The Vivaldi Piccolo Concerto is a piece that motivates and inspires me - whenever I need a pick-me-up I put this on the player. It, also, took me the better part of a year to learn to play it myself.
Magistral interpretación de esta célebre obra compuesta por el legendario veneciano Antonio Vivaldi sin duda uno de los más importantes de la Música Barroca junto a J.S.Bach, G.F Händel y G.P Telemann. La valenciana Sara Ureña Cabrera es una gran virtuosista de la flauta de reconocida fama internacional. BRAVO !!! Saludos desde España.
Excellent tempo and attack on the notes ! too many times this awesome composition is slurred in interpretation . There, it's just perfect ! it's one of the most lofty and aristocratic piece of music of Vivaldi . Beautiful interpretation !
Es la interpretación que más me gusta de entre las que hay en UA-cam. El movimiento central me parece de una gran espiritualidad. Sublime interpretación. Gracias
Bravisima Sara me encanta como tocas de hecho estoy escuchando tu manera de tocar por que me encanta es lo que busco un sonido limpio y no forzado brava! Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Sin duda un hermoso concierto, una version muy linda...gracias Sara por la musica...me has alegrado el dia y dado mas entusiasmo para seguir estudiando flauta y piccolo...muchas gracias!!!
How does he do it...... Composing to so many different types of musical instruments....... One word that fits...... Genius !!!! Antonio is an absolute Genius
But I don’t think Piccoloists can’t play this. I think even Bassoonists can enjoy our beautiful work. Also great performance, she is a great Piccoloist
Actually, it was originally composed by Vivaldi to a Sopranino recorder (sic) that is tuned a fourth above the Soprano recorder, in F (one octave above a Contralto recorder). It happens that the tessitura of a Sopranino recorder suits very well the picollo transversal flute, in the same way anything written for Contralto recorder suits very well the transversal flute in C. That because in a transversal flute the lowest notes, below F, usually suffer from less agility in articulation and less sonority, specially in the modern cylindrical metallic flute. A good artist overcomes or compensates such limitations, but rarely with that ease and spontaneity required by baroque music. I may be wrong, but the earliest usage of a picollo transversal flute in orchestral music was in Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, way later than Vivaldi. I am not sure when exactly the picollo was created, but I don't think it was in usage by Vivaldi's time, at least in concert music. The one-keyed baroque flute has some issues of tuning that may be worked around by a good artist, but in one octave above, it would be much harder if not impossible to manage satisfactorily.
Hey, I am a trumpet player for 8 years already I want to start playing the Piccolo, I really want to buy one and do it on my own with books and internet. I know I should start playing the flute first but do you think I can start playing the Piccolo without any flute knowledge?
-Yes, technically you could just borrow a piccolo and try to figure it out with books on playing piccolo but it will be a lot harder without a flute background.
Darkas TV Id say shoot for it! I started on pic and didn't even know that I should've started on flute. Take it from someone who started on pic and then moved to flute-flute is a lot easier but if you want to take on pic head on, go for it!!
well thanks. I was trying the flute and the piccolo already.. and flute was easier as u said.. but still I kinda love the piccolo more lol but I might try the flute first.
@@spironikitaielivitch2846 The performance is fine. She is Wonderful! The sound is not loud enough on her playing. A sound technician would say the level is too low, meaning it needs to be louder. Maybe she is too far from her microphone? When everyone else is playing, they are at a good sound level, but she is too low compared to them.
@@chrisdaigle5410 ok, i notest that also. A problem of sound engineering. I had a litlle doubt about the rest as is seemed to me 5 stars. Thanks a lot to take time to answer
Pocket Lovegood-Granger if you’re fourteen and working on this, you’re a skilled piccolo player and should be proud of yourself! I just started this concerto, and I’m nineteen :)
Brava. Fnalmente un'interprete che fa un moderato uso degli abbellimenti. Soprattutto nel 'largo' secondo me, disturbano l'ascolto a scapito della purezza della linea melodica.,
All of the superfluous waving around by the soloist and the orchestra makes me seasick. There is nothing added musically when one gyrates around while playing. I've been a professional musician for 40 years and I find this trait in musicians extremely annoying and very distracting. There, I've said my peace and I'm sure there will be others with different opinions, but this is how I feel, so that's all that matters. Wonderful playing, though, that being said.
@@excalibur1812 just close the eyes, my friend, and all will be well... Actually, for some musicians, not moving may be counterproductive, and what I saw did not seem to be show off in any way. Actually, the quick movements are very jumpy in nature. Besides that, some bodily movement releases tension necessary for sustained breathing and finger movements that otherwise would severely damage performance. PS: that has nothing to do with some theatrical performance one may often see, specially in pianists, and that is meant to SHOW OFF how deeply one feels the music, what only can reveal shallowness...
Bravíssimo to the soloist! I appreciated very much the performance, although not made in period instruments, and it seems the picollo suits very well baroque music without traits of romantic ethos. Now, I only regret the maestro and orchestra didn't follow your lead on the second movement, as the cellos were often behind in tempo. Maybe acoustics played in that too, with too much grave reverberation. That made the articulation on the cellos unclear, and a drier staccatos on cellos and basses would be helpful, so far they followed the picollo on the triolets or sixteenth notes. You did your best to actually play in binary tempo, while the maestro was conducting in six, not actually accompanying. And that was a movement of solo & accompaniment, with no dialogue or counterpoint except in a few discrete transitions. However, I would say that artistically performing those repeated eight notes on the celli is probably harder than everything else for the orchestra, that needs a very fine balance. As for the quick movements, I liked very much the tempi, and both the tutti as well the soli were well integrated. It had the lightness one usually finds only with period instruments.

