Vivaldi died in poverty and his music was almost forgotten. Centuries later, hundreds of millions of people, of every culture, race, nationality, still listen to his music in utmost admiration
Many great artists lived that way, especially the musicians. They endure much suffering in their lives in order to convey emotions in abstract form. Artists eventually embrace their suffering because it is the source of their creation. Beethoven went nuts and deaf after an abusive childhood, Mozart was a gambler alcoholic in debt robbed of a playful childhood, Chopin was bipolar and emotional wreck, and JSB had botched baroque eye surgery that left him blind. Tis the journey of the artist.
This ensemble is a real class act. Period instruments, a perfectly balanced sound with a robust basso continuo. They breathe historic authenticity. But most of all they play so well. Most classical music listeners have heard these concerti played quite a lot, but they haven't heard it played like this. Winter is probably the most compelling of the concerti, and we are are unlikely to ever hear it played better than this live performance by Voices of Music.
Most of them are playing instruments from the 1700s, and one of the cellos is from 1673. Five years before Vivaldi was even born. We are hearing the same sounds here that they heard back then.
actually the sound of an instrument changes with time, thats why old instruments are so expensive, because that sound can only come from veeery old instruments. yes im THAT guy and im fun at partys
My close friend is a violin player. He nearly died recently for an aneurysm. He loves playing this and listening too. Vivaldi brings peace to the heart
Nobody mentioning how this whole group is using traditional baroque techniques which is rarely seen?They are using traditional bows and traditional baroque bow hold used in the time period when most of us use the Franco or Russian bow hold
I've heard a lot of Vivaldi's Winter, but Mrs. Cynthia definitely tops the hat. The sparse opening is usually played with too much force, making the violin crunch a lot, but she managed to rope out such power without being too massive on the strings, which is amazing because the clarity and the strength of the music sounds just like the cold itself. It's amazing that she made all the harsh sounds of winter so effortless, while keeping emotions on the warm part of the music. And definitely I bow and commend the final movement where she lets all the emotions out, truly amazing, this is literally (and most probably) the hundred time I repeated this recording already. Thank you VoM for recording this masterpiece!!!
Cynthia Freivogel is so fast and accurate. She's one of the best violinists I've ever watched. I've watched this a dozen times and I'm still amazed at her speed and accuracy.
Hey there, sorry to interject, i'm a newbie in classical music, and even if this interpretation give me the chills and the tears by his beauty i still prefer Mari Samuelsen's version...i'm i wrong somewhere? I don't understand all the technique behind the violin, it just trigger my soul that's why i love it.
Mari's version is totally great, and in art whether it is music or painting one can go into a room and have a favorite painting or artists. There's a subtle factor here which is the baroque violin is really different from the modern violin, as they are separated by three hundred years of development, so in a way it;s like comparing a piano to an electric piano, they are both cool, but they require different techniques. And each performance reveals something interesting about the music. One of the differences is the bow. The baroque bow--and the player--shapes each phrase as an arc instead of sustaining the music lines all the way to the end. This creates a harmonic space for the other instruments in the orchestra to interact with the soloist so it is more of a music conversation than prepared remarks. This also allows for improvisation, which you see in baroque music and in Jazz, but not, typically, in a modern performance. So there are differences.
I hope whomever is watching this masterpiece realizes they are witnessing art in one of its purest and most beautiful forms. Cynthia Miller Freivogel is a living music legend. A true artist, her passion and attention to detail is marvelous. In this era of frivolous popularity I am thankful to be a spectator of such a TRULY amazing display of art. Thank you.
I'm 80 and have enjoyed Vivaldi all my life. I've heard more than a few performances, and own more than a few CD's, but this performance is tops. Both the performers AND the recording are superb!! Thanks all.
I'm a very meat and potatoes kind of guy, working class lad from London. I usually don't get this style of music and culture. But after watching this 73 times over the last 4 days, I have been granted access to a place that I thought I was excluded from. I am so moved and stimulated, so shocked that I 'get it'. Thick poignancy is drenched over me.
@@bag3lmonst3r72 Thanks mate, I've heard this piece many times growing up, but always felt on the other side of the wall in terms of culture and interest, to really 'feel it'. It feels so natural now, to let it wash over me and without confusion and conflict with embarrassment, to allow me to fully drink it in.
