My son has autism and he is a 6 yo. Thanks to you, he easily identifies this master piece of music and runs to watch the video ❤️❤️❤️. So we play the video all the time.
When a person likes my comment,, I get a notification,, the notification work as a reminder,, then I here this againn ....thank you for remind me all guys!!
I confirm! I have a niece who practices since she was 8 yo. Now is 14. Still practicing. Still perfectioning her art but getting there... it is amazing to see the evolution of an artist. ❤❤
Nothing can beat The Four Seasons played on period instruments by highly skilled musicians. The AV engineers who recorded this must also be commended for such high quality output.
If you have a set of good headphone, you know how insanely good this recording is in terms of audio quality. This channel generally has some of the best sound quality classical music videos in all of UA-cam. I listen to this on HD800s and I am shocked that this UA-cam video sounds better than most of local lossless classical music I had.
@@thangnguyenquoc6995i think all quattro stagioni videos on youtube far exceed that mark. Curious that Vivaldi was nearly forgotten for two centuries and more but today his music thrives❤
17 year old from india here, I am an admirer of classical music, specially Vivaldi, Beethoven, Mozart, bach, chopin, - this version of Vivaldi 4 seasons is my absolute favourite. As a person studying for my pre medical test I am mostly tired and demotivated unhappy, but classical brings me back to my primary goals - reminds me that music is the reason for existence. Thank you for producing this utmost masterpiece's modern absolutely beautiful version.
You are one of the rarest Indians I've ever witnessed. A rarest Indian who knows and enjoys the real and regal music! I wish you good luck for your future and become a good doctor.
I've heard Four Seasons countless times, but I never understood what a bad-ass Vivaldi was until I listened to this performance! This composition must have been the Heavy Metal of its day. An absolutely stunning rendition, with a recording to match. I heard every instrument. The acoustic separation was superb while maintaining the musicians' beautiful blending and the wonderfully bright tone of the hall. Everyone played with passion and precise abandon, as if it was the final performance of their lives, and watching the musical relationship between the soloist and the first cellist was a joy. Bravo players, audio engineers, and video producers! This is my first visit to this channel, and I'm a new fan. Time to go donate.
Absolutely. I was actually watching the fingering of the lead violinist observing exactly that. Or perhaps it's that a lot of metal is a lot more classically influenced than most people would think.
I am an old time rocker and this is 250 years ahead of its time. Vivaldi composed a concept composition with multimedia presentation. It has rhythm, beat and those incredible hooks. I could listen to this forever.
Not sure if you'll ever see this message, but THIS IS The Four Seasons. Other recordings play this so soullessly, coining this masterpiece terms like pretentious. BUT THIS RECORDING is played with emotion, and you can clearly see that the musicians having fun while playing this. This is meant to be played with humor and emotion, and this hits the bullseye. Amazing, thank you.
You know what truly stands out to me in this, it's not their playing (while it is perfect and incredible), not the insanely good audio quality (seriously, wow), but the smiles and expressions on their faces, their body movements too. You can TELL when a musician truly enjoys what they're doing, because they're elated not just before, not just after, but WHILE they play, and their faces and bodies reflect that. Great piece, even better performance!! Much love from SoCal!!
THE BEST 40 MINUTES I HAVE EVER SPENT ON UA-cam!! The BEST performance of Four Seasons EVER! The soloists are outstanding in leveraging the exceptional performance by the orchestra as a whole . The sound quality is superb. I'M STUNNED WITH THE JOY of this entire concert!
It is only at my 68 years of old that I appreciate "the" classical music with THIS orchestra to make pale the other orchestras to 30,40,50 musicians ... magic .
I never imagined in my life I'd be crying listening to Spring. Life is full of surprises, and some hide in plain sight. Thanks to you all for helping me to see.
