was 10 years old,i didint do the solo,but it was satisfying doing the song with others and the solist,such a good experience!

[@JimNicholls]

A terrific performance. Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@stinger4712]

Brilliant rendition... Beautiful musicians. 💛💚💙💜🤎♥️♥️♥️

[@lordchameleon2650]

this is such a beautiful music and interpretation that I am not able to grasp how this happened. I listened to this piece many many times over the years but never heard such a magical playing and orchestra (even with masks on lol). Especially the Largo part is my favorite. In my opinion this has such an encaptivating atmosphere that not any other famous composer has ever achieved.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thanks, LC!

[@joaoalbertodosanjosgomes1536]

Amen.

[@yusudong]

Vivaldi's music is a blessing to me.

[@anaxiomenes3964]

4:55-- could be performed a tad slower. Vivaldi's 'Farewell Concertos': the rythmic structure here folds the soul and elevates it to heighness divine.

[@ligetisspaghetti5763]

i liked it

[@VoicesofMusic]

The A minor concerto is not a "Farewell concerto," it is a relatively early work, published in Amsterdam in 1711--you could call it a "stepping out" concerto. The term "Farewell concerto" originated as a modern marketing device for a late manuscript set--a full thirty years later than this work--for Vinciguerra VI, Count of Collalto; however, as other musicologists have noted, there is nothing elegiac in these later works and Vivaldi had no intention of winding up his career.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Another reason that the "Farewell" is a misnomer is that some of the works in this late manuscript were written much earlier, and Vivaldi simply resold them. For example, the C Major concerto RV 186 is written on a rare Bohemian paper that can be dated to 1730-1731, ten years earlier, and that earlier version is the one that Vivaldi himself kept as his reference work in the Turin collection.

[@anaxiomenes3964]

The music structure in 'Farewell Concertos' certainly evokes sounds that resemble the 'ending of an endeavour, a push' that took herculean effort to accomplish. Time to move on... Could I take the liberty and a moment of inspiration and christen the event with a poetic title: 'Concerti dell'Addio'? The circumstances simply call for a title with artistic beauty that conveniently replaces an alphanumeric option. The 'artistic title' does not have any relationship to its author reaching a particular moment in his artistic/biological life.

[@giorgiolamborghini813]

If Vivaldi had wanted it a little slower he would have indicated "Vivace" or "Allegro" or "Allegretto". The "Presto" indicates a very fast movement as exactly Voices of Music did and then, in my opinion, they did not exaggerate.