In my country winter isn't even cold. Actually, it is the hottest season after summer, but this music makes me imagine perfectly something I've never lived
@@lmahu6627 ye it sucks bro but gotta love the heat that makes your skin viscous all the time. Ah cant complain when your country is located directly at the equator.
As someone who finds modern ''artists'' lazy, this woman and people like her are carrying the entire reputation of artists in my eyes. She's such a treasure
Astonishing. Zero mistakes. The woman playing 1st violin is beyond belief -- she appears to be performing the entire suite by memory. Note the flawless ferocity in the allegro non molto & allegro, the phenomenal improvisation in the largo. Just wow.
i love classical music and this one is my favorate since I was little. to see that people are enjoying and re-enjoying this masterpiece again all because of a video game brings me so much joy. thank you mihoyo for not letting classical music die.
8:24 That smile between the soloist and the harpsichordist is epic! I’m not sure what it meant between them, but I’d like to believe it meant “We nailed it!!”. Damn right!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
People who are dissatisfied with the fact that a masterpiece is used to create masterpieces are fools. The music was written by the creator to be enjoyed, and when a game company uses a masterpiece in its video, it pays homage. And yes, they try to make a masterpiece so that the beautiful music is in a beautiful video! It's art! Thank you Hoevers for the masterpiece and the use of this masterpiece!
fully agreed! reworking a masterpiece will keep it staying alive longer, then people listening to that version will come and try to find the original version, just like the 'skill issue' memes lately it was proved in the edm industry for years, and now it's Kafka - Character Trailer. this means classical music is not an exception afterall. just saying in my view as an overseer of the worldwide dance music industry, it's been almost 10 years for myself
I can't help think it's so cool that these individuals look so "everyday", you could encounter one in the checkout line at the grocery and you would never imagine they are amazing musicians.
yees.. Yes, she is extraordinary, I investigated her, I don't know if she is the best in the world, but she is virtuous and very pretty, she has an angel.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of Vivaldi performances in the wonderful word of TH-cam. However - THIS performance is BY FAR the best in my humble opinion. I listen to this video as well as Summer at least four or five times a day. Such a masterful performance all around. A standing ovation!! Bravo!!! Bravissimoooo! 🙏
There’s an incredible atmosphere, and within it, artists who seem to have been placed there with the precise hand of a master painter. You can feel so clearly that they are not just playing the music, but truly living the emotions Vivaldi himself experienced. The intensity with which they embody these feelings reaches deep into their bones. As I listen, I can’t help but feel that same emotion, and for that, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to them. The Allegro non molto section really brings out the sharp, biting cold. And then, when they shift into the Largo and the pace slows down, it’s like a sudden change. As they pause and turn the page, it feels like being pulled out of the trance of winter, back into the warmth of reality.
I came back to this beautiful masterpiece after watching Honkai Star Rail’s Kafka trailer. The moment I listened to the bgm I knew it was Vivaldi straight away 😆. I love classical music in general and Vivaldi is one of my favorite composer’s, I was so happy when they sampled some of his pieces for the trailer (//∇//). If y’all are wandering the trailer sampled 2 Vivaldi pieces, the beginning of the trailer sample the first part in Vivaldi Winter, meanwhile the ending of the trailer (it started when she showed her ultimate) sample the last part of Vivaldi Summer. Also I really love the way this video puts captions like it’s telling a story about the music
@@alawe-memes9022the music sampled at the first part of the trailer is from here 1:00 If you look up Canon in D the tune is actually different and it’s not in Kafka’s trailer. Even so hoyoverse has actually sampled Canon in D in the actual game cutscene where Kafka first invaded the Space Station (the part when you started the game for the very first time) （＾∇＾） Hope this information helps (^^)v
I come back to listen frequently, right now having people to mourn for it's the perfect piece to help with that. I never ceased to be amazed at how superbly this is performed each and every time.
This great violinist's name is a metaphor in itself. Cinthia is another name for the greek godess Artemis, the hunter, always depicted with her bow. And her last name means free bird. Cinthia Freivogel, please keep on playing forever.
I can't count the number of times I've listened to it. Usually I get tired of hearing something repeatedly, but this piece of art makes me love it more every time.
Vivaldi's Four Seasons is, in my opinion, the most beautiful collection of classical music ever composed. Winter will always be my favorite though. I am just utterly transfixed on the first violin's fingering.... she's amazing