That moment when you discover that the subtitles contain the verses of the sonnet in the passages where they appear in the sheet music... This is truly a work that shows great care and affection for the art. Without a doubt, this video and this presentation are a rare gem. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Ho superato i 60 anni, mai (o quasi) ascoltato musica classica; ho provato e...sono stato fulminato. Ora la ascolto più spesso e inoltre, grazie a Voi, ho ascoltato la musiche di Vivaldi, le Quattro Stagioni, ad oggi per me sono il must della musica classica. Grazie
Been listening to this Vivaldi’s masterpiece since I was a teenager, I’m in my fifties. This is the purest performance I’ve listened to so far. With these instruments, this must be the closest to the original sound.
Beste Version von Vivaldis "Vier Jahreszeiten", die ich bis jetzt hörte. Bin 58 Jahre, spiele selbst für den Hausgebrauch seit 48 Jahren Geige und auch Bratsche. Vielen Dank.
The perfect balance between chaos and harmony sounds like this. This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Vivaldi truly tapped into some kind of godly force of chaos and harmony while he composed this. He mixed the two so perfectly that he shows you the fragile balance of the universe. Those two extreme forces balanced so perfectly created this timeless masterpiece. There’s definitely something special about this amazing composition … bravo! 👏
I've been listening to Vivaldi since before I was born, my mother would play records when I kicked her at night. I have, for my entire life, told anyone who asked that my favourite 'song' is Vivaldi's Winter. I am VERY picky with interpretations, and refuse to listen to any that don't match the tempo and feel that I think goes with the piece. I'm not musically trained, I'm just picky. But THIS.... this is true perfection in a way I never thought I could find. There's such joy and playfulness in it, the violas and violins bounce, the harpsichord prances, I've been crying on and off while listening to this. There are trills I never heard before in anyone else's interpretations, and yet all the 'changes' from what I'm used to hearing seem to be precisely what was missing all these years.
People take for granted the importance of classical mechanics and techniques that came from works like this. The fact that these pieces were written by hand without modern day technology and methods is astounding and beautiful; and now we luckily have the ability to play it as beautifully as this needs to be appreciated more. Most music today wouldn’t be what it is without this masterful work. Thank you.
I cannot fathom how many years it must take to be able to play like that, and from memory without any note sheets on top of that in the case of the leading violin. I am in awe. And I thank you for sharing this wonderful art that is your music with the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Last May (2022) we sat in the first row at the Charles Church in Vienna. We still get chills hearing the Four Seasons. The performance on original instruments will vibrate in my mind for all of the years I have left. Thank you Vienna. OH, and The Marriage of Figaro at the State Opera was shocking in its perfection. Put Vienna on your bucket list if you can. You will never get it out of your head.
For over fifty years,Vivaldi has been my numero uno Baroque composer.I do believe this to be the best performance I have listened to.I am sure the great master would be pleased.
It was a forty minutes long eargasm. Gawd what a QUALITY! All praises to stupefying performance. These artists did a stunning job. Can't tell how thankful I am to every single person who were involved in making this video to youtube.
I literally broke out into tears by the time I came to Vivaldi's winter sequence. The headphones which I bought for my new phone delivered an absolute masterpiece and clarity of Vivaldi's beautiful work, The Four Seasons! Amazing performance by everyone ! I would love to see this performance in person if it were to happen in Canada.
The best performance I've ever watched. They make you experience all the emotions for 42 minutes. When I close my eyes and listen, I feel like I'm living the whole story.
Our daughter is in first grade and her music lesson today introduced Vivaldi and The Four Seasons. She listened to pieces with her headphones, in order to work through the lesson. After reading a bit about Vivaldi in her lesson, I decided to search for this composition. My search led me directly here, and I've been lost in this piece since. Everything about this work is nothing short of amazing. What makes finding this perfect is that all 3 kids are listening to it in the background while we work and talk. I'm reminded how blessed I am. Thank you.
They are all excellent throughout the whole concert, but the "Spring" soloist is a force of nature, what an astonishing WOMAN, I'm in love! It seems so simple... We just admire... My best regards and admiration.
