We were in Venice last month and heard this played in a concert by Interpreti Veneziani. A superb group of baroque musicians. This group of musicians and dancers are remarkable also. I love Baroque music.
A wonderful, rousing performance of La Follia, by Vivaldi. The dancers turn a baroque music into an almost flamenco dance. It's unbelievable how a church may be transformed. Besides, "Follia" allows to be interpretated madly. Grazie per questa splendida, travolgente esecuzione.
Yrs ago (well, decades) I dated a dance critic in NYC. She took me to a concert of early ballet which evolved into what we know now. This brings back that pleasant moment. Thank you performers and musicians!

@@kellyhenderson9972 Dance of Follia is origin from Spain and Portugal, aren't Italian. In period baroque half Italy ruled for Spain. Naples, Sicily and Milan dominated for Spanish. Castanets are Spanish percusions used in dance Fandango of Boccherini too.

Que belleza el sonido de esas castañuelas. El bailarín se luce , es soberbio y La Folia de Vivaldi interpretada por Voices ofMusic...........es el paraíso . Bravo !!
I had read somewhere in YT that all the different versions of La folia were based on an Italian folklore about the dance of a mad young girl. After watching the exquisite performances of the dancers and musicians it occurred to me that it was about a lovestory between a noble man and a pretty young girl ( pretty in all senses especially seeing and hearing). The exquisite dancers and wonderful musicians have converted the Vivaldi gem into much more beautiful piece of artwork. Gracias.
Oh! 10 years ago I discovered this interpretation of Vivaldi, I imagined the dance a little different, but no less brilliant and elegant than this, remembering the first time I heard it, I liked it so much that I repeated the video several dozen times, a few more later that my neighbor shouted: There are more videos on UA-cam! 🤷
I am astonished that there are actually people who have registered a dislike for this! Once again I om in awe of the musicality and professionalism of the musicians and especially the dancers on this video - definately one of my favourites!
Браво! Брависсимо! Прекрасная история любви, рассказанная в танце. Движения изящны, и лирика, и экспрессия. А музыка выше всяких похвал, замечательное исполнение. Благодарю от всего сердца!
The dancing is marvelous, but it tends to overshadow the fact that the musical performance may be the finest version of Vivaldi's "La Folia" on youtube.
Ah, as soon as I saw the dancers, I thought, "brilliant!" Adding baroque dancers is a great, great idea! Thank you for posting this video! Damn, I wish I could have seen it live. Bummer! Mesmerizing, riveting. Music and performance are superb, but the baroque costumes are fantastic! My favorite period of history in art, dress, architecture, and most of all, music. Plus it has JS Bach! Love the castanets! Nice touch and a perfect addition.
Maravilloso. Por un momento, aunque sean solo unos minutos, uno se transporta al mundo anterior a la revolución francesa, cuando todavía existían lo bello, lo noble, lo bueno y lo justo. Aunque sea apenas un reflejo visto por el rabillo del ojo de lo que fue el mundo de ayer.
BELLÍSIMO!!!!! Me hicieron viajar en el tiempo, como si de verdad estuviera en el s. XVII. Delicado, romántico, perfecto. Gracias por subir estos vídeos que son bálsamo para el alma.
Agree it looks stylish, but spare a thought for the dancers who probably don't feel all that comfortable having to dance with a mask on. Hats off to them...
What an absolutely stunning and gorgeous performance! I love how an entire story was told so clearly through both the dance and the music! Wonderful job to everyone involved!
This is not Flamenco, not even close, so it is only natural you've never seen flamenco like this, because this has little to nothing to do with flamenco.
Pois... só que a dança e o estilo não é Espanhol, é Português, simplesmente Lully (compositor do Barroco) que tornou moda La Follia, confundiu a origem porque na época Portugal "era Espanhol" (dinastia filipina).
Luis Baptista Portugal was of Spain in this time, por eso en la Folia se baila como un fandango, seguidilla o españoleta. La Folia es del siglo XVI, escucha La Folia Rodrigo Maritnez, o La Folia de Espagne de Marin Marais, o La Folia de Gaspar Sanz, etc.. que fuera en origen portuguesa no lo dudo, pero la fama y como baile se la dío España, solo hay que ver este baile

Folias are from Spain and Portugal originally. Which is why they always sound so Spanish regardless. In fact, during the Baroque and Renaissance period Spain and Portugal were the most powerful countries on Earth. So the Iberian influence on the era is clear. Hence the name Baroque, which is a Portuguese/Spanish word.
Spettacolo meraviglioso per la bellezza della musica, la bravura e la leggerezza dei ballerini e anche per la storia mimata e recitata. Ritmo travolgente .un grande applauso.
10 Years from now on this still never gets old because I love Classical in Baroque style
Thank you
¡ Las folias de España ! El que fue un gran género en mi pais, España, pero fue Vivaldi el que hizo la mas virtuosa de las obras.
Mas que Arcangelo Corelli?
@@wolfwingenfeld5200 Gracias.No lo conocía. Por lo que veo muy bueno!

trovo davvero gradevole questa mescolanza tra Venezia e la Spagna ..