Hoyoverse (and some other studios) uses classical music, opera, and traditional instruments from various countries and put a modern (or futuristic) twist to them for their character trailers (in this case, they used this piece in the Kafka trailer in HSR), cutscenes, battle themes, and boss fights. It makes them more enjoyable for the current generation and people who don't have the taste for these kind of music. It, *kinda* immortalizes these classical masterpieces and various traditional way of making music in a way I guess.
hello (i forgot what it was called and only *remembered* this song after kafka and i was like "ive heard this before WHERE" and i finally found it lmao)
@@gortcapybara6982 the same came to me haha, used to listen when I was small and i felt 'the fuck i heard this before' after watching Kafka Trailer indeed
Vivaldi's Winter is my favourite classic piece by far and now it's getting more famous due to being used in a gacha game. Man we live in strange times.
While some people may not like that others got to know this piece due to a gacha game, I'm glad that, maybe just a few; will get into classical music because of this.
I always thought that Vivaldi's four seasons was iconic though? Though I guess there's gonna be even more views because of Kafka lol. I've always really liked the winter section of this music though, it's intense, dramatic, and passionate, it's a really fitting piece for a character like Kafka, I just didn't expect them to use an actual classical piece for her trailer, though I'm not complaining lol.
@@art.s.0 It always was, however I don't think the "Clasiscal music scene" and the "Addicted mobile gacha game player" has that much overlap. I think my first time I myself realised it was Vivaldi was in John Wick chapter 3, but in my rewatch they've also used Winter in John Wick 2. But yeah Vivaldi has become a pop culture icon because it's a vivid way of high culture that everyone can appreciate in their action scenes, including but not limited to Kafka's trailer. (But really, watch some action movies that have a hint of high culture in it and you'll find Vivaldi in 40% of them, and I'm kinda sick of it myself ngl)
As an 18 year old man this is probably the best piece of nonvokal music ive ever heard even tho i dont play a single i felt every movement of the violinist as it were my own huge respect
I’ve listened to this arrangement many times and it grabs me so intensely that I become emotional involved when listening to it. I came from Scotland where the cold winds blaw.
This is my absolute favourite rendition of "Winter" ever, it never seems to fail to render me speechless. Each time I listen to this, Cynthia's demeanor, care for the piece, love for her instrument, and humbleness that she posses tug at my heart. Her way of playing it, without sheet music, on bare muscle memory, with her heart... I adore their team work and mutual appreciation for each other. As if their strings are my heart's fibers. Magnifique. A huge brava for each and every artist, and to Voices of Music for putting this on here so it could be shared and rejoiced.
Only because Vivaldi was the Master ! And of course you made the best Interpretion i ever heard ! Grandios Vivaldi and grandios Voices of Music ! Vivaldi would love it !
You're very much welcome. Please, congratulate yourselves, you've expressed so much and did so much hard work to give us this beautiful, heartwarming video. We love you all so much, and Vivaldi's works.
It is actually really hard to find a good performance, from which there is also good live recording. Seriously who ever set up the recording and mixed it, did great job. Feels like I'm right at the centre of the performance. You could even feel the basses and cello play.
First Wednesday, now Kafka. Classic musics never gets old. As a musician I am very happy because gacha games like HSR and Netflix series like Wednesday are showing the old and classical culture
Abhishek Sathe it was composed in a minding of beauty and perfection. At this time, it was so much work to be musician composer. They had many rules to follow to write a symphony , a concerto. Most of these talented men have been known after their death.
I think there’s some interesting things in every kind of music. Even pop music and KPop have some good stuff. I would like to die with Albinoni and I have a playlist for every situation that goes by The best of Mozart, The Weekend, Duran Duran, Stromae, BTS , Eminem, Paolo Conte, France Gall,Mylène Farmer, The Cult, Thomaso Albinoni, Charlotte Cardin, Leo Ferré, New Order, Gilbert Bécaut, Taylor Swift
What a wonderful performance! Cynthia Miller Freivogel plays so well, she makes it look easy even though it is among the hardest pieces for violin in the Baroque period. Bravi!
Global warming will never destroy Vivaldi's Winter! It shall always sing loud in my heart ❄🤍❄ Thank you so much, every single incredibly musician from Voices of Music! You are all so fabulous and magnifique! It would be a pleasure to listen to you live one day.
This is quite simply the most exquisite performance of Vivaldi I've ever watched or listened to. Your passion shines through this like the sun through a church window. This is as close as I can imagine to the voice of god.
-50 million!- Thanks, everyone :) Update: *61 million!*

