This kind of music uplifts the spirit, stimulates the mind while soothing the nerves, and comforts the heart. The world would be a better place if everyone listened to this soul-nourishing music instead of the garbage that passes for music these days
My father taught me to appreciate baroque music when I was a teenager. My father had the patience with me I have tried to have with my children. I really miss him.
Corelli like Vivaldi, Albinoni, constitute the greatest composers set of that time in Italy. This concertos are uniques in harmony. The music is sublime and allows us to be transported beyond the problems of our lives, transmitting the pleasure and joy of that. The orchestration is superb. Bravo for this interpretation.
To me, this piece, and this performance, is heaven on earth. There's something uniquely beautiful about this era of Baroque chamber music (this piece being from 1714, around the time Bach was writing the Brandenburg Concertos). It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear such beautiful sounds and think, "Humanity made this." Corelli is such an undeniable master of harmony, and string writing. Voices of Music are the perfect vehicle for this beautiful composition. The archlute, the baroque organ, the antique bow-holds on the period violins and viola, the beautiful, resonant violone and cello...the righteous early-music goodness is unstoppable, and I can't get enough. Not to mention the sensitivity, the lightness, and the chemistry of the ensemble, combined with the never-ending excitement of Corelli's harmonic choices. It's such a joy to watch. Every part of this piece has something to offer: the stately introduction; the sheer unbridled joy of the Allegro (0:20); the brooding majesty of the Adagio (3:30), complete with the perfectly embellished phrygian cadence (4:48-5:03)...then, the sprightly but dignified Vivace. The chemistry between the two principal violinists is such a joy to watch. Who could manage not to smile at 8:39 as they kick off the Allegro with an exuberant race to the finish line! THIS is what I want to do when I grow up!
I understood nothing you wrote.. but are tears understanding enough? I'm a blue collar temp. Made ruthlessly spirt of for loving Baroque music. I understand HR depts find 'Art Majors' the silly ones who can't figure out what we want. What do I want? THIS and John Dowland music.
,@@lynnodonnell4764 I say your tears are most definitely evidence of your understanding. Pay no attention to those "cultural philistines" (my favorite phrase from my folk musician friend), The wonderful thing about the internet is you can increase your knowledge at your own pace. To paraphrase Auntie Mame, "Music is a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death".
Thank you for promoting your work here in the true hifi bitrate that it requires -- and for having such brilliant audio engineers to do sonic justice to the power and delicacy of your performance.
Lindísima pieza del barroco, y una excelente interpretación de éste formidable ensamble musical Voices of Music. Uno de los máximos exponentes del barroco, Arcangelo Corelli.
La musica di Corelli è sostenuta da una ispirazione purissima e nobilissima, da un equilibrio perfetto, e la sua straordinaria bellezza non impedisce che all'ascolto sia di una luminosa facilità e semplicità. Una vera emozione.
Marvellous playing. Particularly the two violins in the allegro where their musical conversation is exquisitely modulated. The egos of the virtuosi soloists are completely subordinated to the spirit and beauty of Corelli’s genius. Another triumph of intimate musicality.
I would have to hear it live -- recording aren't necessarily remotely accurate. But wonderful playing. I'd like to take lessons from Blumenstock and I don't even play period instrument.
I am not so sure to agree fully with you. Nevertheless, for sure, it is an interesting experience to hear these brillant oncrtos on period instrumants.
@@gerardbegni2806 'Interesting experiment'!? My friend, these are the instruments for which this music was written: rich in overtones, a kaleidoscope of color and expression. The experiment has been hearing them played on the dull, distorted, sadly mutilated instruments of our misguided modern day orchestras.
Perfect music, well balanced, understood, executed with a spirit that probably exceeds what was expected by the author himself. Marvellous well rendered piece of great music. Thanks for giving so much pleasure
Respekt und ein Dankeschön an die hervorragenden Musiker + (-innen)! Diese Komposition von Arcangelo Corelli ist für mich mit Worten nicht zu beschreiben! Demut und Tränen der Freude usw. ein Meisterstück der Vollkommenheit ! Bravo! Sollte ich einmal, in die ewige Stadt kommen, ein Besuch seiner Grabstätte a must!
