Vivaldi's Four Seasons is arguably the most phenominal composition of musical genius ever composed. Thank God it was rediscovered.
I have been listening to Vivaldi for nearly 30 years but have only recently begun looking into the composer's life; I always knew that Vivaldi was an inactive Catholic priest but always assumed that this was because he was some type of cloistered, aristocratic musician who lived in the Vatican and composed music rather than saying mass. Far from it. It is amazing to me that Vivaldi was able to write such glorious music whilst living such a tenuous existence. Given the poverty that Vivaldi was eventually to die in, it is an indictment of his society that a man whose music so many enjoy today was left to an early grave and virtual obscurity.
So sad that so many composers, musicians, artists, writers etc died impoverished and then became rediscovered and made famous hundreds of years later......
I agree... But I'm glad they get rediscovered so people today can listen to these great works... 😊
It is something to ponder on dont you think ?
We live in a society that forgot the importance of art. In ancient Egypt, professional sculptors were royal and painters as well.
@@shawnsam5602 how is art important to humanity ? You're centuries behind
Thanks for the bio. Vivaldi deserves more recognition.
As a school project, we are doing a biography on a famous composer and I chose Vivaldi. This video helped immensely, thank you!
same
I first heard the four seasons at school in 1960. What a way to start a life of enjoyment of music! What an enlightened teacher!
Great presentation! Enjoyed learning about the man behind the music.
Fate is funny sometimes; he became a priest, something that would have prevented him from composing music for the most part. But more intriguing is his asthma; he could have chosen a woodwind or other types of instruments, which might have changed the course of musical history Thank you!
I am a choreographer creating new works and it's been incredible to study Vivaldi's masterpiece" Four Seasons." Thank you for taking an interest in his work!
I grew up with Vivaldi, and now my kids are. Thanks for this!
Ahhh, so your the guy who uploaded the most viewed classical music video on yt. Ty for your upload, I can’t tell you how many times the 4 seasons brightened up my mood!
Love the biographies you do.
Very informative and interesting. I love classical and Vivaldi is among the best in my opinion. Thank you so much for sharing
For audiophiles/hi-res fans, the Vivaldi recordings on the Naïve Classics label are stellar, and also there's my absolute favourite for sound quality + great performance: those by violinist Rachel Podger on the Channel Classics label. Flawless!
Audiophiles? Isn't that what Benjamin Britten was?

Vivaldi, My Boy.
dont tell Beethoven i said that.
Orion Von Walker hi Hugo's hiuou ti
@@orionvonwalker1431 LOL
@@orionvonwalker1431 HAHAHAHA
Always thought vivaldi was a girl
Thank you for this comprehensive glimpse into the life of an amazing artist. Just goes to show that profound beauty transcends time and mainstream opinions. Watching L'Invierno performed is so powerful, I had to know more about it's creator
It just amazes me how all these composers could possibly fall into obscurity and then be found centuries later. Thank God for the written word or note.
My 2 yr old sister likes to watch little eintines and when she goes to sleep i always put on videos from your channel. She loves classical music! Keep doing a great job!
That's a great honor; thank you for sharing that!
Thank you for making this video! We enjoyed it today during our homeschooling time. I appreciate the work you’ve done. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent content and presentation! I needed a refresher on Vivaldi and this is wonderful. I remember listening to the Four Seasons in winter with the snow falling and feeling the magic of the music and the moment.
Thanks for this fascinating account of Vivaldi! I started the video thinking I would just watch it for a few moments "to get a flavor.". I ended up watching the whole thing. Thanks!!
Very educational, so much attention to detail. Thank you for your time and effort in making the vlog.
Thank You so much for your wonderful video! I am a voice teacher, and I have two students singing "Esurientes" for winter recital. I wanted to know more about one of my favorite composers. I had no idea about some of the information you shared. Much appreciated!
Absolutely loved it. Thanks for your efforts. Love history and learning about the details of a person's life long ago...
Thank you very much for creating this video! I absolutely LOVE Vivaldi, He is one of my favourite composers, I just can't get enough of him. My other very best is Beethoven, I know there have been a lot of research on His life, but I would appreciate a compilation like this in your translation.

Thank you for this. I am only slowly getting into classical music and know next to nothing about most of these famous composers.
Looking for some nonintrusive background music during my studies a neighbor let me copy some classical compilation CD's. While resting and in the 'zone' a vision of walking through the forest in fallen leaves came to mind. When I looked to see what was playing it was Antonio Vivaldi's Autumn. I listen to a lot of classical music (Besides classic Rock and Roll!) with Vivaldi my favorite. Another of my faves is Shostakovich. What a story he lived! Eric Satie as well. Satie's life, as some of his works, was an enigma of its own.
So thanks for uploading this and it's ok if you didn't have the time to do that edit. Small distraction from the overall excellent production.
Love, Vivaldi❤️❤️❤️Amazing how many composers died not knowing how long their works would be played! Imagine if you brought them back to see Satellite radio and RUclips and Symphony cast on Sirius or The Mozart buffet everyday on our local KBAQ... they would need smelling salts!!
Thank you for making this biography 💙✨️
thank you for both videos! I fall asleep to your four seasons video almost every night so I'm glad this informative video was then suggested for me to watch! glad I did! oh btw I think winter is the best! hehe! you should do one on chopin if you get some time!! thanks again!
Thank you so much. Your work is so beautiful and useful for everyone. Thanks again for the sharing. With many appreciates.
Great vid, man, thanks! Very informative.
I just got into classical music... Vivaldi's works just stuck with me... I dunno why... They just did.
we need to tell the music teacher our favourite composer and I choose Vivaldi after you told me all this. thanks!
thank you very much for all the work put into this wonderful creation !!!
Thank you very much. Nice job. I’ve always loved Vivaldi.
I just want to say that i really like your voice and thank you a lot for the videos..Greetings from Perú!!
Excellent. Thank you!!
Thank you for this video. I am a big fan of Vivaldi and I was looking for an account of his life and work.
Bravo!