It's true. He did not have financial support at the end.
Vivaldi was priest

I was just thinking "wth is up with how they're holding those bows!? Where is the chin rest? Where is the shoulder rest?" haha >
Lachlan Walker some professional violinist don’t even use one.I find it more common in old school violinist.

@@yeahbaby2123 i think it would be Symbolism. Dont quite see the metaphor.
TheAsianGamer What’s the difference?
Her parents knew she was going to play the strings isn't?
Quiere lik para robar
The 1st movement is the most metal thing I've ever heard in classical music so far, symphonic yet intense. I love it
Exactly so amazing humans have been going so hard for hundreds of years they just didn’t have the electricity to play guitars with

If you're into that sort of thing, check out:

@@matthewraphael can't thank you enough
I can't count the number of times I've listened to it. Usually I get tired of hearing something repeatedly, but this piece of art makes me love it more every time.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is, in my opinion, the most beautiful collection of classical music ever composed.
Winter will always be my favorite though.
I am just utterly transfixed on the first violin's fingering.... she's amazing
AGREE❤❤
Absolutely agree, winter well and truly my favourite
Hoyoverse (and some other studios) uses classical music, opera, and traditional instruments from various countries and put a modern (or futuristic) twist to them for their character trailers (in this case, they used this piece in the Kafka trailer in HSR), cutscenes, battle themes, and boss fights. It makes them more enjoyable for the current generation and people who don't have the taste for these kind of music. It, *kinda* immortalizes these classical masterpieces and various traditional way of making music in a way I guess.
I can't WAIT to hear this in a boss fight :3
People who manage this channel: "What kafka they are even talking about..."
Anyway, it's so amazing, still the best music in history
-Six million- -Seven- _Nine_ million *Wow. Thanks, everyone!*
yeaaaah!!!!! felicidades. saludos desde sudamerica. me encanta como tocan. los admiro!!!!!
we love it

Deserved, you are fantastic!
You will get a number more than this, because a famous action movie 😆😆
300 years later and still better than most music today
Is it possible for a human to compose something like this? That was magical, awesome and surreal and great performers, well done
The Interpretation and dynamics is killing. This must be Ling Ling. 40 hours practice per day.

