VIVALDI: Concerto for 2 Violins, Strings & Continuo in G Major, RV 516: I. Allegro molto #baroque
Good things come in pairs, and Vivaldi certainly knew it 🎻🎻
Our second single from Vivaldi x2² is out today! 🥳
In baroque Italy, the double concerto was a rare beast, unless you were Vivaldi, of course, who wrote around 65.
Thirty, or so, of these double concerti are for two violins, including this, the Concerto for 2 Violins, Strings & Continuo in G Major, RV 516, with soloists Adrian Chandler and Oliver Cave 🎻🎻
Concerto for 2 Violins, Strings & Continuo in G Major, RV 516: I. Allegro molto

Who was Proteus anyway? 🤔 The star of our latest single, Proteus was a river god from ancient times 🌊 A shape changer and oracle, if you wanted Proteus to answer your questions then you need to stop him transforming 🔄 If you haven't seen our latest Viola Cam, the violas do a crackin' job of holding on tight to their notes, just like you'd need to hold on to ol' Proteus 😆 Vivaldi x2² will be rel...

Viola Cam 🤩 We couldn't perform a piece with such an EPIC viola line without giving it the full viola cam treatment! 🎥 Proteus, an ancient river god, can change shape at will. Also a prophet, the only way to get Proteus to answer your questions was to hold him tight until he changed back to his original form 🌊 In this movement, the viola line represents Proteus being held onto tight so we can g...

Did you know that you can go and see some of Vivaldi's manuscripts in person in Manchester?! In fact, there are loads of baroque manuscripts in the Henry Watson Library, Manchester that came to the city via a pal of Vivaldi's, Cardinal Ottoboni. Ottoboni was a great patron of the arts and supported a whole generation of Italian Baroque composers including Corelli, Scarlatti, Caldara and, of cou...

    Excellent take on Tartini! In my opinion he is the top, period. He knew better than anyone what makes the violin tick and how to compose the most beautiful and interesting music for the instrument. It is also nice to note that he is one of the very few self-made types. He didn't learn from any other famous violinist but retreated in seclusion to perfect his art on his own.

    Compreender é complexo para os músicos; mas eles tentam e publicam diversas interpretações... mas, sim sinto qndo escuto Vivaldi as figurações pulando se entrelaçando, rítmos de textura criando imoressoes fugazes, música "invisível",,; 🎶 a harmonia e tudo mas é algo indescritível entre o lugar comum, e fractais dançando. Obrigado professor!

    Brilliant master class Maestro, indeed I've found the same pedal notes in a restoration that I did in the facsimile of Motezuma's Opera, a late work by Antonio Vivaldi, but I have a very big doubt about the authenticity of the manuscript. Is the rescued facsimile Motezuma's opera made by the hand writing of Antonio Vivaldi or is it a transcription from the original made by a copyist? Is there a water mark or something that I can research in another works that are preserved made by copyists in another Vivaldi's works? Thank you so much for your time and knowledge
