The guy that compose this !!! His brain must be as big as a 10 story building !! And then this beautiful lady presented it with perfection, Enjoy that immensely !!
I wept at the sheer humanity of this performance. Her fellow musicians clearly love, admire, and are inspired by Ms. Youssefian. The looks of joy and aliveness on their faces make me feel like life is worth living again. This is what humans can do - make music like this. It gives us great worth and meaning as a species. I hope that Ms. Youssefian and her fellow musicians are leading happy lives. I wish and pray for this.
My teacher always said playing a bowed instrument is like dancing with your arms. I have never seeing this come to life as much as Alana displays here, such beauty.
Alana Youssefian is very impressive. She makes all of those rapid key shifts look insanely easy... and they really, really aren't. Don't believe me? Just look at the reactions of the cellists @ 4:54 . Almost as though to say "Okay, now she's just showing off" LOL. Simply a phenomenal display of her mastery over the violin. VoM complements her play quite nicely. Beautifully played. Thank you very much for posting this. As always, I'm looking forward to more.
Ed Thompson Yeah, when I watch really great performances I think: ‘I need to go practice my violin.’ Then when I consider how beautiful the performance is, I think: ‘Why bother?”
Vivaldi is incredible but the way Alana plays the solo is sublime. Listening to this music I can say that the human is able to do extraordinary things like this. The sound is amazing too. Thank you for your music and talent (all musicians) . Gracias, sois geniales.i
Stunning recording n the accompanists..all top notch!!Recorded in a church... The acoustics unparalleled!! One is promoted to the heavenly realm...THE HEAVENS EILL SURELY TAKE A VOW!!
Alana Youssefian plays so amazingly beautifully. I cannot comprehend how she must understand the music, but when I hear her play, I feel like I can glean some small inkling of what it is like to truly feel the music. Bravo.
Wow, stunning performance! Alana really is the #BaroqueLadyGaga! Strange that I've never heard this piece before, being a huge Vivaldi fan. Thank you for your lovely performance and introducing me to this extraordinary work!
Not so strange, really. Vivaldi wrote, what? something like 300 concertos. Even if you found a recorded set of all of them (is there even such a thing?) you'd have a hard time remembering them all.
Once again voices of music produce a phenomenal video, Alana Yousselfian gave a stunning performance as did the rest of the group. Voices of music is the best classical channel on RUclips, period.👍👍👍👍👍👍😊
Voices of Music & their virtuoso guest violinists like Cynthia Freivogel & here Alana Y, have opened my ears to Vivaldi ! Ive never really been drawn in by Vivaldi - (Four Seasons has been played a billion times! ) but hearing these kinds of performances by VoM, Alana , Cynthia et al , I've come to an epiphany that Antonio Vivaldi is in fact an underrated genius! The solo cadenza section at 3:27 onwards with the final flourish is AWESOME! 👏👏👍😃
I really like how free Alana looks without the chin rest and shoulder rest on the violin, so many violinists are locked into the instrument with shoulder rest contraptions like the Bonmusica, she is free to move but it must make holding the violin steady harder.
The agility of the Baroque Bow makes playing acrobatic and rapid passages appear like playful dancing on the wings of delight in the hands of a skilled musician. A joy today watch and hear. Thanks
From an old Army cook, now a desert dwelling artist, absolutley astounding! I'm painting this morning and had music on my PC for relaxation. Never heard this before and had to stop what I was doing! Now, I hope I can take up where ever I left off!
Magnificent, dynamic, passionate, gracious, and stunningly beautiful. Her stage presence and artistic abilities shown with nuances with her: smile, beholden eyes to deliver her best performance, brings pure joy to hear and see. She is so alive, ...I don't know how she actually goes to.... sleep. Irresistible captivating energy with her violin and Baroque Vivaldi masterpiece.
Witnessing the emergence and maturity of the early music movement has been one of the great joys of my life. This group are really high voltage and gives a real feeling to how the great seventeenth musicians might have played.
Incredible performance, Alana and the whole ensemble. Such a delight to hear another great concerto from Vivaldi, brought to life by this awesome ensemble! Thank you!
I never heard Barock or Classical Music in my Lifetime ! Till I heard the first Time Vivaldi ...and then I was a Vivaldi Freak ! For me the music from Vivaldi is amazing and I can hear it always and anytime ! It's fantastic...
As a Vivaldi's huge fan who never listened to this before I wonder how many other hidden pearls are there waiting to be listened... Thanks Voies of Music for bringing to light such an amazing composition!
