It's crazy how one performer can make such a difference, as soon as he came back the whole orchestra sounded so much more complete, beautiful performance!
At the point he came back, sounded more full-bodied of course, 'cos it's 2 cellos vs 1 when the string broke. Besides, sounded like at that point, the ensemble was heading to more vigorous playing, so it's even heavier lower frequencies?
@@sammo3969I get your point. The music changes in it's character around the point he started playing again, so it's a little hard to know exactly what difference his playing made. Thats a scientific attitude which is of course valid and good; I make my living in science/tech/engineering/math, so I definitely find the question intriguing. But music isn't a scientific thing at its core. Maybe the meaning here isn't in the actual frequencies that emanated from this ensemble's instruments, but in the story that we as humans cannot help but see--the weight of an individual put on display in fantastic fashion.
Rebecca is the second cellist? And Rene came back with a modern cello bow-perhaps the one with which he should have started! This is heavy gut playing! haha!
@@cliffgaither Well, Vivaldi got his inspiration from somewhere... I think from nature, but as he was a priest he probably would've said God. And heaven can be just a very pleasant state of mind, not necessarily the Christian heaven, which I also don't believe in as a pantheist. It's just a turn of phrase, don't take it so seriously.
@@MetalTrabant :: Thanks for the advice ! It's the people who use the phrase who take it seriously and occasionally, they should be called out. I had forgotten about Vivaldi's priesthood ; maybe he did find his musical genius through religion, definitely nature. His Four Seasons justifies the latter belief as you pointed-out. What is more heartbreaking than his music, was the heartbreaking end, in Vienna.
UNBELEVABLY COOL PERFORMANCE!!! I'm a violinist, teacher and also a singer in the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. In the choir we're told constantly that people hear with their EYES. This performance had me absolutely riveted to the screen! You are so very fun to watch. I will show my students as this is the perfect example of how to engage an audience: incomparable performance and engaging visually. So.... when are you coming on tour to UTAH?????
When I first watched this video, I didn’t realize Apollo’s Fire was the name of The ensemble. I imagined it was the term for when your bow explodes while you are performing. As in….he played with such passion he invoked Apollo’s fire, which caused his bow to explode from the awesomeness of its power. Ps. I’ve since become a huge fan. I’m always studying your performances and lectures.
That was incredible!! There’s that certain something; it’s electric and intoxicating. You don’t know what it is exactly but you recognize it when you see it…. It was all over the place in this performance, both visually and aurally.
The moment when the cellist re-enters, the sound becomes rich and full, creating something truly extraordinary. For me, it feels almost like an ecstatic, transcendent experience.
"La folia" means "madness" in Portuguese, for those who may think Vivaldi has gone crazy. Some say this theme was created in Portugal, others in Spain ("folías de España, a traditional genre danced in the Canaries at present, although different to this baroque theme) They became very popular along Europe and there are hundreds of compositions based on La folia. The original theme is perfect to compose variations, as well as the bass ostinato of Pachelbel's Canon the two top baroque melodies with the "canarios"
Brillante , magnifica, la mejor ejecución de esta peculiar y extraordinaria melodía en la versión de Vivaldi. Y de paso como resolver un problema totalmente inesperado (5:30) de la mejor manera. Bravo por todo el grupo y un aplauso al arquero del año.
Wait, this version, to my surprise, popped up right after another version I saved under my account here; and, this version I like better 'cos it has more body (the mid and lower region). Wowwwwwwww! More oomph! I love Vivaldi. Also, many (majority) players on this piece I think are the same as in the other piece, Emi Tanabe....... This is a versatile ensemble, obviously, as we noticed that the main soloists here are different, and the star violinists in another version by the ensemble featured couple others as soloists. WOWWW! Also, the side show of the broken bow makes it so much more enjoyable? Bravo. Addendum - this version, as I checked the other version ny this group, who the personnel are slightly varied. This version is more recent, so it sounded more full-bodied. Perhaps the equipment, etc. is more modern, sophisticated. Soloists are also different (versatile group). Both are so enjoyable. Ha, this version is more voluptuous tho. Real "fire" played by Apollo's Fire.
These are true pros - unshaken by a catastrophe, all in a day's work. I half-expected the other cellist to hand over her bow, but she took over the role without missing a beat!
I remember you uploaded this many years ago. (maybe a decade?) That was the beginning with falling in love with Apollo's baroque. And this passionate performance is still so great, Viva Vivaldi!
...se la telecamera non avesse ripreso il momento della rottura dell'archetto, penso che nessuno se ne sarebbe accorto per la vostra bravura nell'esecuzione di questo magnifico pezzo di musica barocca. Complimenti e grazie di cuore. 🤗🤗🤗
I love this Vivaldi music performed by Apollo’s Fire. Such excitement and fun filled musical expression eventually caused the cello’s bow to fracture with explosive energy! It was well handled by everyone, especially the cello players. This unfortunate accident should not define this performance, which was brilliantly played by all, especially the lead violinists. It was nice to see the lead violin positions rotated to give each one the opportunity to show their skills.
When I wake up in the morning my 2 year old son already has his toy violin asking for this song.
It's crazy how one performer can make such a difference, as soon as he came back the whole orchestra sounded so much more complete, beautiful performance!
The power of cello!!!
The second cello stepped in like a backup quarterback ready to win.
Well, Vivaldi obviously knew what he was composing, so his composition would be always incomplete without that cello part :)
At the point he came back, sounded more full-bodied of course, 'cos it's 2 cellos vs 1 when the string broke. Besides, sounded like at that point, the ensemble was heading to more vigorous playing, so it's even heavier lower frequencies?