Fantastic Sara ! One of the classical world's greatest pieces, performed with the most perfect excellence !
The most beautiful and one of the most ethereal slow movement of all time. Brava Sara

Il y a un parfait équilibre entre les cordes (orchestre virtuose) et le piccolo, c'est rare !

wow!!!!! When does she even breathe~ so AWESOME! I keep playing this video over and over!!!
Toute ma jeunesse au sein de l’orchestre « Terpsichore » de l’institution Robin de Vienne… Que de bons souvenirs !!
One of my favorites. So beautiful. It has brought tears to my eyes on many occasions.
I. Allegro - 0:31
II. Largo - 4:15
III. Allegro molto - 8:25
Definitivamente este ha sido la mejor version que he escuchado de este tema. Grandioso Sara Ureña.
Bravo Sara. Vivaldi festejou brilhantemente o flautim (piccolo ) não existe concerto que o supere!

She has an amazing control on her breath. It makes it seem so easy and it sounds so elegant and in tune. She’s brilliant and unique.
Wonderful performance !!!!

This piece is originally written for recorder not flute..
8:25 3rd movement

Eres una artista🤷🏼♀️💟
This is a Recorder piece
But I don’t think Piccoloists can’t play this. I think even Bassoonists can enjoy our beautiful work. Also great performance, she is a great Piccoloist
Dude it’s literally called a concerto for piccolos and strings

Vivaldi must of heard a bird singing this tune high up on a tree🙂life imitates nature
0:32 start
There is always the idiot who coughs... 🤣🤣🤣
3:33 The big guy on cello made a negative moviment with his head. Maybe an error by the soloist???
Nope!!! He is enjoyng the music!!!
@@jairochaves8916 ok thanks
4:14
Vivaldi may have actually had in mind a flageolet.
I like more on recorder than piccolo
lol 06:18
He is just enjoying the music.

-Yes, technically you could just borrow a piccolo and try to figure it out with books on playing piccolo but it will be a lot harder without a flute background.
Don't just think you can play the piccolo with out putting in the work. Master flute upper range and then try

Olà
The great composer A.L. Vivaldi.
They forgot to give the girl a microphone. That piccolo was a bit difficult to hear properly
She struggled a bit but was very good in general terms.