The trouble with Vivaldi and Telemann, amongst others, they composed too much, so much so it is a struggle to get a quality handle on their compositions. It is niot like the 9 symphonies of Beethoven.
Making music at its finest. Thanks and much joy to all involved. I've only just, at the fourth viewing, noticed Elizabeth Blumenstock's expression watching her pupil at work.
Great rendition of this concerto! I have generally been a foe of Baroque music played too fast - but Ms. Youssefian plays it with such clarity that the music isn't muddled; it is a testimony to the proper playing of Baroque music. And of course the Voices of Music complements her playing very well.
Je suis toujours stupéfait de l'extrême qualité sonore chez "Voices of music" (en ayant chez soi, de surcroît, une bonne enceinte). Cela sonne très clair, parfois sec mais avec une rondeur généreuse dans les basses, sans compter l'interprétation majestueuse et respectueuse. Bravo pour votre travail.
Madame je vous félicite, votre prestation est éblouissante, il en est de même des musiciens qui vous accompagnent. Encore bravo votre virtuosité n'a d'égal que votre beauté , encore👏👏❤
Alana, a passionate about your violin virtuosity writes to you, I was born in the city of violins CREMONA, and I have a good ear to know how violins sound, his passion and virtuosity moves me to tears, he is also choosing one of the best authors of music for violin, Antonio Vivaldi…BRAVA!!!!!
That was all too amazing. Those harmonics in the cadenza were perfect. I felt like the music was really alive and not just read off the page. Great ensemble as well. Thanks
Fantastisk , alte Musikus , es gibt zwei , drei Musikus jedes Jahrhundert wie Vivaldi . Ich ging zu einem Pianoleher für einige Jahre und viel Stress und nois und meine Frau sagte , du bist kein Wunderkind.
Alana I love this video and I've watched it many times. You remind me why I love to play the violin and just how beautifully satisfying, the baroque period is. Andrew
Youssefein is exceptional dynamic expressive bright radiates confidence virtuosity and happiness to viewers. Lovely person of fine traditional qualities. Admirer from India.
This is who Wanda Landowska would reincarnate as. She obviously appreciates the frivolity engrained in this work and attacks with utter confidence, elan and panache! Wowser!
One million views! Thanks, everyone! 🔥🔥🔥🎉🎉🎉
Maravilha....
Massive Tx 2 U Voices ❤
Well deserved! Bravo!
Who is Anna this superb violinist.
Please gi ve some details.
Don't mention it 🙂
Vivaldi was so metal.
The guy that compose this !!! His brain must be as big as a 10 story building !! And then this beautiful lady presented it with perfection, Enjoy that immensely !!
The guy is Antonio Vivaldi. 🎻
I love the woman in the silver dress.
NOBODY plays like Alana !! She's just got such SOUL in her playing and brings everything she plays TO LIFE !!! 🎻👍
That violin solo was INSANE!
Alana is completely crazy. Playing with such humour and skill and virtuosity!
Alana Youssefian is amazing. Absolute control...yet she seems to want to break into dance. I've never seen a violinist with a 'rock star' swagger.
Fun music!

OMG, the cadenza. He just couldn't help torturing violinists with crazy notes. She nailed it! Her bow was stable as a mountain.
My teacher always said playing a bowed instrument is like dancing with your arms. I have never seeing this come to life as much as Alana displays here, such beauty.
The recording ambience really brings out the very high quality of the performances to me.

:). I studied just enough violin in middle school and high school to know how insanely difficult it is to play *this* well. Hats off to her!!
His eyebrows while she is doing that insanely high part at 5:00!
[cries in viola]
And without a shoulder rest too. 😭😭😭
She's very beautiful and yet talented but a great praise goes to the entire Ensemble plus the sound engineer for putting such a marvelous sound
Wow! I love the expression on her face at 3:47. She's really enjoying the moment. 🎼🎶
This group' plays Vivaldi the best!
@@sofiabessonova2214 they play everything the best😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Yep. It's like she's saying, "helloooooo .... ?" I've never seen anyone play the violin like this. Piano, yes -- violin, no. Exceptional talent!
Don't what to say except that this is a stunning moment. I literally did a LOL on my second viewing.
That cadenza was amazing.
Vivaldi is incredible but the way Alana plays the solo is sublime. Listening to this music I can say that the human is able to do extraordinary things like this. The sound is amazing too. Thank you for your music and talent (all musicians) . Gracias, sois geniales.i
Oh, and all the performers onstage in this video are """""""""current''''''''''''''''' artists.
wow, that is impressive. And the high quality video and audio really lets it shine. beautiful performance.