I love this more than anything. I have listened this for billion times... Man Vivaldiiii...
made me cry when he came back and started playing almost as if he hadnt stopped!
Good thing it didn't happen earlier, around 2:45 -- 3:05 . For giving its all, that bow should take a bow. _I'll see myself out._
I really LOVE this masterpiece by Vivaldi, and how this ensemble / ochestra plays it...
Have you found the Jupiter Ensemble yet? You'll like them too.
This music is art, Italian composers are masters of baroque music.
Dude be head banging, this is metal
You should PERFECTLY KNOW that "METAL" is made after classical music ! Normal !
All that ACDC or Van Allen played is totally copied from Bach Toccata et Fugue en ré mineur !!! THE obvious ! And this is ONLY one example...
I enjoy no other composer's music like Vivaldi. It's beauty in simplicity.
they had fun, so is perfect.
Absolument exhilarating performance.
The amount of quantum energy they are producing with each other to make this sound is quite impressive
One of my favourite baroque songs ever
This was a thrilling performance!
I agree. One of the best performances of La Follia I've seen/heard.
Better even than their 7/5/2015 performance at Tanglewood (posted March 2020). Love how different performances have different soloists.
5:31!!! What troopers they be! I love watching the eyes of several violinists in the next 20 seconds. Priceless! Rebecca stepped right in... flawless.
Rebecca is the second cellist? And Rene came back with a modern cello bow-perhaps the one with which he should have started! This is heavy gut playing! haha!
@@RhondaBranneky yes
@@redbrian3655 fun! René begins to play like the 2Cellos in 1!!
@@RhondaBranneky they have nothing over him! 😁 He is great! (Even though I love them very much!)
He back for that run with the bass
I love vivaldi, this is wonderful, I don’t understand how there are people who don’t like classical music if this is majestic and divine❤️✨
People who say they don’t like it have never listened to any or only have heard very little….ask, next time!
@@voraciousreader3341::
Too many people have had their power of music comphrension diverted by Mozart, Beethoven, Wagner and Bach.
Why can't my tears stop no matter how many times I watch it?
Me the same. No explain... that's baroque... that's La Follia.
Because this is truly divine music from the heavens...
@@MetalTrabant::
This music is not "from the heavens". This music is from Vivaldi.

My all-time favorite Follia performance!
I clapped my hands with joy during this performance. ....And what a group! So much fun as well as great playing.
Unbelievable music. It is beyond reality and even magic. Eternal vivaldi god bless your soul
I was thinking " pure madness"... Then I remembered it is called like that... Madness... Sensational music, sensational playing
"La folia" means "madness" in Portuguese, for those who may think Vivaldi has gone crazy.

Stupendous! This is how exciting concerts should be
It is so beautiful, I found myself tearing up by the end of the performance. Truly an amazing experience !

Jeje aunque siempre es mejor tener un arco de repuesto sobre todo ante una obra que también es muy exigente para la cuerda grave
you inspire all artists to be better in all ways. THANK YOU.
BRAVO! BRAVO! EXCELLENT! WELL DONE! THE PASSION! THIS IS AN OGANIC PERFORMANCE - BRAVO TO THE CELLIST !
The lone cello player and bass covered nicely. They must have been scouts!

ok, very metal that cello bow explosion!!!
awe heck that was so fun! bravo!
Wow thats incredible!!!🎉
By the way the cellist made me rolling on the floor😂
Brilliant!!! That exploding bow made it even more incredible 😍
I've never been so impressed by an ensemble's performance. Bravo.
Vivaldi é dos meus compositores favoritos e vê-lo ser executado assim tão belamente é divino. Obrigado!
Absolutely fantastic the new version...it's a shame i live in Italy and can't see you live !...but does the job now !!
That was unbelievable!! Thanks for your bows and souls!
La folia mas magnífica y divertida que eh visto jamas! Un matrimonio perfecto entre el virtuosismo y la musicalidad 😍
Completamente de acuerdo!
These are true pros - unshaken by a catastrophe, all in a day's work. I half-expected the other cellist to hand over her bow, but she took over the role without missing a beat!
6:05 Righ on time for that perfect legato! Amazing!
I remember you uploaded this many years ago. (maybe a decade?)
That was the beginning with falling in love with Apollo's baroque.
And this passionate performance is still so great, Viva Vivaldi!
Òh!! But whèŕe is Olivèr B ? AQPOLLO is missing à ray from his cŕown.
Magnificent music. Great recovery by the cellist. We heard this piece in Venice last month in a concert played by Interpreti Veniziani.
what a lively performance👏👏👏👏 perfect👏👏👏👏👏
Wow, what a beautiful version 😊
Masterpiece. Bravo!

What a way to solve a trouble together! Congratulations to the leader director woman
This will be my forever jam
Aaahhh ❤❤ Viva la Vida!!!!!
Wonderful and exciting performance I feel fortunate to meet Apollo’s Fire!
What a beauty! Masterfully arranged and played, a real joy to watch at your superb, moving performance. Bravi!!!
ABSOLUTELY DIVINE !
The woman playing harpsichord is also the conductor? WOW!!
Los escucho mínimo cuatro veces al día . Hace dos semanas . Me encanta gracias . Saludos desde Patagonia
The arrangement is epic
Wow! That was... well... explosive!
I'm surprised the audience didn't stand up with their cellphone flash lights on. Great performance.
5:54 this part just makes me heart pound❣️
Unique... ❤
Cette version me donne des frissons !❤
6:07 Boom, he pulled the spare Cello Bow out of his Cello Case.
If anything would cause a bow to explode, it would be Vivaldi.
Joy!
Que cosa más hermosa
