Thank you all for keeping this music alive!

A wonderful baroque drawing of this violinist lady Penelope Spencer. All the charm from earthly flowering in the melody of this violin, as it were, to ascension, as it were, "to the third heaven" in the flowering of clouds. And the basso continuo group (Jakob Rattinger - Viola da gamba, Rüdiger Kurz - Bass gambe, Rien Voskuilen - Cembalo) is similar to the pichikato (pizzicato) dance of angelic feet. I love the music of Antonio Bertali was an Italian composer and violinist of the Baroque era of Verona who received early music education there from Stefano Bernardi and who was violinist i.e. in court musician in Vienna by Emperor Ferdinand II. In 1649, Bertali succeeded Giovanni Valentini as court Kapellmeister. Its very nice that Bertali's compositions is masterpieces of operas, oratorios, a large number of liturgical works, and chamber music. Particularly his operas are notable for establishing the tradition of Italian opera seria in Vienna.

Parte della sua opera musicale è stata perduta 😢.

Overwhelmed. Oh, wonderful.

Une telle musique devrait être obligatoire dans toutes les écoles. Quel bonheur. Un grand merci aux musiciens. Ils sont merveilleux.

Great playing. Great musicians. Thanks for sharing, Penelope.

This music and the performance are both exalting. So evocative; so affirmative; so branching; so grounded! thank you for all your years of study to bring this delight to others, to encourage the ongoing quest… Greetings from Philadelphia!

¡Excelente interpretación, atrapa los sentidos, felicidades a los músicos, grandes son! 👏👏👏👏🌹

Это танец.))) И сыграно прекрасно!)

How wonderful is this nearly forgotten music, still so lively, beautiful, joyous. Bravo to the small and lovely ensemble here.

Bertali's Chiacona has a heavenly quality throughout the piece. So many possible variations can stem out from the music to create something as breathtaking as this. Mazel Tov to you and the other musicians! I hope to one day perform this myself!

My gratitude Penelope, Jakob, Rüdiger and Rie. Thank you so much for sweetening my soul with their execution. Greetings from Queretaro, Mexico.

C'est vraiment une musique envoûtante qui pourrait ne jamais prendre fin .Le violon est au mieux de son délire et c'est revigorant.Merci pour cette belle interprétation.

Dankeschön, sehr genossen❤❤❤

Thank you. Very airy feeling. Well done.

THE BEYOND EXCELLENT SOUND QUALITY IS AWESOME, SUCH CLEAR TONES

What a delight! Magnificent!

Exquisite!

Excellent ! I like the slower tempo much more ! Great job !

Estasi barocca. Grazie!

8:12 to me is like the soundtrack to a runaway train, something Bertali surely could not have imagined.

Спасибо! Без ума от скрипачки!

I absolutely love listening to the chaconne/canario musical form. Just plain fun to hear!

C'est curieux qu'aujourd'hui nous n'avons plus de compositeur aussi remarquable qu'autrefois pour nous proposer des belles musiques fort appréciables telles que celle-ci. Par bonheur nous avons d'excellents interprètes tels que ceux-ci pour nous régaler nos oreilles avec le bel héritage musical d'autrefois qui nous permet de fuir les nuisances sonores bruyantes qui nous Torturent les oreilles et le cœur.!

Merci c'est fabuleux ça nourrit mon âme❤❤❤❤❤❤

Божественно! Пасиб )))

🙌🙌🙌

I understand that a viola de gamba is not only harder to play but quite a different instrument when compared to the cello (not that I am suggesting the cello is easy). It is great to see these instruments still being played today.

Merci beaucoup ♥️

Bravo ❤️❤️❤️

Bravo!

Thanks

❤❤

Beautiful,thank you. Amazing to me was the plucking of both accompanying instruments simulataneously. The left one is a bass and the one on the right a cello ?

They are viols, not (double) bass and 'cello, bass gambe and viola da gamba, a different family. They have frets, and more strings, probably of gut. But they are what the double bass and 'cello replaced as the usual instruments in that register.

Nice acoustic - where was this recorded?

What is this bass progression called? I've heard it in multiple compositions.

I agree there´s something wrong with the acoustics. But I was not aware of this composition.

Найс запердолили.Зачёт.

Big pegs

The balance seems off; 3 continuo seems overdone given this acoustic. In situ the balance may have been better; sensitive and engaged playing from all.

It is no studio recording, look how the Mikes are placed... 😮, sure a more absorbing medium would have been optimal, less reverb, more space between instruments, an overhead x pair, and a pair for each instruments that would have been the optimal take on a 8 independent track recorder. Overall, I like Rien's style and I like this video for it is vivid and spontaneous.

La musica antica è spesso poco conosciuta, purtroppo...
