I work in the markets… I don’t know why but listening to this kinda music is helping me a lot. No pressure on lyrics etc… I just feel it. That’s it! Thank you!
Wonderful performance and sound. This certainly demonstrates the depth of vivaldis expression and dynamic virtuosity in presenting a musical palnting in rich colours Bravo bravissimo
Very high levels of composition and performance which is what we expect from Vivaldi and Voices of Music. Chloe Kim impressed me, it is not possible to be that good.
« Il favorito » comes from Vivaldi’s opus 11: a set of six concertos that he presented to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, and that were published in Amsterdam by Le Cene in 1729. All of the concertos in Op. 11 reveal a mature composer who had gained mastery of and even defined, eighteenth-century musical forms, structures, harmonic devices, and orchestration. This concerto’s nickname « Il favorito » was not given by Antonio Vivaldi, but appeared on the score in later years, certainly attesting to its early-gained status as an exceptional work. While all three movements are of nearly identical length, the first exhibits a kind of dramatic grandeur that is enhanced by the imaginative variety of the passages for solo violin. The warm stillness of the middle Andante and the dotted rhythms of the final movement remind us of movements from Autumn from The Four Seasons. All in all, the concerto’s nickname resonates with the enjoyment that this stunning work has brought to performers and listeners alike. Vivaldi is always without limits. *Lucien*
@@VoicesofMusic Vivaldi had a fairly problematic relationship with publishing throughout his life, even though the printed editions of his works must have contributed to his widespread fame. At the outset, he turned to two, somewhat-dated traditional printers in Venice, respectively entrusting his Op.1 and Op.2 to Bortoli and Sala. Then in 1709 he decided to go over to Estienne Roger, the Amsterdam-based publisher whose techniques were considerably more advanced. Among the Op.11 concertos there are two pieces (RV 202 Op.11 No. 5 and RV 277 Op.11 No. 2) that were also included in La Cetra (Vivaldi’s manuscript score of 1728, presented directly to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI). Moreover, there are also various manuscript versions of other concertos, though they do not entirely tally with the printed edition, as well as the oboe concerto that concludes the series. An engraving, however elegant, may be subsequent. Researchers and musicologists are unanimous on this subject. Manuscript versions reveal that concertos Nos. 1 and 4 of Op.11 were part of the endowment of solo works created for Anna Maria, a young virtuoso student at the Ospedale della Pietà. Likewise noteworthy is the sixth and last oboe concerto, which had featured as a violin concerto in La Cetra (printed edition of 1727). Although it was published later, the arrangement for oboe is considered the original version of this concerto. Concerning the Concerto RV 277 (Op. 11 No. 2), called « Il Favorito », it is probably because of the appreciation he had for Charles VI or satisfy his ego? The Venetian master wrote much better than this piece. Something may have gone wrong in editing but the most likely explanation, confirmed by a statement Vivaldi made to an Englishwoman he met in 1733, is that the composer decided to suspend publication because he hoped for better income at a later date from direct sales of his scores. If Vivaldi is a fine composer, he was also a skillful businessman. Everything is plausible because nothing is frozen despite the means implemented for to clarify this Vivaldian page. *Lucien*
@@VoicesofMusic Imagine if you all are making more out of it then it really is...perhaps vivaldi had multiple versions of this piece sent out before his publisher, and for them to know that this is the version he wanted, he simply engraved this version with "my favorite" as in favorite version. That's just coming from a publishers standpoint coming from someone who works in that field haha! But i love these different theories, all very cute!
RV 277 is just amazing. The third movement's first solo's opening has such a weird shape, distinctly Vivaldi! Such a bold thing to write. Vivaldi does love his augmented seconds.
What a lovely performance by young Chloe and VoM! The A/V production engineering is, as always, simply astounding. Bravo!

Thank you, Lucien--The title "Il Favorito" is clearly present in Vivaldi's elegant 1729 engraving, so it quite possibly is named by Vivaldi.

I'm stupid and do not understand why the vatican keeps a caricature of vivaldi in their library.