I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this masterpiece. The best version so far, tempo is perfect, key is perfect. I always listen to this everyday, literally! Kudos!
I feel like I have climbed for a moment to an Olympus of perfection. Like another mortal, my skin has crawled with the perfection of each note and harmony. It is not only Vivaldi's work, it is also a magnanimous interpretation. I have become addicted to Voices of Music and I cannot and do not want to stop listening to them.
Brilliant...Vivaldi can still hear you and is "over thr moon" that his music is still appreciated and loved after all this time..brilliantly executed ......
I cannot tell how many times I've heard this specific performance. I knew four seasons many years ago, but this isn't just a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons... this is THE PERFORMANCE. Haven't found anything like this. Everything is perfect, the musicians, the soloists, the photograph, the video editing, the sound recording (OMG!). Everything matches in the way it should be. Sometimes I found myself watching the same video over and over, just staring there, enjoying art, pure art. Love u folks. Thanks for this.
If I was to die tomorrow I would not feel cheated about my life after hearing this. In a world full of negativity it makes my heart soar to know that human beings can create and perform such uplifting, emotional, joyous music like this. Reading the comments it is life affirming to know that music like this can bring us together.
There are some concerts and shows in life that should not be missed. It is just the perfect combination of acoustic, energy, instruments and people This is a perfect example of “You should have been there”.
i've been coming back to this performance a dozen or so times now. it really helps me to calm down and somewhat deal with burnout at my workplace. thank you for this amazing video.
Absolutely fantastic. Heard the birds, the winds, the leafs and the ice as I had never experienced. Musicians suprême performance with perfect audio and video. Its a unique experience that me and my little girls enjoyed. I'll follow and support your amazing work.
Brava!!!!!! to our ladies, Alana, Carla and Cynthia. Bravo to VoM for the excellent, over the top, compilation, production and presentation. I particularly love the joy written all over Alana in the giving! Certainly joy on my end of the wire in receiving. You all, the entire VoM ensemble, soloists, production crew are the very best! Something of true greatness still comes from San Francisco. Donate fellow listeners! I know I must have this available to maintain and continue.
I heard the communication between all the instruments, I see the joy on everyone's face, I feel my heart beats for the scenes of four seasons. My respect and praise for this top-ranking performance. Bravo...❤
I believe this is by far the best performance ever from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons and the sound quality is also marvelous. Miller-Freivogel is absolut worlclass on the violine🥰 BRAVO👏
A high-quality audio codec is used for these recordings: Opus stereo at ~136 kbps. (you can verify using youtube-dl -x). That's far superior to mp3 or most other audio codecs at this bitrate, but isn't atypical of current UA-cam recordings which are generally encoded in either opus stored in a webm container, or m4a. Of these two, opus is the better codec.
why is the sound on this channel better than every other classical music youtube channel? The quality of these performances and the dynamics of the recordings are absolutely mindblowing. sheesh. made my day
Can't donate because I don't have a card. But I promise to not skip the ads in the other videos. Even on a small Bluetooth speaker, the quality is incredible. Just on the first part, already uplifted.
The talent of the group is amazing, my new task is to see them in person! What I enjoyed the most is the facial expressions and emotion they place into this! I especially enjoyed Cynthia's smile and smirks! She is impressive to say the least! This is now my at work background music, really sets a tone for the shift!
This is full of expression, full of everything I need in this world. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is an exquisite masterpiece that never fails to captivate with its timeless beauty and evocative melodies. The way Vivaldi weaves the elements of nature into his music is truly enchanting, and your performance of it brings out its brilliance even further. It is nothing short of breathtaking. Your exceptional skill, passion, and interpretation shine through every note, bringing this timeless composition to life in a truly remarkable way. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world and allowing us to experience the magic of the Four Seasons through your artistry. I am speechless with amazement and I can only say thank you for all of this you brought to the world. ❤
I've listen Vivaldi many and many times but this is the best version of all. Superlative audio quality, superlative execution, I can't ask for more. Bravi!
