I can't believe it's that old! This is the best recording of the sonata I've ever heard - so many tasteful interpretations, melodic improvisations from the lute and harpsichord. Although, I think I can hear a guitar in the 16th section? Then we have the final variations, ever since I heard them I've always wondered what articulation they are using??? The madness has really reached its pinnacle here, and I absolutely love it.
Yeah! Follia was a 15th century folk tune from Iberian Peninsula (some say from Portugal, others that from north of Spain), and later it became popularised in European courts, especially in Italy and France, so a lot of composers made variations over the original tune, for example Marin Marais, Arcangelo Corelli or Antonio Salieri. Even Bach has one in a cantata! Later there are a few more follias in Beethoven or in Rachmaninov. Hope I've helped you!😄

@@oliversvensson1231 It was probably the theorbo (not lute or guitar) that Luca Pianca played here.
@@DelVivaldi That's ver likely, I just assumed from the timbre
Thank you so much. I am familiar with at least 15-20 versions of Vivaldi's Follia but this one is always my favorite.
@@ypeng191Makes sense since my favorite part is also at 7:40 I also love the I Musici version with Salvatore Accardo, too.
The best performance from Lafolia is definitely this performance 🫢🫢😍😍😍😍😍😍
When the slow variations hit you between the fast ones, it is unbearably beautiful.
Mi maestro Vivaldi 🎵🎼🎻
la version de vivaldi es la mejor de todas
Such a classic to finish off the year with!

Thanks!
I think I read somewhere that La Folia is something of a traditional piece or something and every Baroque composer had his version of it, is it true?