She is clearly enjoying playing this! What a wonderful solo and her facial expressions were a delight to watch!
Vivaldi came alive for me today. Incredible playing.
Saw her live tonight, and she was superb. Her rendition of Vivaldi concertos is magnificent. The entire ensemble delivered.
Join us for our concerts December 20-23 and January 25-27 and you can hear Alana perform again!
@@VoicesofMusic . Where?
Magnificent performance, Vivaldi is my favorite.
The recording was excellent and it’s good for the audiophiles to enjoy it through their HiFi gears ‼️👍👏🎻🎶🎼🎵🎹
I come back to this video often because it never isn't awesome.
Stunning recording n the accompanists..all top notch!!Recorded in a church... The acoustics unparalleled!! One is promoted to the heavenly realm...THE HEAVENS EILL SURELY TAKE A VOW!!
From now on I'm Alana's fan. What a great performance!
When she played Spring, I lost it xD
Magnifico Vivaldi....Bravissimi. Esecuzione perfetta ❤🎼🎻🎻🎻🎶🎶🎶🎶🤗
The musicians are loving the violist's playing. All those smiles during her solo
Alana Youssefian plays so amazingly beautifully. I cannot comprehend how she must understand the music, but when I hear her play, I feel like I can glean some small inkling of what it is like to truly feel the music. Bravo.
Wow, stunning performance! Alana really is the #BaroqueLadyGaga! Strange that I've never heard this piece before, being a huge Vivaldi fan. Thank you for your lovely performance and introducing me to this extraordinary work!
Please....don't associate lady gafa or whatever it is with her
@@saeidyazdani just let them? Ian's not the only one who thinks so, Lady Gaga is a very big artist..
@@saeidyazdani Thank you for your words
@@mrmensje1 yes, but she are 2 different persons

The violinist, the band, the quality of the overall performance is magnificent!! Waw!!
One of the top choirs in the world, without a doubt.
Alana Youssefian is an exquisite violinist. Her playing looks so effortless yet produces such glorious music.
The cadenza! Right up into the rosin with flawless accuracy. Bravo, ma'am!
I really like how free Alana looks without the chin rest and shoulder rest on the violin, so many violinists are locked into the instrument with shoulder rest contraptions like the Bonmusica, she is free to move but it must make holding the violin steady harder.

I think of Vivaldi as the Italian Bach. Great performance!
What a way to start the morning off!
I read somewhere that Vivaldi wrote music and then boasted that nobody but him could play it; it's good to see the challenge taken so successfully!
Magnificent, dynamic, passionate, gracious, and stunningly beautiful. Her stage presence and artistic abilities shown with nuances with her: smile, beholden eyes to deliver her best performance, brings pure joy to hear and see. She is so alive, ...I don't know how she actually goes to.... sleep. Irresistible captivating energy with her violin and Baroque Vivaldi masterpiece.
She is so good!!!
Who knew someone gifted with such delicate and graceful talents could be from New Jersey. 😮
Witnessing the emergence and maturity of the early music movement has been one of the great joys of my life. This group are really high voltage and gives a real feeling to how the great seventeenth musicians might have played.
listened to this hundreds of times, I'd love the way she sent her soul into the hymn.
Incredible performance, Alana and the whole ensemble. Such a delight to hear another great concerto from Vivaldi, brought to life by this awesome ensemble! Thank you!
Alana is in a joyous place, she could be communicating with Vivaldi himself, magnificent I would pay anything to witness this in person.
I have to say that I went into a trance with her interpretation ❤️
I never heard Barock or Classical Music in my Lifetime ! Till I heard the first Time Vivaldi ...and then I was a Vivaldi Freak ! For me the music from Vivaldi is amazing and I can hear it always and anytime ! It's fantastic...
Welcome to the club 👍

YET ANOTHER GIFTED GROUP OF MUSICIANS COME TO LIGHT. WE ARE IN THE AGE OF MUSIC AGAIN LIKE THE 18TH CENTURY.
Wow! I've never seen a baroque violin go way up there!!
These Voices of Music performances are consistently stunning and hypnotic in every respect. Thank you, they are balm for the soul.
Vivaldi is the greatest!!!
Je n'ai jamais été déçu par vos interprétations de Vivaldi ❤
Alana is amazing...great performance by all...loved this....what a great visual to watch too!
Making music at its finest.
Thanks and much joy to all involved.
I've only just, at the fourth viewing, noticed Elizabeth Blumenstock's expression watching her pupil at work.
