You can tell this guy really loves his job
The clothing, the hair, the dancing, i like everything about this violinist.
what about music...
@@twain7879 that too ofcourse 😅
I've just discovered Olivier Brault, what a Renaissance man for the 21st century !!
This is, by far, the most passionate performance of Follia I've ever heard! I can absolutely hear the pure joy of playing it! Thank you all! Mr Brault was so into it he almost started to dance😊 Wonderful!
Thank you Marija for so generous and joyous a comment! Ive passed this on to Olivier.
Ha ha... I'm making the sound of the castanets with my heels ! I was thinking too much about the pride of the Spanish dancer. Intonation issues, rosin not sticking much, some notes missing... but many added for the spirit :)
I loved it honestly. It gave such nice touch to the performance :)
I love you Olivier. :-)
You play beautifully.
J'adore, on est embarqué et c'est ça le principal, Toujours un grand plaisir d'écouter Olivier, les castagnettes c'est sympa aussi :)
Glad to find you again!
The theorbo lute, the foot tapping, the feeling, I ❤️ it all.
What. fun! Thanks for sharing.
That’s some LUTE!!!
One of my Top Five pieces of Music… never gets old and I’ll have it playing in mind when I shuffle off this “mortal coil” 😏
I love how much fun he was having with it!
Amazing. Its like I was being transported back in time.
I loved it a lot, if it is not the best interpretation of "La Folia", I could say that it is one of the best. Congratulations.
Gosh Im so glad you liked it so much. Ive shared your note with Olivier and Loretta. Thank you.
I studied Arcangelo Corelli in college in my Music History classes. I told my professor how much I enjoy the compositions by Corelli. His return answer was "a lot of people do!" The performers in this video are well studied in discipling their playing r to the best level they can attain. I think they have done a magnificent job! Thank for sharing Corelli's wonderful music with all of us.
thank you so much for your kind and encouraging comment!
Olivier has great screen presence. The hair, the clothes, the charisma, the virtuosity. I'll bet you he dose'nt sit home alone on Saturday nights.
Schade nur, dass er dem Continuo wenig dem gebührenden Aufmerksamkeit schenkt, die sind nicht nur wunderbares " Continuo" sie spielen so toll und ebenso virtuos
I love your dedication to the music,the age and desire to become at one with your interpretation.
M. Brault - I've seen you perform Jeannette Sorrell's arrangement of Vivaldi's "La Folia" (aka "musical caffeine") in several UA-cam videos, now I get to see you play the Corelli version. Thank you for making my day and inspiring my writing.
El violín barroco de Olivier Brault es un regalo para los sentidos . Bravo !!
Fabulous in the true meaning of the word. Bravissimo.
My favorite Baroque violinist!
Ditto.
Oh my goodness the grandma played so amazingly well. Superb concert
Very very beautiful playing ! I was moved.
Great energy. A pleasure to hear the imaginative ornaments, and the spirit of joy the group all communicate. Well done!
Thank you David for your generous note here.
Your playing makes my heart soar!
Music to affirm being alive- Bravo!
This variations are top, thanks...
Gorgeous Corelli --intricate and embroidered. Olivier is obviously accomplished.
I'm an obsessed La Folia fan, and I must say, this is the second best violin performance of the piece I've ever heard. Well done. Bravo!!!
Grande artista Olivier. Complimenti!!
formidable interprétation !
Olivier: Completement eblouissant!!! Bravo!!!
comme toujours
@@laffreuxjacobin6286 Corelli renaît dans ce merveilleux violoniste!
Magnifique. Très surprenant d’entendre la différence de caractère entre la version originale pour violon et celle pour flûte qui est une transcription faite du vivant de Corelli… Les deux versions sont convaincantes !
Beautiful.....thank you
Brilliant. Saw this performed live by Apollo's Fire at Tanglewood and it was amazing.
Corelli fué también un genio con sus composiciones!!!! no hay dudas!
We tenderly and carefully restore baroque dance from the sources, and Mr. Brault reconstructs baroque music with the same fervor and accuracy.
But we are far from the fervor and heat of the affects with which he performs it. He moves better than us, dancers.❤🎉
So beautiful. 😊
This song literally took me to a whole new time period lol and I LOVE it
magnificent. xxxx
그 시대에는 궁중에서나 들을 수 있었던 멋진 음악을 안방에서 편안하게 감상할 수 있게 해 주셔서 감사합니다. Thanks!
Thank YOU for writing to us and saying lovely things!
@@andrewsappel thank you. however, do you understand my language?
Oh my dancing heart I AM in LOVE !!! 💐🌿💖
Excellent interpretation !!
Outstanding!!!!!!!
The bow-wearing beau / Takes a bow for his bowing- / He's our Lord of the Bow / Is Olivier Brault!
La mejor y más entusiasta presentación para una tremenda interpretación ❤

