At 9:14 I had never heard this section WITHOUT the slowing down, like in most recordings. I had to look at the sheet music to see that THAT is how it's WRITTEN!!!! (Although the tempo is much higher here) I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT THIS WAY!!!!!
Vivaldi was the rock star composer of his day. Sato plays it like contemporary rock as much as that is possible and from what my ears tell me - it works.
Don't forget to read Vivaldi's sonnet to fully understand the piece: Allegro non molto Under a hard season, fired up by the sun Languishes man, languishes the flock and burns the pine We hear the cuckoo's voice; then sweet songs of the turtledove and finch are heard. Soft breezes stir the air, but threatening the North Wind sweeps them suddenly aside. The shepherd trembles, fearing violent storms and his fate. Adagio e piano - Presto e forte The fear of lightning and fierce thunder Robs his tired limbs of rest As gnats and flies buzz furiously around. Presto Alas, his fears were justified The Heavens thunder and roar and with hail Cut the head off the wheat and damages the grain.
Shunske Sato leads his fellow musicians close to the edge and through an exciting interpretation of Vivaldi's masterpiece. For me this is music with a capital M. Thank you so much.
you know what i‘m jealous at… as a pianist we‘re really actually limited what kind of sounds we can produce. and SATO REALLY KNOWS THAT HE CAN PRODUCE SO MANY THINGS WITH HIS INSTRUMENT. he really gets EVERYTHING from his instrument. congrats.. what can i say bro
Whatever style 1st violin wants to impulse, this interpretation shows that, again, Vivaldi Summer universal masterpiece puts the background orchestra in the middle of the storm. They rock like hell. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
idk, the feeling of hearing this like he's on a race to end summer as fast as possible. It feels like its played on 2x speed. The way he plays also sounds very rough.
Truly breathtaking. I thought I would never hear a different interpretation of this piece, but this recording forced me to stop what I was doing and listen in awe!
I've heard many versions of The Four Seasons, but this one is definitely the best I've ever heard! :) Fantastic dynamics, feeling of the music. And recorded very clearly :) I love it!
Antonio Vivaldi was one the greatest musician of all the. His level was up above the sky. What a pity that only people on earth can listen to these masterpiece
Wow! How to put new life into an over-played piece... Of the (far too) many recordings of this concerto, this is the best I have ever heard: hugely exciting and inspiring.
This may be closer to Vivaldi's time interpretations then modern ones (Even historically informed) . I think solists allowed themselves to be extremely wild before. Bravi as usual!
My university used to place a bowl of cherry cough drops (Wrapped in wax paper because they are less noisy) at the 2 entrances of the concert hall. Great investment.
Thanks! Normally we only record works of Bach indeed. However, the NBS also regularly performs works by other composers. Since Vivaldi's Four Seasons was part of a program with other (Bach) works, we decided to record this work as well this time.
@The MIDI Bach Project let's not forget that Bach literally "revived" Vivaldi's works , because Vivaldi , he was gone almost unknown to people ( because the trends have changed in the time Vivaldi was old) and after he died he was completely unknown anymore , almost no one haved interest in his music until Bach discovered his works and was very inspired ( even wrote some pieces that were inspired from Vivaldi's works) . The same story almost about Bach , Mendelssohn haved "revived" Bach. It exist even an rumour around that Mendelssohn when he get to a butcher to buy some meat , he observed that the butcher used some manuscripts that were actually sheets of music , to put his meat in it.
@@bach I'd love to hear the rest of this set (especially La Tempesta di Mare) and L'estro Armonico at some point, though that's just the voice of one random fan a bit across the globe!
¡Sublime interpretación! Un derroche de originalidad para hacer aún más hermosa tan maravillosa música que alimenta el alma despertando todos los sentidos. Infinitas gracias por compartirla. 👍 👏🌝⚘🎁🎶
What a wonderful interpretation. Captures the essential spirit of this set of concerti. I have so much respect for the Netherlands Bach Society that they could play this on washboard and tin whistles and I would think it the best performance I ever heard. I only recently discovered the NBS - where have I been?
I am very very impressed by the tone, the coulours, the dynamics and many very new ideas I'm hearing. Just sometimes I feel it's too fast, but hey this is really really good!
Thank you so much! Shunsuke Sato - you are going deep into the heart of summer! All others, too. Brillant and maybe the best interpretation I've ever heard.
Bravo Mr. Sato... and bravi tutti to your NBS colleagues. Thank you for an absolutely thrilling performance. My husband is usually bored by Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", but he was at the edge of his seat for this performance. You're an extraordinary player, of Vivaldi as well as Bach. Mille grazie! P.S. Do you also play the Piazzola "Four Seasons of Buenos Aires"?
Non avevo mai assistito ad una interpretazione così coinvolgente e appassionata...! Mi ha preso fino alle lacrime! Shunske Sato, hai ricevuto da Dio un dono eccezionale! Siano sempre lodati ed esaltati il Suo Nome e il suo Amore! 🙌💘🕊️
In classical music concerts, the orchestra needs to add an instrument: the pointer. Not an actual instrument, just someone who stands on stage and points at coughers and gives them stern looks. #breathethroughit
Sato is a genius, totally inspiring.
At 9:14 I had never heard this section WITHOUT the slowing down, like in most recordings.
I had to look at the sheet music to see that THAT is how it's WRITTEN!!!! (Although the tempo is much higher here)
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT THIS WAY!!!!!
I liked it too, but my favorite version so far has been the one from Joshua Bell, really enjoyed this one though
I've heard a million versions of The Four Seasons.
This one gave me chills. I had headphones on, and I thought there was ACTUAL lightning.
I believe you should listen to "Voice of music" version. It's amazing!
Vivaldi was the rock star composer of his day. Sato plays it like contemporary rock as much as that is possible and from what my ears tell me - it works.
Much of VIvaldi's music, especially the violin concertos, have similar structure to much of modern pop and rock music. It worked then, and works now.
He was VERY popular and sadly more in Amsterdam/Graz, Rome, Vienna, and Prague than in Venice
@@rnhtube I think rock music was inspired by it, so keep on Rocking & #StayHealthy
A classical music piece is not rock only because it has a fast tempo. Stop with this shit that Vivaldi was metal/rock.
@@ClassicalMusicAndSoundtracks Who's saying it's just tempo?
finally something original, expressive, thoughtful, and beautiful about this concert... really refreshing!
what do you mean finally? This shit has been out for centuries 💀
@@walker-zero9255 after listening 1000 recordings, some great ones, I finally found one I really like. It's MY opinion...
@@walker-zero9255 b/c it's often played same & boring, not with fresh sound
So much imagination in their playing.
Really gives Summer a new perspective I've never seen before.
Probably the best version out there.
Don't forget to read Vivaldi's sonnet to fully understand the piece:
Allegro non molto
Under a hard season, fired up by the sun
Languishes man, languishes the flock and burns the pine
We hear the cuckoo's voice;
then sweet songs of the turtledove and finch are heard.
Soft breezes stir the air, but threatening
the North Wind sweeps them suddenly aside.
The shepherd trembles,
fearing violent storms and his fate.
Adagio e piano - Presto e forte
The fear of lightning and fierce thunder
Robs his tired limbs of rest
As gnats and flies buzz furiously around.
Presto
Alas, his fears were justified
The Heavens thunder and roar and with hail
Cut the head off the wheat and damages the grain.