Quelle prestation ! C'est magnifique, sensible et inspiré ! Voici la nouvelle Anna Maria de Vivaldi ! Bravo !
Beautiful
So much talent and soul just flowing through her and into her instrument. She reminds me of Stevie Ray Vaughn playing guitar.
Great rendition of this concerto! I have generally been a foe of Baroque music played too fast - but Ms. Youssefian plays it with such clarity that the music isn't muddled; it is a testimony to the proper playing of Baroque music. And of course the Voices of Music complements her playing very well.
I like the way she ignored her lack of fingerboard and just kept climbing!
It does feel too fast but she is so brilliant that in the end l was simply awestruck and didn’t care
Beautiful performance by Alana ❣️❣️❣️and allí the musicians congratulations
I love Antonio the Prete Rosso, and this performance made me very happy, excellent job Alana, perfect Vivaldi as it should be performed.
I'm in love with this soloist! She's such a great inspiration to me, as a (too) late beginner.
I clapped at home for this magnificent performance!
Truly magnificent. A wonderful performance by everyone !!!
THANK YOU !!!
I’m crazy for this beautiful and amazing performance!!!
Dopo sette mesi torno ad ascoltarvi ed è non solo fantasmagorico, di più: M I R A B O L A N T E !
Absolutely brilliant performance. I did something that I haven't done before. I stood up and clapped!!!! Awesome!
Alans is just fantastic.
Je suis toujours stupéfait de l'extrême qualité sonore chez "Voices of music" (en ayant chez soi, de surcroît, une bonne enceinte). Cela sonne très clair, parfois sec mais avec une rondeur généreuse dans les basses, sans compter l'interprétation majestueuse et respectueuse. Bravo pour votre travail.
Madame je vous félicite, votre prestation est éblouissante, il en est de même des musiciens qui vous accompagnent. Encore bravo votre virtuosité n'a d'égal que votre beauté , encore👏👏❤
Superb, sublime, sensational and any other adjective that begins with S that means surreally awesome!
Asì se toca Vivaldi,lleno de vida,extraordinaria interprete!!!!!
Wonderful performance, extraordinary virtuosity, and amazing recording
Alana, a passionate about your violin virtuosity writes to you, I was born in the city of violins CREMONA, and I have a good ear to know how violins sound, his passion and virtuosity moves me to tears, he is also choosing one of the best authors of music for violin, Antonio Vivaldi…BRAVA!!!!!
Extraordinaire interprétation. Bravissima!
Of all the violinists I've heard, you are the best
La rigueur féminine au service de pièces virtuoses , le public masculin est admiratif.
Merci pour le partage et bravo.
En plus c'est très bien filmé.
That was all too amazing. Those harmonics in the cadenza were perfect. I felt like the music was really alive and not just read off the page. Great ensemble as well. Thanks
Fantastisk , alte Musikus , es gibt zwei , drei Musikus jedes Jahrhundert wie Vivaldi . Ich ging zu einem Pianoleher für einige Jahre und viel Stress und nois und meine Frau sagte , du bist kein Wunderkind.
Stunning performance by Alana.
Agree!
This is really delightful! Love the sense of fun in the playing (with special kudos to those cellists!).
5:00 Going beyond the fingerboard is so exciting. The short baroque fingerboard makes it more intense. ❤️❤️❤️ 🙈
Alana Youssefian, baroque violin plays great, thank you
Great Antonio! Eleganza, ritmo e si vola in alto tra le nuvole! GRAZIE!
Another stunning performance and recording. Thanks for uploading this.
So amazing, just to have an ounce of any of that talent on the stage would be a blessing!!! ❤️❤️
Soberbia ejecución . Sin duda el espíritu de Vivaldi se regocija recordando en Alana a su Anna Maria della Pietà . Bravo !!!
Vivaldi ist unsagbar schön. Wenn ich diese Musik höre, fließen jedesmal Tränen.
Schönheit tut weh . . .
Extraordinaria violinista. Y además bella y elegante. Gracias!!!. Thank you very much for the video
I keep listening to this; l have tried to find the words before and failed. Utterly remarkable.
This has to be one of the greatest , most melodic solo violin passages ever played
Alana I love this video and I've watched it many times. You remind me why I love to play the violin and just how beautifully satisfying, the baroque period is. Andrew
Youssefein is exceptional dynamic expressive bright radiates confidence virtuosity and happiness to viewers. Lovely person of fine traditional qualities. Admirer from India.
Lei e il suo violino sono un tuttuno.Fantastico
Heaven must sound this way
Absolutely glorious and she’s having so much fun