But a day only has 24 hours 🤔🤔
wheres the HSR players that knew of this piece before kafka?. Hats off to Hoyoverse for single handedly reviving this masterpiece..
Off course. Not only classical enthusiasts but rockers as this was th basis of the "epic solo". Now it represents mommy Kafka's badassery
I played Vivaldi during a piano recital at 2015, and now I'm pulling for spider mommy
hello (i forgot what it was called and only *remembered* this song after kafka and i was like "ive heard this before WHERE" and i finally found it lmao)
@@gortcapybara6982 the same came to me haha, used to listen when I was small and i felt 'the fuck i heard this before' after watching Kafka Trailer indeed
It grabbed my heart when it started playing in the trailer
I think Vivaldi's 4 Seasons is some of the greatest music ever written. I love it!
It in fact is one of the best music ever written, at least by all standards up to today.
I just can't get enough of this. And it's not just the audio, I literally have watched the entire video for the 17th time in 2 days.
OK! Thanks!
😂😂😂 Me too. This is perfection
My God that violinist is incredible. 😂. Just wow I'd be so honoured to get her autograph.
I may have watched a few times.
I just have discovered this wonderful piece of art and already watched it almost 3 times.💞💕🌟
Vivaldi's Winter is my favourite classic piece by far and now it's getting more famous due to being used in a gacha game. Man we live in strange times.
yep lol Im here exactly bc of it. The more I listen the more I want to learn an instrument grah
While some people may not like that others got to know this piece due to a gacha game, I'm glad that, maybe just a few; will get into classical music because of this.
I always thought that Vivaldi's four seasons was iconic though? Though I guess there's gonna be even more views because of Kafka lol. I've always really liked the winter section of this music though, it's intense, dramatic, and passionate, it's a really fitting piece for a character like Kafka, I just didn't expect them to use an actual classical piece for her trailer, though I'm not complaining lol.
@@art.s.0 It always was, however I don't think the "Clasiscal music scene" and the "Addicted mobile gacha game player" has that much overlap. I think my first time I myself realised it was Vivaldi was in John Wick chapter 3, but in my rewatch they've also used Winter in John Wick 2.
But yeah Vivaldi has become a pop culture icon because it's a vivid way of high culture that everyone can appreciate in their action scenes, including but not limited to Kafka's trailer. (But really, watch some action movies that have a hint of high culture in it and you'll find Vivaldi in 40% of them, and I'm kinda sick of it myself ngl)
Basically Kafka has taste on classic music
As an 18 year old man this is probably the best piece of nonvokal music ive ever heard even tho i dont play a single i felt every movement of the violinist as it were my own huge respect
*a single instrument
I’ve listened to this arrangement many times and it grabs me so intensely that I become emotional involved when listening to it. I came from Scotland where the cold winds blaw.
This is my absolute favourite rendition of "Winter" ever, it never seems to fail to render me speechless. Each time I listen to this, Cynthia's demeanor, care for the piece, love for her instrument, and humbleness that she posses tug at my heart. Her way of playing it, without sheet music, on bare muscle memory, with her heart... I adore their team work and mutual appreciation for each other. As if their strings are my heart's fibers. Magnifique. A huge brava for each and every artist, and to Voices of Music for putting this on here so it could be shared and rejoiced.
This rendition is great, but not much compares to the Max Richter recomposed version: th-cam.com/video/8oYWfJuMGMA/w-d-xo.html
Agreed. This has the most dynamism...other versions are almost rendered flat.
Mi inglés es malo por eso te escribo en español ,me pasa igual las escucho toda,pero esta tiene una armonía especial

Only because Vivaldi was the Master ! And of course you made the best Interpretion i ever heard ! Grandios Vivaldi and grandios Voices of Music ! Vivaldi would love it !
You're very much welcome. Please, congratulate yourselves, you've expressed so much and did so much hard work to give us this beautiful, heartwarming video. We love you all so much, and Vivaldi's works.
I listen to this so often. Never fails to move me x thank you
I see you are the man of a cilture as well
I contribute 10 views per day :D. Thank you for uploading it :)
Very few pieces of music can make me cry nearly on command like this.
bro i just came back randomly and suddenly there's star rail fans everywhere lol. I'm thankful anyways
Kafka have very good taste in Music indeed
Thank u Hoyo for introducing me to this good music
It is actually really hard to find a good performance, from which there is also good live recording. Seriously who ever set up the recording and mixed it, did great job. Feels like I'm right at the centre of the performance. You could even feel the basses and cello play.
man i love the fact i knew this before kafka was a thing .
Same
My baby is 11 days old and loves this music...Thank you.
1:11 I am so happy to have heard this in my lifetime. Truly one of the best sounds I have ever heard. It was worth it to be borne just for this.
Thank you.
That's the best Winter Version I've ever heard ! Absolutely grandios...
тысячный раз слушаю -так и есть! (I listen to it for the thousandth time!)