Over the years I have listened to countless versions of this work. I did not think that I would be surprised. This recording is simply in a league of its own. Bravo! Absolutely brilliant. And the sound quality.....OMG!! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Stunning! In complete agreement with the other comments posted here. Musicianship, performance, acoustics, recording quality, cinematography, as well as comprehensive notes and a transcript, too. An utterly compelling experience - at so many levels - and the best I've come across. A shining example of Vivaldi. Congratulations.
Such an amazing concert, Alana, Carla, Cynthia they all perform so masterfully, they're loving every second playing, and it feels the same way to watch... they bring a smile to me each time I see these video. My absolute favorites forever!
For me, the only thing the human race can do together in perfect harmony, love and devotion, is producing music like this.... from inside, no conductor. Wow!
I love how expressive the musicians are. They are breathing life into the music and you can really imagine what Vivaldi wants to convey in each movement.
Came across this channel this afternoon, and was in paradise. It is now the next day and still listening. They are incomparable and agree with the commenter about the sound engineers. This has to be one of the best recording channel's out there.
This assemblage of performances revivifies this havkneyed work and shows Vivaldi to be one of the founders of the Sturm und Drang style for which CPE Bach is so justly celebrated. Wonderful performances, all!
Some people claim that the sonics distributed on UA-cam are compressed, and far from hi-res, but I find them flawless, at least in these publications. I use ultra high-end headphones, and this sounds irresistible to me….
I have to admit I live with my ordinary, but contemporary, laptop but being on a farm - by myself - I can bring the level up to concert without bothering anyone and find the response just so good. As a reasonable harpist I feel I have a good "ear" and those strings just talk to me. Mind you, Christmas is coming - and 40 deg days when retiring inside so a decent headset looks like coming my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sofya
Every time I watch/listen to Voices of Music perform this, I get chills. Such beauty and skill in a performance! You can tell they enjoy what they are doing as well. It one thing for adults to be able to hear the beauty in it, but my nieces and nephews, under 1-4 years old, are mesmerized! The accoustics of the church are fantastic and sound engineering amazing! Thank you so much!
We are better people by listening to this…Not necessarily more virtuous, just better….We go to a better place in our mind and our imagination. Thats why this music is timeless.
I have listened to this piece countless times growing so sick of it, yet Voices of Music never fails to keep me invested in a piece no matter how tired I am of the melody.
BRAVO! Once again, I found myself entirely delighted with the incomparable performance of the outstanding musical group "Voices of Music, Freivogel, Moore, Youssefian." You are all amazing. This time around, given the variety of concertmasters, I was in a position to notice how distinct each one of the ladies perform the leading part, all of which, of course, are marvelous! Congratulations to such a splendid, perfectly well coordinated orchestra!
I love how different the 3 ladies are as performers. So distinct from each other, and so crazy talented. It really is a wonderful collection of performances, a true journey through the seasons. A delight each and every time I find myself here.
Absolute Perfection! The musicians - directed here, by Hanneke van Proosdij, are all true virtuosos! I've been waiting to hear another 'rare' - and in my opinion - 'defining' performance of The Four Seasons for so long now!! Thank you all so much. Stay safe!
Dziękuję. Od co najmniej 50 lat kocham muzykę barokową (wtedy ją zaczęłam odróżniać od innej klasycznej muzyki) i Vivaldiego ,,Cztery pory roku". Zbieram różne wykonania tego i z różnych krajów- ale to wykonanie jest w pierwszej piątce najlepszych. Piękna wersja, słyszę w niej ptaki, pnące się ku słońcu rośliny, szum drzew... I poza wspaniałą techniką wykonawczą, swietnym brzmieniem instrumentow czuję tu też emocje i radość grania. Dziękuję 🙏. Slucham tej wersji (raz w tygodniu, a czasem częściej) będąc w różnych stanach emocjonalno- mentalnych i zawsze coś znajduję nowego, optymistycznego. Życzę Zespołowi i Solistom: Wszystkiego Najlepszego 🙌. Serdecznie pozdrawiam 👋.