Every single one of your performances has such a rich tone and flows so smoothly. I can't say enough how great you guys are. Keep playing amazing music.
Each of the violins and violas have such a beautiful, distinct voice! Such a wonderful recording. It's so cheery. Baroque music to me sounds so celestial.
Thank you for the Corelli. His concerti grossi deserve to be performed much more often than they are. Even the concerti written in minor keys just sparkle. Plus, it’s great fun if you play the concertato parts. (I’m a professional cellist and have had that joy many times.)🎵
This is a special performance of one of the greatest concerti. So precise and well articulated with subtle dynamic changes. Music of the heavens. Thanks Corelli.
This is embarrassing to admit, but I had never heard of Corelli until a couple of hours ago. Sadly, my family didn't listen to classic music. I really don't know much about music, but I can I can tell you that I do like this! I've looked up some music by this man, and it is great! Does VoM have recordings Corelli's music?
Guy Lewis Corelli is a fantastic composer who is well worth investigating; a few suggestions: 12 Violin Sonatas Opus 5 - Arguably, the greatest set of violin sonatas ever composed. The two CD set by Andrew Manze (violin) and Richard Egarr (harpsichord) I would place in my top 3 favourite CD’s out of a total of about 1000, it’s that good - both the music itself and the performance! There are other excellent versions available that include the more normal ‘cello in the continuo. 12 Concerti Grossi Opus 6 - influenced almost every concerto grosso written for the rest of the Baroque period, including Handel’s Opus 6 which are of a similar quality. Most recordings are recommendable, you simply need to decide whether you prefer modern or original/authentic instruments, and whether or not you want a chamber size performance or one slightly larger, as indeed Corelli himself used in Rome. Brilliant Classics have a good value and recommendable ‘Corelli Complete Edition’, which includes: Trio Sonatas Opus 1, 2, 3, and 4; Violin Sonatas Opus 5; Concerti Grossi Opus 6; and a few other loose odds and ends. (Most of these works can be found separately too on CD, and on RUclips). Warning: particularly in Opus 5 and Opus 6, you will come across one or two individual movements that quite simply you will count as some of the most memorable and beautiful music you will have heard. Due to there use on films and TV commercials, you may well find that you already ‘know’ them, but simply did not realise they were by Corelli. I’ll leave you to discover then for yourself! Hope that helps.
Renowned violinist and pedagogue, Arcangelo Corelli spent his entire career in Rome. He composed mainly for the church and at the service of cardinals but also powerful patrons. Corelli was a gifted instrumentalist but unlike his contemporaries, the musician did not compose operas or sacred vocal music. His modest output focused essentially on instrumental music and includes five sets of 12 sonatas for one or two violins and also of 12 Concerti Grossi, published posthumously in 1714 as his Opus 6. With this last collection, Corelli stands out as one of the first great masters, along with Giuseppe Torelli, of the concerto grosso. This genre eminently representative of Baroque aesthetics, plays on the opposition between a group of soloists the concertino and ripieno whose numbers can be expanded at will and whose role is to punctuate or reinforce the intervention of the soloists. The fourth concerto is noteworthy for its suave and serene introduction, the exceptionally well-balanced and harmony, and finally the Coda which concludes the last movement. The movements of Opus 6, No. 4 follow the layout of another important type of Baroque instrumental music, the church sonata: slow-fast-slow-fast. The majestic opening of the Adagio sets a festive tone, as to the ensuing Allegro, is a writing contrapuntal in texture, abounding orchestral interactions. The Adagio slow movement, with its gently melody, offers a contrast lyrical reminding of Concerto's opening. Corelli expands the concluding fast section into two movements, both of which are marked by transparent textures and a prevailing feeling of lightnes, an elegant melody unfolds over a propulsive bass line in the Vivace, and the final Allegro is infused with the spirit of the dance. Corelli asserts the independence of the violin with the desire to remain within the limits of the vocal range and a concern for simplicity in the exploitation of the resources of the instrument to which he refuses useless virtuosity. *Lucien*
Great! Corelli is one of my favorites from the Baroque. I actually have a 1735 edition of these concerti published by Walsh & "edited" Pepusch. I always enjoy reading the score while listening. Maybe SOMEDAY I'll finally get to sit in on continuo with these. Thanks again for ALL your videos!