Brilliant. Runs chills up and down my spine. Like I never heard it before...
I must say that this interpretation is really original....
There is no doubt Mr. Sato is a genius.

@@yoyoyoaWhich is exactly what I find so intriguing about this recording.
agreed.
Truly breathtaking. I thought I would never hear a different interpretation of this piece, but this recording forced me to stop what I was doing and listen in awe!
I've heard many versions of The Four Seasons, but this one is definitely the best I've ever heard! :)
Fantastic dynamics, feeling of the music. And recorded very clearly :) I love it!
A performance that is wild, spectacular, and majestic all at the same time.
this "drowning" interpretation was so special!!! incredible...
Antonio Vivaldi was one the greatest musician of all the. His level was up above the sky. What a pity that only people on earth can listen to these masterpiece
Period instruments... great, and the courage in interpretation.
The best one I have ever seen... awesome so expressive...
That violin sounds so good!
Wow! How to put new life into an over-played piece... Of the (far too) many recordings of this concerto, this is the best I have ever heard: hugely exciting and inspiring.
The originality, creativity and verve conveyed by the orchestra and soloist is phenomenal!! I love it!!!!
A most remarkable interpretation! Sago is definitely a master!
This may be closer to Vivaldi's time interpretations then modern ones (Even historically informed) . I think solists allowed themselves to be extremely wild before.
Bravi as usual!
That sound he makes is insaaaane!
That's why cough drops are so important during a concert!
Below every cough listed:
0:47 min
3:27 min
5:54 min
6:09 min
6:29 min
6:59 min
7:11 min
7:13 min
7:19 min
7:31 min
7:38 min
7:50 min
7:59 min
8:07 min
8:12 min
8:22 min
LOL.
My university used to place a bowl of cherry cough drops (Wrapped in wax paper because they are less noisy) at the 2 entrances of the concert hall. Great investment.
Concert venues should distribute them freely. My theory is that coughers are in anxiety because attention is focused away from them.
Bloody annoying!
Take the freedom to go into the heart of the piece .
F A N T A S T I C.
I felt the scourging sun of summer exploding inside of me opening up my mind again. Thank you, this was amazing.
I thought NBS only records J.S. Bach's work. By the way, this interpretation is fabulous. Go, Vivaldi!
Thanks! Normally we only record works of Bach indeed. However, the NBS also regularly performs works by other composers. Since Vivaldi's Four Seasons was part of a program with other (Bach) works, we decided to record this work as well this time.
The ensemble playing in the intro section is just insane. So difficult. Fabulous performance!