I love this interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, it feels like the musicians are enjoying the moment, rejoicing and celebrating life and the existence of the world, Vivaldi must feel very happy to receive this tribute in his honor.
Красиво редкостный концерт, столько солистов, каждый инструмент индивидуален, сам проект концерта задуман и продуман, исполнение прочувствовано, запись профессиональная, звукорежиссер бесподобен - ничего лишнего... Спасибо. Браво!!! И канал посмотрел - богатейший материал...)))
Much more than a simple expression. This interpretation of Vivaldi is shown alive making a number of different emotions perceptible in time and space in which the music is transmitted. Thanks to his interpreters as well as to the acoustic conditions in its entirety that this recording shows. A great wonder of nature among so many perceptible waves in our 21st century. Thanks for sharing
I've always liked the female interpreters for the Four Seasons. In my opinion, women feel Vivaldi in their souls. You guys are absolutely spectacular. Thanks.

This is the place.

I agree with you, friend. Really wish it is available in app such as Spotify so I can bless myself with this anytime.
My son has autism and he is a 6 yo. Thanks to you, he easily identifies this master piece of music and runs to watch the video ❤️❤️❤️. So we play the video all the time.
Good on you for showing him The Four Seasons at such a young age. Even if they don't fully understand it, it will boost their creativity.

Absolutely. I was actually watching the fingering of the lead violinist observing exactly that. Or perhaps it's that a lot of metal is a lot more classically influenced than most people would think.
Listen to RV 199 _Il Sospetto_ concerto: first movement's use of dissonance is quite reminiscent of modern metal.
I totally agree with you!

I was never a fan of Vivaldi's Four Seasons...until now!! What a difference, compared to the symphonic versions. This Baroque session is so moving!!
Gorgeous. Plus all the soloist were completely interchangeable!. Exceptional ensemble!
A quote to add to your comment. “To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” ― Ludwig van Beethoven

Our daughter is in first grade and her music lesson today introduced Vivaldi and The Four Seasons. She listened to pieces with her headphones, in order to work through the lesson.
After reading a bit about Vivaldi in her lesson, I decided to search for this composition. My search led me directly here, and I've been lost in this piece since. Everything about this work is nothing short of amazing.
What makes finding this perfect is that all 3 kids are listening to it in the background while we work and talk. I'm reminded how blessed I am.
Thank you.
They are all excellent throughout the whole concert, but the "Spring" soloist is a force of nature, what an astonishing WOMAN, I'm in love! It seems so simple... We just admire...
My best regards and admiration.
I thought it was lady Gaga for a second lol
I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this masterpiece. The best version so far, tempo is perfect, key is perfect. I always listen to this everyday, literally! Kudos!
One of the greatest pieces of music of all time!
Cynthia Freivogel is just incredible. Bravo!
I would have loved it when she had played all four seasons. Youssefian is great but Freivogel is better.
I feel like I have climbed for a moment to an Olympus of perfection. Like another mortal, my skin has crawled with the perfection of each note and harmony. It is not only Vivaldi's work, it is also a magnanimous interpretation.
I have become addicted to Voices of Music and I cannot and do not want to stop listening to them.
Brilliant...Vivaldi can still hear you and is "over thr moon" that his music is still appreciated and loved after all this time..brilliantly executed ......
Thank you so much!
I'm honestly in tears with the composition of everything. I've heard orchestra before but oh my goodness, I'm blown away.
