Vivaldi Concerto for 2 Mandolines in G major Yaki Reuven, Mari Carmen Simon Barrocade Ensemble Live recording, Tel Aviv Museum, 03/2016 Video Production: Jacob Aviram
Joyful and playful in the first movement, most sweet and soothing in the second, exciting in the third. I absolutely love this. Congrats on the rendition and many thanks for such a lovely concert.
Descubriendo a Vivaldi. He escuchado varias veces este precioso y delicado concierto para dos mandolinas de Vivaldi. Me ha parecido fantástico. Y qué decir del excepcional conjunto "Barrocade Ensemble": ¡Bravo!
Listening Guide adapted from Listen, Ninth Edition, by Joseph Kerman, page 115 First Movement (Allegro) The mandolins trade flashy melodies back and forth and often join together, especially at the approach of cadences. The opening ritornello (refrain) in this lively movement consists of several contrasting melodies, some of which return in later ritornellos. The first melody is a tuneful pair of closely related phrases (a and a'). Next comes a quick melodic phrase that is duplicated at a higher pitch, making a sequence (b). With (c) the music reaches a satisfying cadence, and it sounds as if the ritornello is finished -- but Vivaldi has a surprise. A new, undulating melody appears in the minor mode, played pianissimo (d): it is repeated, now in the major mode and forte (d'), to close the ritornello with a solid cadence. The melodies of the mandolins in the solo section are not taken from the ritornello melodies, but show off the instrument's capacities to play quick scales, repeated notes, and arpeggios. The second solo section also features an episode of repeated trills --difficult to play well on the plucked-string instrument. The accompaniment for the solo sections varies, but always reduces the orchestral presence. In solos 1 and 3, only the violins and violas play, with no basso continuo. In solo 2, the upper strings drop out and the basso continuo (cello) takes over. 00:05 Ritornello a 00:12 Ritornello a' 00:20 Ritornello b 00:30 Ritornello c 00:37 Ritornello d 00:45 Ritornello d' 00:51 Solo Mandolines 1 01:35 Ritornello 2 a c 01:49 Solo Mandolines 2 02:36 Ritornello 3 a d d' 02:58 Solo Mandolines 3 03:53 Ritornello 4 d' Second Movement (Andante) There is no ritornello form or basso continuo here, lending a hushed quality to the movement. The soloists are featured from start to finish, accompanied by the violins and violas, quietly playing together a single line. They alternate phrases or join together with melodies that are mostly in the minor mode, dividing the slow main beat into triplets, and playing pizzicato -- plucking the strings. The movement falls into two sections. 04:15 Section a 05:15 Section a repeated 06:15 Section b Third Movement (Allegro) This fast, triple-meter movement includes four ritornellos alternating with three solo sections. The last ritornello is a full reprise of the opening one, while the two ritornellos in between are partial versions of it. Ritornello 3 dwells on the minor mode at its beginning as does solo 3, which follows it, heightening the harmonic variety of the movement. Solo 2 and the end of solo 3 are especially demanding, featuring very quick triplets. 07:50 Ritornello 08:13 Solo Mandolines 1 08:40 Ritornello 2 08:49 Solo Mandolines 2 09:18 Ritornello 3 09:32 Solo Mandolines 3 10:20 Ritornello 4
מהמם! הביצוע הכי מיוחד ויפה ועשיר ששמעתי ליצירה הזו מכל הביצועים, האנדנטה ממש יוצא דופן בעיבוד ובנגינה ובדקויות והפרק השלישי מיד אחריו עם כל התזמורת פשוט מלהיב!
Wonderful ! Antonio, in heaven now, must be very pleased ! He will go to his neighbor J.S. Bach and ask him : 'did you hear that? It is mine but it could have been yours too !'
The best, most elegant, most profesional, beautiful, version, sound, speed of this marvel of this Vivaldi concerto. Thank you!!! And a big Bravo to you all!! For this gift!!
The interplay between the voices in the second movement, and the plucked accompaniment - absolutely heavenly. You can see how much the player are enjoying themselves (including the bass player, who can have a rest and listen to them!)
Приємно дізнатися, що в Ізраїлі є музичні митці, вправні і з гарним смаком. А на вулицях міст лунає інша музика, арабська і майже арабська. Шкода... і браво!!!
Splendide : des sensibilités exquises, un amour de la beauté vibrant et communicatif, une qualité de travail et de concentration rare et précieuse, entièrement mise au service de l'oeuvre : c'est très bienfaisant de se sentir appartenir à l'humanité que vous représentez ainsi, mah tov u mah naim... Merci pour ce don de vous-mêmes !
Good sound balance, the mandolins hold their own here. THE best video if one wants to watch the dazzling fingering from minute 9, for that alone the views should be in the 2-500,000 range. :-)
Eines der genialsten Kompositionen mit einem der schönsten aller zweiten Sätze. Das absolute Gegenmodell zu den menschenverachtenden Geschehen in der Ukraine.
Absolutely brilliant. However, I wonder if the usual super-slow tempo of the second movement is what Il Prete Rosso wanted. What if the beat were the quarter notes and not the eighths? In the solo parts flowing triplets then, legatissimo. I believe it is notated in 4/4, so the bar would be the musical entity, not the half-bar. Something like quarter = 45 (instead of eighths = 56 here). Hopefully, somebody will give it a try sometime.
Cannot describe with words the genius of composer and interpreters, a short trip to heaven.
I can listen to Vivaldi all day long!!!!!
Me too😁
I actually listen to Vivaldi all day long. It lowers my blood pressure.
Vivaldi will be listening to this wonderful performance with a big smile on his face in Heaven
Vivaldi lives in our mind, in our hearts forever.
First heard this in Florence at the Medici Palace, never forgotten
ce vivaldi quel compositeur avec toujours des idées originales .Très bien joué .Quand on pense que ce compositeur est mort oubliée et dans la misère
W O N D E R F U L❤
I'm legit listening to this again and again. Can't get enough. Bravo, musicians!!