There’s a real majesty to the style of baroque music. I love all forms of classical maybe with the exception of the romantic era but this is truly “spiritual” and moving
Simply stunning. It amazes me that we humans can create instruments, acquire the skills to play each and then combine their various sounds to produce this strange thing called music. Music that is so breathtakingly beautiful, it has the power to command the emotions of the listener. Just magical.
Corelli’s Opus 5 violin sonatas and Opus 6 concerti grossi represent one of those rare occasions in musical history where due to the original, sustained, and inspired music, at a stroke, they rendered all previous music ‘dated’, and influenced all later composers’ work. Haydn’s Opus 20 string quartets, Beethoven’s 3rd symphony, Wagner’s Tristan, and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring - amongst a very small group of others - are works that in the history of western classical music had a similar impact. In this case, the performances are of the same quality as the music; simply outstanding.
I can’t stop watching this - it’s so beautiful- my new favourite piece of baroque music. Almost brings me to tears. Must be an amazing feeling to be able to bring such pleasure to an audience.
Oh so fantastic. Many thanks to the musicians that have put so much time into their flawless performances crafting their skills on their instruments. ❤️
die voices of music besonderst mit den alten instrumenten einen klang erzeugen,der herz und SEELE erfreut.mit über 80 jahren war ich sehr selten so ergriffen GOTTES HEILIGKEIT ALLMACHT UND BARMHERZIGKEIT SEGNE EUCH ALLE IN ZEIT UND EWIGKEIT danhe danke danke herzlichst ihr kirfel
Cuando escucho este concierto, olvido mis problemas cotidianos y me voy a otros mundos. La música del Barroco es simplemente un bálsamo para el alma. Gracias!
Why must play in the consecrated Church? especially in the Holy Place area? (I know the Nave/Holy Place area is the best acoustic)I saw the tabernacle light also lit, then the Real Presence is present there. If must and get permission, the Blessed Sacrament must be moved to somewhere place, maybe sacristy. Other than that, the play is very beautiful
Quelle légèreté alliée à une profondeur majestueuse .'CORELLI .VIVALDI BACh . Un trio de vrais charmeurs qui donne à notre triste vie un parfum d éternité
Absolutely beautiful rendition, as usual. Tried this piece with a small student / professional ensemble this past summer, as an amateur flutist doubling the violins, and gained a new appreciation for the nuances in Baroque music and the challenge of staying true to the style of the era. Now off to listen to this again :)
This wonderful music inspired me to become a professional musician and i like the beautiful performance . Nr 4 is for me the most beautiful concerto grosso ever written . Corelli was a genius! Hugo
Corelli's baroque Concerto in D major performed with the original instruments...what a wonder! A solemn composition so well performed, lyrical while so very precise in intonation. The assemble of the instruments gives the melody such an enrichment of resonance, lyrical phrasing with vibrant rhythm, intensity and gracefulness,
About four years ago this piece saved my life and made me want to pursue violin... Now I'm 2 years into violin and love playing this fast baroque piece... Thanks Corelli
One of the most resonant versions I've ever heard!! Beautifully layered recording!! I'd love to hear you tackle the marvellous Sonates Corellisantes by G.P.Telemann 1735!