I cannot tell how many times I've heard this specific performance. I knew four seasons many years ago, but this isn't just a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons... this is THE PERFORMANCE. Haven't found anything like this. Everything is perfect, the musicians, the soloists, the photograph, the video editing, the sound recording (OMG!). Everything matches in the way it should be. Sometimes I found myself watching the same video over and over, just staring there, enjoying art, pure art. Love u folks. Thanks for this.
This will be my forever favorite Four Seasons. The quality is just perfect.
Thanks so much!
If I was to die tomorrow I would not feel cheated about my life after hearing this. In a world full of negativity it makes my heart soar to know that human beings can create and perform such uplifting, emotional, joyous music like this. Reading the comments it is life affirming to know that music like this can bring us together.
That was a beautiful comment. Thank you.
There are some concerts and shows in life that should not be missed. It is just the perfect combination of acoustic, energy, instruments and people
This is a perfect example of “You should have been there”.
The Best musicians i've ever seen, and playing the entire Vivaldi's seasons, i'll love listen to it!
Say hi to Brazil ;)
Brazzzillll!!!
hope all is well
Hi Brazil.
I'm a bass DJ with major metal influence, and this is just so incredible. It's insane when you realize everything stemmed from this beautiful music.
i've been coming back to this performance a dozen or so times now. it really helps me to calm down and somewhat deal with burnout at my workplace. thank you for this amazing video.
You're so welcome!
Absolutely fantastic. Heard the birds, the winds, the leafs and the ice as I had never experienced. Musicians suprême performance with perfect audio and video. Its a unique experience that me and my little girls enjoyed. I'll follow and support your amazing work.
Vivaldi was never rendered nor displayed better. Great performance by top artists. Highly enjoyable performance, long to be cherished.
The period instruments give this rendition an outstanding quality, sheer perfection ! Kudos to these amazing musicians and AV crew.
Hello, how are you doing
Nice meeting you dear
Brava!!!!!! to our ladies, Alana, Carla and Cynthia. Bravo to VoM for the excellent, over the top, compilation, production and presentation. I particularly love the joy written all over Alana in the giving! Certainly joy on my end of the wire in receiving. You all, the entire VoM ensemble, soloists, production crew are the very best! Something of true greatness still comes from San Francisco. Donate fellow listeners! I know I must have this available to maintain and continue.
Thank you so much!
I heard the communication between all the instruments, I see the joy on everyone's face, I feel my heart beats for the scenes of four seasons. My respect and praise for this top-ranking performance. Bravo...❤
I believe this is by far the best performance ever from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons and the sound quality is also marvelous.
Miller-Freivogel is absolut worlclass on the violine🥰
BRAVO👏
The quality in these is something else. It's like they're playing right next to me. Wonderful work!
Thank you, we appreciate it.
the 4k really makes it feel like im there
A high-quality audio codec is used for these recordings: Opus stereo at ~136 kbps. (you can verify using youtube-dl -x). That's far superior to mp3 or most other audio codecs at this bitrate, but isn't atypical of current UA-cam recordings which are generally encoded in either opus stored in a webm container, or m4a. Of these two, opus is the better codec.
¡Bellisima interpretación muy hermosa!
¡La mejor 👍🏻!
I'm not easy to impress, I'm not weepy...but this...THIS brought me to tears! This is so immensely beautiful! It speaks to my heart and soul.
Just came across this performance. I have no words. That people exist this artistically gifted is beyond any superlative I can come with up with.
why is the sound on this channel better than every other classical music youtube channel? The quality of these performances and the dynamics of the recordings are absolutely mindblowing. sheesh. made my day
This is one of the prettiest and accurate performances I have heard on youtube. No stiff notes or unnecessary freedoms.
Can't donate because I don't have a card. But I promise to not skip the ads in the other videos. Even on a small Bluetooth speaker, the quality is incredible. Just on the first part, already uplifted.
Thank you.
This is the best performance I’ve heard in all my life! Vivaldi is applauding you from wherever he is! Wonderful!!
Thank you, it was an adventure!