I agree completely!
Superb soloists and ensemble! Bravo!
An especially beautiful composition, well performed with the orchestral backing.
how can this great piece be interrupted with commercial?
Excelente interpretación grandes maestros 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Two very different mandolin playing styles. It's very interesting to hear and see it.
Paradisiaque ! Quel enchantement !
Just so beautiful
Second movement was very nice :). Love it
How wonderful.
This is gorgeous thank you so much. Well done!
Bravo!
Wonderful ! Antonio, in heaven now, must be very pleased ! He will go to his neighbor J.S. Bach and ask him : 'did you hear that? It is mine but it could have been yours too !'
prachtige uitvoering, de harp en luit geven een extra dynamiek die heel fris overkomt
The best, most elegant, most profesional, beautiful, version, sound, speed of this marvel of this Vivaldi concerto. Thank you!!! And a big Bravo to you all!! For this gift!!
Absolutely! It's often played at a faster tempo. This is the right tempo, well to my ears.
Bravo! Antonio Vivaldi et ses interprètes 👍❤️

WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE
Très belle interprétation. Merveillleux dialogue de cet instrument sublime. Bravo et merci à ces artistes
Perfect!
איזה יופי מדהים

Traumhaft schön!
Oh My goodness!!genius!!!
Second movement is like a starry and quiet night.
Magnífica ejecución!! Bravo!!
Bellissimo
bravissimo
Коли я дивлюся на виконавців концерту Вівальді RV 532, вони геть усі мені подобаються, я бачу красенів і красунь.
Fantastico!!!
É os Barrocos davam um show de interpretação de alma.
Finally the one with baroque tuning.. 👏
La mandoline, l'instrument napolitain par excellence !
Too bad that Vivaldi is Venetian and Neapolitan has nothing at all
Buuuuuu
Vivaldi mandolin concertos are my very happy place.
Eines der genialsten Kompositionen mit einem der schönsten aller zweiten Sätze.
Das absolute Gegenmodell zu den menschenverachtenden Geschehen in der Ukraine.
Or the Gegenmodell of the nazi behavior, we never forgot who Germans were been also if now they act as the perfect teachers ;)
Великолепно
선율이 너무 아름다워요.
The first movement was in Baby Newton
Ottimo, assai interessante!
MERAVIGLIOSI.
Шедеврально!
Indeed...it is so
Parfait et merci Toulon
Just the sight of that theorbo almost steals the show. Good thing that lady mandolinist is so good lookin'.
Bello como siempre Vivaldi
某人推荐的，好听～

😢
RV 532.
Why is there such difference in pitch? A semitone flat from A440h.
Honteux d' entrecouper ce chef d' oeuvre, par de la publicité. Je reste dubitatif ! Désolé !
What is the tall instrument near the piano? Never seen one before.
Amazing! Q: What is the rather large stringed instrument by the piano called?
the big lute-like instrument is a theorbo
I nearly didn’t notice it. Thought it was a harpsichord
@@jlategan8327 thanks!👍🏽
Yo no sabía que Brozo fuera también musico
A côté de la charmante harpiste , quel est ce curieux instrument à très long manche?? ne serais-ce pas un théorbe???
A droite? Oui, un théorbe.
Strange to see some archaic instruments mixed with more modern examples.
Questa musica aumenta l'intelligenza...