Congratulations. A great performance, and what a keenness in the choice of the artwork, because it is indeed one of the Corelli's most remarkable masterpieces. Can't stop listening since it's online! The subtlety itself, in all ways, in every instrument, at every second... It's stunning to notice how the future composers such as Haendel inspired from him. Thanks a lot for these treasures :)
Voices of Music is an outstanding group of truly superb baroque musicians! I live so close to their venue (well, about 45 miles) and for transportation reasons, I haven't been able to enjoy their performances in person since I moved here in 2010. Waaaaa! Waahahahahaaa! Waaaa! Next year, 2022, no matter what, I'm getting tickets and crawling on hands amd knees if I have to, to see and especially hear them perform live! Nothing like live baroque music performed on period instruments with gut strings. The sound is ... sweet, delicious! Years ago there was a group that performed in Santa Monica, California, the Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra - yeah! LAMO! Nooo! Don't go there! They were anything but lame! I never missed a performance until I moved from Los Angeles. Pooo! The musical director was the professor of early music at UCLA. Greg something. So long ago. I left LA in 1995. They were wonderful! Bach, Vivaldi, Händel, Corelli, all the great baroque composers. Superb. Don't know what happened to them. I volunteered for a time ushering and controlling the lights in the chruch. No, I'm no lighting tech. Just turned the lights over the audience down at each performance. One night they were performing Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord, and I got so excited by the piece the* were about to play because I love it that forgot to turn the lights down. I have low self-esteem so this was important to me to even be allowed to take care of the lights. When I realized my goof, I crept back to the reostats and very very slowly dimmed the lights a few minutes into the performance praying that nobody would notice. No one said anything. A simple job it was, but I failed to do it properly. I anticipated a scolding. What a dunce! I felt like a complete fucking idiot. Embarrassed? Uhm, yesh. Horribly. As small a thing as it was, I had let the musicians down. A 5 year old could have done it! It's been about 30 years ago now so I think I can forgive myself. If you have a baroque orchestra in your area, go see them perform! Support them! Donate to their organization if you can, but definitely attend their performances! You won't regret it! I'm not affiliated with VoM in any way (wish I was tho), but I ask you for very selfish reasons (gotta keep them going so I can see them at least once before I die!) that you please make a donation to Voices of Music, too!
I love this so much! They capture the true essence of Corelli, meaning i get a shiver down my spine, especially on that second lively piece when they run down the scale, i see god.. or my imaginary likeness of her.. the goddess calls us home through this music. Ok, i will donate, shit.
I'm not sure what the hype has been about Mozart. When Correlli was the pioneer of the baroque era and through out the ages of great music who was buried in the Pantheon near Raphael. Yet no movie was made about Corelli a musical mastermind. Superb performance by the way.
Adrian Sumner The fact that Corelli is buried in the Pantheon (along with so many Italian greats), tells you pretty much all you need to know about him. Corelli is not as well-known as he should be, he’s one of those figures everyone reads about in the text books but can’t say they’ve heard any of his music. Normally, they are wrong though, some of his stuff is unwittingly known through films, TV commercials or aural wallpaper for example. He’s a fantastic composer and one of the very few in musical history who, when he produced his Opus 5 violin sonatas and Opus 6 concerti grossi, at a stroke, rendered all previous composers’ works ‘dated’ and went on to massively influence the rest of the Baroque era. PS: Corelli’s tomb was the first one I sought out on my first visit to the Pantheon, which is place to stop and pause - it is very special.
There is just no way I can give this more than one thumbs up so it deserves a comment. I am deeply grateful to Italy for giving the world such great geniuses as Arcangelo Corelli and the other great Italians creators of music, painting and sculpture. I don't know Italian so muchas gracias Italy.
Heard this as a bgm in a video describing the mystical powers of brain...and guess what i wasn't able to focus on the video but only the bgm😂 Glad I found this...masterpiece music❤
Some of the instruments are copies of old instruments. The organ in this video has baroque voicing in the pipes and what we think is baroque wind pressure.
Italian baroque is grace, French baroque is grandiose, German baroque is mathematical perfection. Either way baroque is the best that ever was.
Superb characterization of supernal music!
Absolutely
Couldn't agree with you more.
Mathematical perfection very apt.
Agree.
This kind of music uplifts the spirit, stimulates the mind while soothing the nerves, and comforts the heart. The world would be a better place if everyone listened to this soul-nourishing music instead of the garbage that passes for music these days
Yeah
Oui je trouve ça dommage que ce genre de musique ne sois pas plus populaire
Whoever did the recording/sound engineering deserves a raise.