@@maxverstappennonofficial listen to RV 390 and RV 333
when can the world understand that only this kind of music and quality of music playing would go the deepest in human heart and soul?
A passionate and mesmerizing performance of a work of genius.
Absolutely breathtaking! Bravo! ❤️
Superb in every way as is the case with Netherlands Bach.
All the years I have listened to this and with the help of Sato I have just heard the cuckoo for the first time.
Magicians of NBS, I love you folks, I truly do!!!

Amazing..this is my new favorite channel. Love Vivaldi❤
Vivaldi truly was a rockstar.
Bravo à Shunske Sato et à vous tous !!!

3:31 when my phone battery is at 1% and I need to send my 2-pages of essay to my teacher.
Very accurate hahaha
! Emergency !
this is amazing ! Sato is outstanding! Bravo ! Bravoo !
Incredible performance!
I love this recording so much.
Amo essa interpretação do Shunske Sato. Um belíssimo trabalho.
Non avevo mai assistito ad una interpretazione così coinvolgente e appassionata...!
Mi ha preso fino alle lacrime!
Shunske Sato, hai ricevuto da Dio un dono eccezionale!
Siano sempre lodati ed esaltati il Suo Nome e il suo Amore! 🙌💘🕊️
Evocative - can really feel the effects of a sweltering summer in this arrangement! It tells a story ... beautifully imagined!
amazing colour of dynamics
Que interpretación tan hermosa, lo que daría por estar en una presentación así!
Bellísima tormenta de verano, refrescante interpretación.
Espectacular!!!
Omg thos is so amazing
Insane version. I'm speechless.
Really really so.. bravo ! Very impressive and powerful team! It’s perfect and perfect!
Shunske, per me sei insuperabile! 👍💘🕊️
Who made the violin from mr sato it have an special sound , thanks
This is fantastic.
woooow amaizing, bravo bravo bravo
Chapeau!🎩✨
Remember at the time he was sick when he wrote this. So imagine having a fever and it being summer. He was miserable in this.
In a word: magic!
Yo this is crazy... crazy amazing!!!!!
Amazing! LOVED IT!
Нет слов,чтобы выразить...Божественно!
a real summer adventure
magnifico! めっちゃくちゃカッコいい！！！
im excited !
Almost perfect. I expect a studio version where more control is added would turn this 98% performance to 100%!
You know, thunder and lightning don't come under control!!!😅
Oh, la! This interpretation is just manifique!
Magnificent! !!!
I love the third mvt but the fast tutti sections in the first mvt are unmatched
Although the second and third movements are tremendous, the most beautiful part comes earlier at 1:32
Fantastic !
Wat geweldig wat een passie prachtig 🥰
great!
Hermosa interpretacion.
Rock on!
I was afraid Mr. Sato would start braking his violin against the floor at the end.

3:30 That moment!!
Experimentando en la cocina so much energy!
Magnific
Maravilloso
Canta ese violín mejor que lo propios pájaros. Qué hermosura
Rejoicing!!!
Wauw wat prachtig!!
Esto es otro nivel. 🎻
Bom pra caramba
SOMEONE GET THAT WOMAN A COUGH DROP
This one is good ...
Yeah!
My God! Questa interpretazione ha rivolto Vivaldi Bella tomba. Grazzie...
Nella.
非常特别的四季，有全新的理解。
No es una comprensión nueva. Es la que debió ser siempre
Great playing. Lots of ideas. Maybe to rushy in the final movement....
10:41 really needed that second lute bang :c
9:25 - quite the confidence. With gut there's a 50% that E pops :)
Who is the bastard who coughed at a performance like that???
9:35 wait is that Jens larsen ?