I agree. This is the first time I've really liked The Four Seasons
The best "Spring" I ever heard... soft and powerful...perfect and beautiful!!
The talent of the group is amazing, my new task is to see them in person!
What I enjoyed the most is the facial expressions and emotion they place into this!
I especially enjoyed Cynthia's smile and smirks! She is impressive to say the least!
This is now my at work background music, really sets a tone for the shift!
This is full of expression, full of everything I need in this world. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is an exquisite masterpiece that never fails to captivate with its timeless beauty and evocative melodies. The way Vivaldi weaves the elements of nature into his music is truly enchanting, and your performance of it brings out its brilliance even further. It is nothing short of breathtaking. Your exceptional skill, passion, and interpretation shine through every note, bringing this timeless composition to life in a truly remarkable way. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world and allowing us to experience the magic of the Four Seasons through your artistry.
I am speechless with amazement and I can only say thank you for all of this you brought to the world. ❤
Ive seen this a 1k times and still amazes me the quality and professionalism of the interpretation
I've listen Vivaldi many and many times but this is the best version of all.
Superlative audio quality, superlative execution, I can't ask for more.
Bravi!
Over the years I have listened to countless versions of this work. I did not think that I would be surprised. This recording is simply in a league of its own. Bravo! Absolutely brilliant. And the sound quality.....OMG!! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Stunning! In complete agreement with the other comments posted here. Musicianship, performance, acoustics, recording quality, cinematography, as well as comprehensive notes and a transcript, too. An utterly compelling experience - at so many levels - and the best I've come across. A shining example of Vivaldi. Congratulations.
When you thought this piece cannot be outdone by anyone anymore, how wrong was I… it brought tears of joy and excitement, thank you so much for this.
The best interpretation on youtube. Vivaldi would be proud of you. Congratulations!!!
These musicians make the world worth live in. Bravo!
Such an amazing concert, Alana, Carla, Cynthia they all perform so masterfully, they're loving every second playing, and it feels the same way to watch... they bring a smile to me each time I see these video. My absolute favorites forever!
I have fallen in love. This is so captivating, headphones on and the world outside has stopped.
For me, the only thing the human race can do together in perfect harmony, love and devotion, is producing music like this.... from inside, no conductor. Wow!
I love how expressive the musicians are. They are breathing life into the music and you can really imagine what Vivaldi wants to convey in each movement.
Yessss
I've noticed the best musician become one with their instrument, Voices of Music musicians demonstrate this so beautifully.
literally breathing
Came across this channel this afternoon, and was in paradise. It is now the next day and still listening. They are incomparable and agree with the commenter about the sound engineers. This has to be one of the best recording channel's out there.
Winter is something else, so much technique and emotion
My favorite ❤
This assemblage of performances revivifies this havkneyed work and shows Vivaldi to be one of the founders of the Sturm und Drang style for which CPE Bach is so justly celebrated. Wonderful performances, all!
I burst into tears listening this phenomenal performance. Bravo! Believe even Vivaldi himself would appreciate it.
Some people claim that the sonics distributed on UA-cam are compressed, and far from hi-res, but I find them flawless, at least in these publications. I use ultra high-end headphones, and this sounds irresistible to me….
Using optimized DIY electronics myself and concur, no lack in dynamics.
Opus stereo at ~136 kbps gives very good results!
I have to admit I live with my ordinary, but contemporary, laptop but being on a farm - by myself - I can bring the level up to concert without bothering anyone and find the response just so good. As a reasonable harpist I feel I have a good "ear" and those strings just talk to me. Mind you, Christmas is coming - and 40 deg days when retiring inside so a decent headset looks like coming my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sofya
Well-engineered audio will sound better than averagely-engineered audio even when compressed to streaming bitrates! Makes a difference.
@@AmbroseCadwell Makes sense, but of course I wouldn’t mind hi-res audio from UA-cam similar to streaming services.
