this is the second time i’ve heard spoken word being used in a violin concerto (the other by james macmillan but i didn’t find it convincing unlike here) and it’s quite riveting it’s also rather uncommon to find a composer who genuinely admires vivaldi which is a shame since the guy had tons of ideas and also had to write a ton of pieces for his job bach was certainly a fan himself and it’s abt time vivaldi finally gets his due as a great composer beyond the four seasons
@@thijmenkrijgsman2417 Rzewski uses talking in some of his (piano) pieces as well. The piece with the Rubinstein memoirs for instance, I have forgotten the title. And Kagel springs also to minds, Recitativarie e.g.
@@christophedevos3760 hahahaha thanks for the comment! (I should have been clearer I wanted to respond to ColinWrubleski-eq5sh) Because I don’t think that a soloist talking and playing is too stupid for words…
The piece is nice and all, but DAMN do I not understand the soloist's decision of playing without vibrato _so_ often. It makes the intonation all wonky, especially in the 1st and 4th movements. And it's kind of inconsistent too, there are several passages where there's plenty of very good vibrato. If it's an instruction by Andriessen, I definitely missed it.

Same goes for Scarlatti......BRAVO from Mexico City!
Thanks very much.

What does the “on the string” indication mean?
It's an indication to not lift the bow from the strings when articulating each note
@@Cmaj7 So you change bow direction every note?
The idea of having the solo violinists talk and bray as well play is just too stupid for words....
It doesn't bother me, it reminds me of Rzewski.
Why? (I’m quite curious😊)

Andriessen asked for no vibrato except in expressivo marked sections (written on bottom of first page of score there’s instructions)
@@alumpyhorse oh ok, thanks for the info!