I agree

Luka Sulic is also incredible
Don’t speak violin, so the captions helped a lot.
Ok. Y’all need to understand that this is a joke
Ysabell Lee 😂
😮 mind blown
😂😂😂😂😂
It's just the poem that goes with the piece
Payton Gough okay Karen
That's amazing! She memorized every single note of this song... Really impressive!
This is the height of artistic excellence. Ive got tears in my eyes at how powerful this is. Amazing.
Thank you so much!
same here
now i see a pattern lol
me too. Can't quite explain this experience
Vivaldi: Composes Winter
Ochestra: Performs Winter perfectly
Vivaldi: Now thats what im talkin about
Now that's quite my tempo
LingLing can play as an orchestra, because he can play all instruments at the same time.
Absolutely!!!!!!!!
Exactly!
Shinobu Oshino HAHA
First Wednesday, now Kafka. Classic musics never gets old. As a musician I am very happy because gacha games like HSR and Netflix series like Wednesday are showing the old and classical culture
This is real music. Stuff like this will never get old until the end of space and time
Absolutely. Actual instruments, melodies, just raw music
Truly amazing piece
@@whatzittooyah Agreed
Abhishek Sathe it was composed in a minding of beauty and perfection. At this time, it was so much work to be musician composer. They had many rules to follow to write a symphony , a concerto. Most of these talented men have been known after their death.
I think there’s some interesting things in every kind of music. Even pop music and KPop have some good stuff. I would like to die with Albinoni and I have a playlist for every situation that goes by The best of Mozart, The Weekend, Duran Duran, Stromae, BTS , Eminem, Paolo Conte, France Gall,Mylène Farmer, The Cult, Thomaso Albinoni, Charlotte Cardin, Leo Ferré, New Order, Gilbert Bécaut, Taylor Swift
Absolutely incredible. How blessed are we to have this free on TH-cam??
Enjoy!
Thank God the audience didn't clap between the movements! The performance here was so disciplined but so radiant! Outstanding!
The performance is overwhelming and everyone is so professional. Every note is so precise. Watch this video hundred times and feels so emotional
Thanks so much!
@@VoicesofMusic Omg, so you're responding 6 years later?!?? How's that even possible?!???!??!!!

I am so glad, there are people that preserve the art of music.
No t
omg i swear when pros play its done so effortlessly and smoothly...it almost sounds like they are not playing fast enough....wow beautiful.
What a wonderful performance! Cynthia Miller Freivogel plays so well, she makes it look easy even though it is among the hardest pieces for violin in the Baroque period. Bravi!
:)
Listening to this while experiencing an actual winter in Texas just makes me feel the music even more.
omg yesssssssssssssss

Thank you so much!
th-cam.com/video/kS-W3lfcVvY/w-d-xo.html what about this one?
do you know why her bow is strange
@@ulasonal it's a baroque bow. They used it to be historically acurate to the piece.
@@Jessavjo93 - not bad, but parts of it sound rushed.
I feel this rendition has better use of dynamics.

Absolutely spectacular. Hands down the best rendition of Winter I have ever heard! Second to none.
She plays with such precision and clarity. Breathtaking performance
This is quite simply the most exquisite performance of Vivaldi I've ever watched or listened to. Your passion shines through this like the sun through a church window. This is as close as I can imagine to the voice of god.