Excellent! I loved it!
Bravo!
Bravo!! 👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much! It's really excellent!
Bravissimi
спасибо
You wonder how some pieces become "greatest hits," as La Folia certainly was (and is). Corelli, Vivaldi, Handel, and now I'm seeing an arrangement by Fritz Kreisler.
Dont forget thE french as well... d"Anglebert, Marais, Couperin...etc--and finally, Bernstein whose AMERICA from West Side Story is a take on Folia as well
Bravo, la meilleure version que je connaisse!
I have passed this on to Olivier and how lovely it is to read your assessment. Thank you for it.
Cool!
Fière de constater la présence québécoise d'un violoniste exprimant l'âme baroque!
Bom demais
I didn't realize how lively baroque music could sound as I've only really "read" through it on my own! Do you pick and choose what ornaments you use for each individual performance or do you just stick with your favorites? I've heard there is some very slight improvisation with baroque music and was curious.
HI. Thanks for your nice and appreciative note. Ill answer for the ensemble. We know that Corelli was a master elaborator and when his solo violin sonatas were published in Holland and in England they were published with the ornaments that Corelli added to simple and lyrical adagios and andantes. We aren't sure that these ornaments were really his but they are contemporary and give us an idea as to how elaborate Italian ornamentation was for violinists. I think that most good baroque players use these as a good guide post, playing them or inventing their own ornaments that seem in the ball park with them. We also have examples of other great violinists of the time printing their own ornaments to the Corelli sonatas. Each violinist brings his own character and art to the pieces. In this set of variations, Corelli does not add the elaborations he brings to the other sonatas. What you hear as ornaments are Olivier's spontaneous additions...always a delight to the continuo section from performance to performance.
GEIL..😮
Cool !!!!!!!!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The castanets add to it! And as to technical/mechanical issues, the original viol players probably didn't come close to your technical prowess. Stop worrying, we're enjoying your performance.
I agree on both the castanets and the execution.
Corelli would have appreciated.

He’s using a proper baroque bow? Lovely.
yup.. the bow is proper and Baroque. :-}
Sounds like the strings are period, as well.
@@SerafinDrake Yup, as much as we can, everything is set up to be historically coherent and right. The sensuousness of Baroque music wants gut strings!
Bravissimo, spero che un giorno proporrai Concerto grosso op 6 numero 1, grazie

Monsieur Brault, si selon vos dires, il manquait quelques notes, c’est que la grâce aérienne de cette prestation a fait qu’elles se sont envolées avant d’être jouées!
This is hilarious!
What’s the name of that edition of la folia I can’t find it anywhere every other version is different
This is a facsimile of the original Italian version of Opus 5 sonatas for violin and continuo. They Were also published in Amsterdam and London with added ornamentation but this Italian edition is the first.
@@andrewsappel ah okay I see so does that mean there’s no online copy’s of the sheet music or anywhere online to purchase this version
@@cristophersanchez6287 go to Imslp and you can find it under Corelli. I would not call this a "version." It is exactly as Corelli wanted it to appear, as he published it in 1700.
Is that a lute or a theorbo?
It is a theorbo--which is a lute with the added long bass strings that are simply tuned to the low notes you want and never stopped with the fingers as the lute part of the instrument is. However this reminds me of a funny story I heard from a fine viola da gambist. She had played a concert for music lovers who were not particularly savvy about original instruments and after the concert was over a member of the audience came up to her and asked if that was a piano she was playing. She told me that under such questioning, the best policy was to be agreeable and she said yes.
@@andrewsappel Thank you. I was sure I had seen one in David Munrow's book!
La Folia est elle une oeuvre de Corelli ou bien de Vivaldi ? les Américains choisissent volontiers le premier, mais les Européens restent fidèles au prêtre roux
qui semble t-il a imaginé le ballet qui accompagne normalement la partition de musique. Quel que soit l'auteur l'oeuvre est magnifique !
Folia is a bass line and harmonic progression that was set by countless composers. Corelli's, published in 1700 is a cornerstone of Baroque chamber and violin music. Vivaldi's came a few years later...but there are variations on Folia by Marais, d'Anglebert, Couperin, CPE Bach, Liszt, up to Bernstein's America from West Side Story which is a take on Folia. Cheers ANDREW
That "lute" is a theoorbo, isn't it?
yes it is a theorbo.
This is not the version I have lol
What version DO you have! This is the Italian version, controlled and published by Corelli on Jan 1, 1700. The somewhat later versions have the addition of ornaments. They were published in London and Amsterdam and boast the elaborations as performed by Mr. Corelli. Best regards! Andrew Appel
They are all rugby players
Corelli didn't write the noise with the shoes!
Corelli wore carpet slippers!
La parte del violoncello è complessa....é difficile eseguirla bene....
bien mais au début jouez la mélodie sans fioritures apres oui mais n'abusez pas c'est pour moi un tres gros défaut .Il faut vous défaire de cela
You are entirely wrong. In fact every evidence shows that all adagios were ornamented Look at each movement from opus 5 and the published elaborations. Look at the school of Corelli and how the real style requires elaboration all the time. Even allegros were freely embellished. Back to the basics with you.
I eliminated your other comment as it was sour and out of place here. It seemed to come from envy rather than collegial exchange. Mr. Brault, whether you like his interpretations or not, is worthy of greater respect.