Absolutely, it wii make or break a video ✌️
There were some problems in the vivace part.
Absolutely.
Give the building a raise too!
@@TheMajortanner hell yes
My father taught me to appreciate baroque music when I was a teenager. My father had the patience with me I have tried to have with my children. I really miss him.
did u know Beethoven was black
Be blessed. I hope you have a great relationship with your children through music.
I discovered this music on an old 78 rpm when I was 7. Seventy years later I still love it!
There were Corelli recordings on 78 discs, even E. Power Biggs, I have never heard one!
I discovered this music on an old 8-track when I was 8.
88 years later _I_ still love it too.
One of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard. The first movement sounds like when my wife smiles at me.
What a charming and wonderful metaphor!
You are a lucky man, treat her well!
Dude heck no this music sucks
Can I just say how fucking lucky she is to have you
The acoustics in that room are beautiful

The music is sublime and allows us to be transported beyond the problems of our lives, transmitting the pleasure and joy of that. The orchestration is superb. Bravo for this interpretation.
Don't forget Scarlatti D and A,Pergolesi,Durante,Leonardo Leo,Porpora,and much more.......
I think this channel has thoroughly convinced me that the Baroque Era was the best classical era.
Yeah, it was 😍 The Romantic Era was also great, but Baroque was better
You're absolutely right it was golden music period
I too am a huge fan of Baroque music... please don't try to fix it.
I've been convinced since at least early adolescence. Nothing matches the Baroque. Structure and creativity united.
@@liamschurmans6317 I often think that I can hear echoes of the Baroque in some of the great Romantic composers. Do you?
I really believe that some music was arranged in heaven for us humans and sent to earth to give us a glimpse of heaven.
Very well said !! Me TOO !!!
Perhaps...or maybe the music originated as an esp transferance from our mother star system, most likely from the proxima centauri binary...❤
-One- _*two*_million views! Thanks, everyone! (And 130 million on our channel....)
Very well deserved!
You deserve nothing less! The performance and interpretation was flawless... and beautiful! ;-)
believe me ,this piece deserves 100 billion views, just not enough people on earth to appreciate Corelli !

Fantastici Corelli e "Voci della Musica" :-)) (= Voices of Music). Ciao dall'Italia
ARCANGELO CORELLI IL MAESTRO DEL BAROCCO = ARCANGELO CORELLI THE MASTER OF THE BAROQUE
Vincenzo Galluccio Puoi dirlo forte!
in my opinion, this is the best interpretation ever
Thanks so much!
Too bad the video ends before we can hear the thunderous applause...
A lot of people don't want the applause so we take it out of some of the videos.....I sort of miss it.
I bet people were clapping their ass off for this one. I know I would!
Oh so fantastic. Many thanks to the musicians that have put so much time into their flawless performances crafting their skills on their instruments. ❤️
Very very beautiful thanks for posting. Does anybody know the name of the instrument that looks like guitar? Thanks in advance a great day to you
Arciliuto
Muchas gracias por vuestra interpretación de tan hermosa música que me acompaña mientras trabajo!! Desde Santiago de Chile un abrazo fraterno!!
¡Qué bien interpreta a Corelli este conjunto! Hermoso y casi perfecto sonido.
Я у захваті від прекрасної музики і виконання! БРАВО оркестру!!!
Дякую!
Corelli è il faro che ha indicato il percorso di tutto il concertismo occidentale!
You all played this so beautifully! One of my favorite pieces and amazing to see mostly women playing as well.
die voices of music besonderst mit den alten instrumenten einen klang erzeugen,der herz und SEELE erfreut.mit über 80 jahren war ich sehr selten so ergriffen GOTTES HEILIGKEIT ALLMACHT UND BARMHERZIGKEIT SEGNE EUCH ALLE IN ZEIT UND EWIGKEIT danhe danke danke herzlichst ihr kirfel
Cuando escucho este concierto, olvido mis problemas cotidianos y me voy a otros mundos. La música del Barroco es simplemente un bálsamo para el alma. Gracias!