Quite fascinating. Thanks for this!
Your presentation was wonderful. Vivaldi would of appreciated your work as much as you appreciate his. I have subscribed you your channel. Keep up the good work. In these days of trying times we could all use a little peaceful work.
Ahhh a tragic end for such a great man. Hayden didn't even bother playing at his funeral. :=(
He was a choir boy back in time
Haydn was all of 9 years old when Vivaldi died.
Haydn was a lazy bastard!
Got to ask mate, is this a true story? Seriously Haydn was a strange guy really, we know nothing about him as a man which makes his Music so indifferent but I imagine him to be quite a horrible bastard, he certainly did not give his wife a good marriage.
spring & summer are the best, great video btw, I really learned alot :)
wonderful, thank you!!
This video DESERVES more views! Folks, MORE views!
Yes. Thank you!
Great job! Thank you so much!
Thank You for the fine commentary.
I like your video its good and easy for someone like myself to have a starting point Thanks REN
Online Class Club, social distancing has made me watch this.
BEAUTIFUL
Great job! I learned a lot.
Thank you for this.
Very well explanation :) thanks 🙏
Very interesting short bio, I adore Vivaldi as many others.
About the 2012 spike in view, I maybe have a theory. Could be relevant to the re-work of the four seasons by Max richter maybe. Anyways thanks for your work.
Thank you for this overview- i homeschool my 3rd and 7th grade boys, and Vivaldi is listed in our curriculum. This was perfect!
That’s covered- drums and guitar and we have a piano and a violin. So we’re building!
Wow this is actually good
Thank you for the efforts
Oh thank you as i only listen to 4 sea soms when im about to go crazy. Ik should check his other work as well. Once again thank you.
I enjoyed your video. Thank you
I was reading comments and the music struck me so I went to the video and it was when you were talking about the four seasons which one is it? It's really the greatest it just stimulates your feelings by the fastness of it amazing
I would like to know more about music and philosophy, how they go hand in hand, how they described some philosophical aspects, and influenced people's lives. Thank you 🤗
Nice work. A brilliant mind, met with a tragic end.
You have no breathing problems now...Ora pro nobis, Padre Antonio!!!! I love you...thanks!!

Yo tight work! I aint know he was a priest😱 that shit crae ! I'm33 i been listening 2 Vivaldi since a youngster. I ABSOLUTELY love him ! I do rap music but there is now violin hip hop. Wich is something i listen 2 eryday! Thanx 4 dat video
My left ear really enjoyed this video
Thanks also for sharing the video's analytics ;)
May I know the name of the piece played till 1.35 mins ?
Can you out the sources in the description? Would help anyone like me doing a project on Vivaldi.
The video is amazing
Nice job
We used to play the recording called "Vivaldi-Music Minus One Violin". Haven't seen it anywhere lately; Violinists could practice either the first or second along with the other audible violin; Easy to imagine playing it live back then, yes ? Amalie Smith, an excellent violinist in her own right (Champaign Urbana-Illinois) used to play along with her father's " String Choir" students; thus the idea for a little cello player who gets up on stage to play along with the first four presidents. Yep...INSPIRATION is what it's all about. Her brother George Louie Como Smith, brought most of the humor to "our" string quartets... may he RIP. I'm hoping Amalie sees her name here. Her name SHOULD be in "Lights!"
"Honey Visits With the Famous First Four" as " Time Goes By".
Still prefer Winter
fight me
u fokn wot m8
Winter is so expressive...it has a mournful note that is just so accurate.
With you, my friend.
Winter is my favourite Season. YEAH
I'll support u bruh
Please do more videos like these !!!
+Tom George I plan on doing a video on Gesualdo, Schnittke, and maybe Stockhauser. Just be on the look out!

🎵😼Good job 🐭🎶
Where is the transcript and the captions,?!
it it hard to understand what was said in the video.
If only he could have known, how successful his 4 seasons would become..
Thanks for this. Im such a fan of Antys work. Its not hard to like. He wrote such accessible music.
Magic
Well done. Wonderful, thank you.
Just a side note for next time; for me, the background music was too loud and a little overpowering, hard to focus). Cheers :)
Concerto for two violins in a minor is my daily prayer.

VIVA VIVALDI
The recording was a meh. not because it was bad but because it just wasn't very clear. Whaat you said though and what I could hear both music and your voice was very good though. Great job.
O my red priest of music why didn't I listen you before?
