Stately, elegant, and timeless, Geminiani's masterful variations on "La Folia" played to perfection by this remarkable ensemble. The poignant, slow passages make me cry, the changes in tempo stir my soul, and the exuberant fast passages make my heart dance like a happy-go-lucky child.
FRANCESCO GEMINIANI {LUCQUES 1687-1762 DUBLIN} CONCERTO GROSSO "LA FOLLIA" - ONE & GIOVANNI ANTONINI. Magnifique, orchestre grandiose bravo. LA FOLIA, également appelée FOLLIA en italien ou FOLIES D' ESPAGNE, est une danse apparue au XVe siècle probablement au Portugal dont le thème a servi pour des variations a plus de 150 compositeurs de LULLY à SERGUEI RACHMANINOV en passant par VANGELIS PAPATHANASSIOU. Merci pour ce chef-d'oeuvre de GEMINIANI sublime.
Buenas noches...no sé mucho sobre este tipo arte musical...pero al escucharlo me sedujo y tranquilizó el Alma...Gracias por compartirlo! Saludos desde Argentina
FRANCESCO GEMINIANI: Né le 5 décembre 1687 à Lucques, Italie Décédé le 17 septembre 1762 à Dublin Irlande. Il reçoit ses premières leçons musicales de son père et perfectionne son jeu de violon chez Carlo Ambrogio Lonati à Milan, auprès d'Arcangelo Corelli à Rome et Alessandro Scarlatti. En 1711, il reprend la direction de l'opéra à Naples, puis se rend à Londres en 1714. Sous la protection du duc d'Essex, il peut enseigner et composer. En 1715, il interprète ses concertos pour violon avec Georg Friedrich Haendel à la Cour de Londres. Après une visite à Paris, il y réside assez longtemps, pour retourner en 1755 vers l'Angleterre. Il se produit comme virtuose et comme éditeur d'un périodique de musique - une activité dans laquelle il échoue. Le succès est en revanche au rendez-vous avec la vente de ses propres tableaux ainsi que ceux de maîtres italiens. À Dublin, en1761, un serviteur lui dérobe un manuscrit musical ; d'après ses proches, la contrariété d'être volé de son temps et du fruit de son travail aurait provoqué son décès prématuré.
Ann Sobieski In the baroque age, musicians were always standing! So in the philological performances nowadays, the orchestra (or soloists) plays baroque instruments (with animal strings, not metal ones) and standing :)
No sabía que esto se subió en TH-cam....!!! Qué casualidad, en ese día yo vi y escuché esta bella música en vivo. Si no fui a este concierto, no iba a conocer a este gran compositor Geminiani. Actualmente toco sus obras de cámara, por ejemplo sonatas de violín, y de violonchelo también. Les agradezco mucho de que compartieran esta música BELLÍSIMA!! Muchas gracias. Saludos, desde Japón.
@@steveegallo3384 y desde São Paulo, Brasil, tambien. Steve, o que mais me impressiona é como um tema popular, de autor desconhecido, tenha ocupado tantos grandes autores. Para nós brasileiros ainda mais porque sua origem é o pequeno Portugal. Temos em nosso folclore popular ainda uma festa "Folias de Reis" que se reporta aos Reis Magos, em 6 de janeiro. Mas Portugal nasceu na Espanha, e nosso idioma ,muito parecido com o Galego, tem uma palavra SAUDADE , que não se confunde com NOSTALGIA dos "gringos" que lembra a tristeza. Saudade , só existe no portugues e no galego, e nos traz uma lembrança doce de algo que passou. É o que me gusta en esta melodia: oarece que vivi nesse tempo ; seria esse sentimento que inspirou tantos grandes talentos ? Sem que eles soubessem o porque?
Beautiful performance, I had not heard this version of La Follia before. Turns out this is Geminiani's fairly literal arrangement for orchestra of Corelli's version, which is for violin & continuo (usually played with cello or viola da gamba doubling the bass line). The orchestral version has a bigger sound and more drama, in Corelli's original there is more room for individual interpretation and ornamentation, and in places is quieter and more reflective. There is plenty of room for both approaches to a piece I can listen to many times again.
Geminiani at his best!!! There is no question in my mind that out of all the music written around the beautiful “Folias” theme, these are the most spectacular "Diferencias". And this interpretation by members of the Orquesta Nacional de España definitely has superb Spanish GUSTO, on this most Spanish theme.
Wow! What a wonderful experience!All through the music I was looking mesmerized at the dancing steps of the conductor and first violinist. Even if another conductor opts another modern version of dance it will always be a success because of the popularity of the La Folia. What an enchanting music, leaving sweet memories in our minds for a long time! While my eyes were concentrated exclusively on the dancing duo my both the ears were attuned to the heavenly music. The performance of the dancer - conductor was mute reply to some of the viewers who commented elsewhere comparing conductors as necessary evils! Hope, if they watch this video, they will change their minds!
The best single adjective I can think of for this is "noble." (Unfortunately not every conductor/orchestra can do this as well as Antonini. I heard a great rendition of this on an RCA Victor Red Label vinyl record in 1970 and searched for it for decades and nobody seems to have even heard of it . . . The other great rendition for me is Salieri's, which also has to be "done right" like the Bamert performance) . . .
Geminiani and Antonini have, I feel, captured the wistfulness of this oft inspiring piece of music, the "La Folia." At any rate, it makes me feel wistful rather than "mad" or happy, the way that Dvorak's "From The New World" symphony feels too. I wish the videographer had moved the camera a bit (was he/she texting for 12 minutes?), rather than let the first violinist and Giovanni Antonini be the only "moving" bodies. Fortunately, the music was definitely moving.
Hola! Que hermoso, toqué esta pieza hace algunos años y me quedé solo con la parte de Cello, ustedes saben dónde o cómo puedo conseguir las partituras ? Gracias!
Very beautiful and beautifully performed!
Belleza absoluta saludos desde Argentina algún día conoceré esta hermosa tierra Italiana, salute!
One of the favorites. A piece of a touch of Heavenly music.