Why must play in the consecrated Church? especially in the Holy Place area? (I know the Nave/Holy Place area is the best acoustic)I saw the tabernacle light also lit, then the Real Presence is present there. If must and get permission, the Blessed Sacrament must be moved to somewhere place, maybe sacristy.
Other than that, the play is very beautiful
We are careful to follow all the guidance from the Churches in which we play.
Quelle légèreté alliée à une profondeur majestueuse .'CORELLI .VIVALDI BACh . Un trio de vrais charmeurs qui donne à notre triste vie un parfum d éternité
Interpretação, sonoridade de época, filmagens e a qualidade pessoal de cada musicista são acima da média... Belíssimo...
Absolutely beautiful rendition, as usual. Tried this piece with a small student / professional ensemble this past summer, as an amateur flutist doubling the violins, and gained a new appreciation for the nuances in Baroque music and the challenge of staying true to the style of the era. Now off to listen to this again :)
Dear god, this heavenly music.
This wonderful music inspired me to become a professional musician and i like
the beautiful performance . Nr 4 is for me the most beautiful concerto grosso ever written .
Corelli was a genius! Hugo
Fabulous, so beautiful that made me cry. Baroque is my frequency of resonance
phys_BR made me cry too......I am a big crybaby and beautiful art has a real effect on me
Such a beautiful performance..the dynamics are so present and a great recording 😊🤝
Thank you very much!
Es realmente una joya de la música y susinterpretes un prodigio para y por nuestro deleite.... Felicitaciones....
Me encanta, está interpretación es hermosisima, gracias por ser tan talentosos músicos de Voices of Music
Verrukkelijk...…..geen ander woord voor
Impeccable ! c'est aérien, lyrique, fluide, enrichissant, achevé , fusionnel, grandiose !
Corelli's baroque Concerto in D major performed with the original instruments...what a wonder! A solemn composition so well performed, lyrical while so very precise in intonation. The assemble of the instruments gives the melody such an enrichment of resonance, lyrical phrasing with vibrant rhythm, intensity and gracefulness,
Qué exquisita interpretación!!! Gracias por compartirla . Un saludo desde Buenos Aires Argentina
About four years ago this piece saved my life and made me want to pursue violin... Now I'm 2 years into violin and love playing this fast baroque piece... Thanks Corelli
Cycling to the university and observing how the beauty and harmony of nature is in beauty and harmony with this music.
LOVE IT!!! Beautiful sound, fantastic vitality and incredible clarity. LOVE IT!! Arcangelo is bowing at you!
Thank you. so much.
One of the most resonant versions I've ever heard!! Beautifully layered recording!! I'd love to hear you tackle the marvellous Sonates Corellisantes by G.P.Telemann 1735!
Congratulations. A great performance, and what a keenness in the choice of the artwork, because it is indeed one of the Corelli's most remarkable masterpieces. Can't stop listening since it's online! The subtlety itself, in all ways, in every instrument, at every second... It's stunning to notice how the future composers such as Haendel inspired from him. Thanks a lot for these treasures :)
OMG, I had this piece in an old classical music playlist and the video was removed :( thank the heavens I found you guys!!!!
JESUS PLEURE DE JOIE QUAND IL VOUS ECOUTE....MOI AUSSI...
Just when you think it just can't get any better, a piece like this one comes along.
The Allegro part is a hit. The entire piece is one of the best renditions of this particular opus I've ever heard .
Voices of Music is an outstanding group of truly superb baroque musicians! I live so close to their venue (well, about 45 miles) and for transportation reasons, I haven't been able to enjoy their performances in person since I moved here in 2010. Waaaaa! Waahahahahaaa! Waaaa!
Next year, 2022, no matter what, I'm getting tickets and crawling on hands amd knees if I have to, to see and especially hear them perform live! Nothing like live baroque music performed on period instruments with gut strings. The sound is ... sweet, delicious!