Every time I watch/listen to Voices of Music perform this, I get chills. Such beauty and skill in a performance! You can tell they enjoy what they are doing as well. It one thing for adults to be able to hear the beauty in it, but my nieces and nephews, under 1-4 years old, are mesmerized! The accoustics of the church are fantastic and sound engineering amazing! Thank you so much!
Only just "found" Voices of Music and I have THIS to enjoy. Thank you so so much, Sofya in the depths of the Australian bush.
Enjoy!
We are better people by listening to this…Not necessarily more virtuous, just better….We go to a better place in our mind and our imagination. Thats why this music is timeless.
So simply true!
今まで何千回と「四季」は聴きました。
その中で最高のPerformanceです。
その会場で直接、目と耳と体、心で体感したかった❤
I have listened to this piece countless times growing so sick of it, yet Voices of Music never fails to keep me invested in a piece no matter how tired I am of the melody.
Do you need to go to doctor if you are sick ?
BRAVO! Once again, I found myself entirely delighted with the incomparable performance of the outstanding musical group "Voices of Music, Freivogel, Moore, Youssefian." You are all amazing. This time around, given the variety of concertmasters, I was in a position to notice how distinct each one of the ladies perform the leading part, all of which, of course, are marvelous! Congratulations to such a splendid, perfectly well coordinated orchestra!
Thank you very much!
@@VoicesofMusic I'm so sad that I did not earn a "heart stamp" from you... :-(
@@Amadeu.Macedo from all of us: ❤
I love how different the 3 ladies are as performers. So distinct from each other, and so crazy talented. It really is a wonderful collection of performances, a true journey through the seasons. A delight each and every time I find myself here.
Absolute Perfection! The musicians - directed here, by Hanneke van Proosdij, are all true virtuosos! I've been waiting to hear another 'rare' - and in my opinion - 'defining' performance of The Four Seasons for so long now!! Thank you all so much. Stay safe!
Our pleasure!
Dziękuję. Od co najmniej 50 lat kocham muzykę barokową (wtedy ją zaczęłam odróżniać od innej klasycznej muzyki) i Vivaldiego ,,Cztery pory roku". Zbieram różne wykonania tego i z różnych krajów- ale to wykonanie jest w pierwszej piątce najlepszych. Piękna wersja, słyszę w niej ptaki, pnące się ku słońcu rośliny, szum drzew... I poza wspaniałą techniką wykonawczą, swietnym brzmieniem instrumentow czuję tu też emocje i radość grania. Dziękuję 🙏. Slucham tej wersji (raz w tygodniu, a czasem częściej) będąc w różnych stanach emocjonalno- mentalnych i zawsze coś znajduję nowego, optymistycznego. Życzę Zespołowi i Solistom: Wszystkiego Najlepszego 🙌. Serdecznie pozdrawiam 👋.
I love this interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, it feels like the musicians are enjoying the moment, rejoicing and celebrating life and the existence of the world, Vivaldi must feel very happy to receive this tribute in his honor.
I could not count how many times I played this video from beginning till the end. Such a marvellous video. Thanks for all
You're welcome!
Красиво редкостный концерт, столько солистов, каждый инструмент индивидуален, сам проект концерта задуман и продуман, исполнение прочувствовано, запись профессиональная, звукорежиссер бесподобен - ничего лишнего... Спасибо. Браво!!! И канал посмотрел - богатейший материал...)))
Much more than a simple expression. This interpretation of Vivaldi is shown alive making a number of different emotions perceptible in time and space in which the music is transmitted.
Thanks to his interpreters as well as to the acoustic conditions in its entirety that this recording shows.
A great wonder of nature among so many perceptible waves in our 21st century.
Thanks for sharing
I've always liked the female interpreters for the Four Seasons. In my opinion, women feel Vivaldi in their souls. You guys are absolutely spectacular. Thanks.
Wow, Thanks for the best interpretation of The Four Seasons ever. All the members were blessed with exceptional talent.
You're very welcome!