Great Composer. I love this music.
I like Geminiani
So beautiful
I could not get my eyes off the conductor. I was mesmerized by his movement, especially around from 8:30 for next 3 mins.
Wonderful version. I keep coming back to this.

Amazing performance !
Truly exquisite
A+
Amazing, one of the best on youtube.
Yes, I love how the conductor and the first violin dance !

Sorry. It was a simple camera on a tripod at the back of the hall. The audio was taken from the radio live broadcast
Sono incantato
All Human drama is expressed here
Agree. And also in Vivaldi RV63.
Geminiani's follia, seems to me, to have all light and poignancy of the Spring compared to the stately doom of the others. Pax, jb.
Гармоничное звучание, жаль не видим лиц исполнителей.

Beautiful rendition! Oh man, who was your audio engineer!? I can't believe this was 12 years ago with the clarity through my headphones.
👌✌️🙏🎸🎻🎻🎻
Shades of Vivaldi!

LYSANDE!!!
Hola! Que hermoso, toqué esta pieza hace algunos años y me quedé solo con la parte de Cello, ustedes saben dónde o cómo puedo conseguir las partituras ? Gracias!
Liszt uses this theme in his "Rhapsodie Espagnole"!
Considerable: 11m12s !!!! Poor man- he chase the pigeons
Es de arcangello corelli
Geminiani fue alumno de Corelli y transcribió 6 de sus sonatas para violín y continuo para esta formación.
El tema la follia és originario de Vivaldi, Corelli o Geminiani?
es un tema de origen español al que estos compositores escribieron variaciones.
Se cree que la melodía de La Folia proviene de alguna danza portuguesa o española del siglo XV.
First on paper: Rodrigo Martinez 1490 . The folk song beings older... supposedly Portuguese...