Years ago there was a group that performed in Santa Monica, California, the Los Angeles Baroque Orchestra - yeah! LAMO! Nooo! Don't go there! They were anything but lame! I never missed a performance until I moved from Los Angeles. Pooo! The musical director was the professor of early music at UCLA. Greg something. So long ago. I left LA in 1995. They were wonderful! Bach, Vivaldi, Händel, Corelli, all the great baroque composers. Superb. Don't know what happened to them. I volunteered for a time ushering and controlling the lights in the chruch. No, I'm no lighting tech. Just turned the lights over the audience down at each performance. One night they were performing Bach's Sonatas for Violin and Harpsichord, and I got so excited by the piece the* were about to play because I love it that forgot to turn the lights down. I have low self-esteem so this was important to me to even be allowed to take care of the lights. When I realized my goof, I crept back to the reostats and very very slowly dimmed the lights a few minutes into the performance praying that nobody would notice. No one said anything. A simple job it was, but I failed to do it properly. I anticipated a scolding. What a dunce! I felt like a complete fucking idiot. Embarrassed? Uhm, yesh. Horribly. As small a thing as it was, I had let the musicians down. A 5 year old could have done it! It's been about 30 years ago now so I think I can forgive myself.
If you have a baroque orchestra in your area, go see them perform! Support them! Donate to their organization if you can, but definitely attend their performances! You won't regret it! I'm not affiliated with VoM in any way (wish I was tho), but I ask you for very selfish reasons (gotta keep them going so I can see them at least once before I die!) that you please make a donation to Voices of Music, too!
I love the musicality of this piece and the interpretation. you don't need vibrato to make it sound more musical!
I love this so much! They capture the true essence of Corelli, meaning i get a shiver down my spine, especially on that second lively piece when they run down the scale, i see god.. or my imaginary likeness of her.. the goddess calls us home through this music. Ok, i will donate, shit.
Thank so much!
So much passion from all of the players
Gracias la música barroca transporta el alma.
Bravo , that was amazing :) I enjoyed that very much !!
donate to.this amazing group
There isn't and won't be anything like baroque music. This is pure magic.
Agreed!
Im so Baroque i cant stand it !!
@@darkone9572 That is why I am a Barocker!
Still love me some Zeppelin tho !!
I'm not sure what the hype has been about Mozart. When Correlli was the pioneer of the baroque era and through out the ages of great music who was buried in the Pantheon near Raphael. Yet no movie was made about Corelli a musical mastermind. Superb performance by the way.
Adrian Sumner The fact that Corelli is buried in the Pantheon (along with so many Italian greats), tells you pretty much all you need to know about him.
Corelli is not as well-known as he should be, he’s one of those figures everyone reads about in the text books but can’t say they’ve heard any of his music. Normally, they are wrong though, some of his stuff is unwittingly known through films, TV commercials or aural wallpaper for example. He’s a fantastic composer and one of the very few in musical history who, when he produced his Opus 5 violin sonatas and Opus 6 concerti grossi, at a stroke, rendered all previous composers’ works ‘dated’ and went on to massively influence the rest of the Baroque era.
PS: Corelli’s tomb was the first one I sought out on my first visit to the Pantheon, which is place to stop and pause - it is very special.
Espectacular,ese comienzo es memorable,muy bien interpretado,fluido y bien expresivo!!
Thank you.
You're one of my favorite ensembles utterly :)
I love this piece and performance so much -- I come back here any time I need to brighten my day :)
There is just no way I can give this more than one thumbs up so it deserves a comment. I am deeply grateful to Italy for giving the world such great geniuses as Arcangelo Corelli and the other great Italians creators of music, painting and sculpture. I don't know Italian so muchas gracias Italy.
Heard this as a bgm in a video describing the mystical powers of brain...and guess what i wasn't able to focus on the video but only the bgm😂
Glad I found this...masterpiece music❤
I've never turned back from baroque music since I first heard it in my teens. Pure joy!
Wonderful. But is it original the pipe organ too??
Some of the instruments are copies of old instruments. The organ in this video has baroque voicing in the pipes and what we think is baroque wind pressure.