The Flamenco angle is an interesting one...
The best channel on UA-cam. I have never found another which comes close to this quality of art. Thank you. This video is a gem.
☺☺☺☺☺☺
@@rodilenesantos5583 KY
Everybody who has NOT seen and heard this piece does not know what art is. Absolutely fantastic artwork.
Monsieur J’ai suis d’accord avec vous
Je suis d'accord aussi mais on live!
You could call anything art if u want.
The taste decides what art truly is to someone.
What an extraordinarily prescriptive generalization to make given your so very limited view of what art is.
Very graceful and elegantly stylized.
I can see how this would have evolved into ballet.
Yrs ago (well, decades) I dated a dance critic in NYC. She took me to a concert of early ballet which evolved into what we know now. This brings back that pleasant moment. Thank you performers and musicians!
Captivating performance. Bravo!
Breathless. Stunning. Just during my lunchbreak.
bon appetit!
They sure knew how to do a beautiful courtly dance back then. These are incredible, intricate steps.
Good heavens! Brilliant! Inspired! Ingenious! Masterful! Sublime! Thrilling! Transporting! Magic!
Thank you!
iam sure Mr Goya and Velasquez are enjoying this from heaven ,! Best channel EVER!
This is an absolutely astonishing performance! I am now madly in love with the La Folia!!!
Technically, La is, grammatically speaking, an article in of itself, so putting the and la together is redundant.
@@gaopinghu7332Well no, "La follia" its a title, and without the article, it could mean anything.

La Folia of Vivaldi, dance of my Spain with castanets. _Very beautiful interpretation; very Spanish._
Thanks so much!
Italians used castanets in their dancing as well. Which this is of Baroque Italian period. Venetian masks etc.

Some 150 composers used "La Folia": en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folia
La confunde con la "tarantella". Los ritmos y melodías básicos de la "folía" provienen de la península ibérica
Folia means joy or fun and not madness in Portugese.
que belleza la combinacion de la elegancia y la hermosura de la composicion, es como si me transportara a otra dimension. esto es arte.
es muy español
This couple is a great and very gifted pair. Dancing to this beautiful music made it more exciting to watch. Bravo!

They remind me of a pair of birds of paradise , displaying to each other. Very beautiful.
I find the art of baroque ballet truly beautiful
È meraviglioso come i due artisti siano capaci di dare espressione alle maschere che indossano, con le loro movenze!!! Semplicemente stupendi!!!!
Grazie.

Adorable cette performance! Très espagnol. Je l’adorais.
The dancing is marvelous, but it tends to overshadow the fact that the musical performance may be the finest version of Vivaldi's "La Folia" on youtube.
Apollo's Fire does an absolutely jaw-dropping interpretation of this piece as well (no ballet, though - just music).
My life is now complete, thank you.
La Folia is a dance spanish.
¡¡VIVA ESPAÑA!! no it isn't it's a classical song for classical dancing Spanish dancing is more faster
La Folia with castanet very Spanish.

I love the fact that they are wearing masks. It gives the performance an eerie, otherwordly feel, like two Meissen figurines come to life. Excellent !
Peter Karargiris it makes me think of the movie "Eyes wide shut" though
Agree it looks stylish, but spare a thought for the dancers who probably don't feel all that comfortable having to dance with a mask on. Hats off to them...
Venetian masks.
Agree. very appropriate in this Age of the Corona.
@@hanwenhengliu3776 No, the man is a very well known dancer, as is the young lady.

That was amazing. I have never seen anything like this before. So elegant!
This is the first time I Can really see the Follia executed by dancers.
Great.. Thanks for this marvelous channel !
You're welcome!
How featly they foot it; such exquisite,elegant dancing; i just love it as the one of the best things I have seen on you tube.
Можно ли себе представить барочную музыку без интерьеров и костюмов, как сейчас часто делают на самом деле в целях экономии.
Absolutely stunned. An incredible performance!
Weirdly beautiful! was totally fascinated by the dancers - wow... never seen flamenco like this! An absolutely brilliant performance by all.
This is not Flamenco, not even close, so it is only natural you've never seen flamenco like this, because this has little to nothing to do with flamenco.

That was amazing. Truly amazing.
Fabulous! This is where ballet came from. This is exactly the stuff Louis XIV was doing at Versailles in his all night dance extravaganzas!!
Enjoyable and fun to watch. Love the story that was unfolding through dance and music. You don't see that everyday!
Bellísimo....el bailarín es muy bueno y la idea de las mascaras muy original..!!!
Truly authentic. For a moment, I thought I was seeing something live from the turn of the 17th Century.
Outrageously marvelous. I was enchanted.
Thanks so much and thanks for subscribing.
The sound of Spinet is simply most glorious!
The best interpretation I've ever heard!! Marvellous!!!
