It is truly a sublime piece of music--please though--don't die just yet.

Played this Largo 2nd movement Lute concerto in D Major as my wedding march and the moment it started, I burst into uncontrollable tears, (overwhelmed with joy, marrying the man I love) The song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it as a kid in the 70s. I knew the song was going to be significant to me back then but wasn't the type of girl who dreamed of my wedding... (I'm a bonafide Tomboy) but even Tomboys can be hopelessly romantic... I am so grateful for music like this, it literally feeds the soul as well as contributes to beautiful memories. Vivaldi is a master at conjuring up emotions. ♥

To me Antonio Vivaldi is the most comprehensive and talented composer ever existed. He is able put glorious tunes into almost every instrument and voice. To simply put His tunes are just very very musical, the melody the flow, the highs and lows it just marriages together effortlessly…: Kudos to Antonio to bring such joy to the world for every generations to come.

Le 2ème mouvement est une musique immortelle, éternelle, tellement elle soulève d'émotions, je le joue à la guitare classique et ça me procure un plaisir immense, merci beaucoup

Wow. I just love Vivaldi. Largo is incredible though. Could listen over and over. So I will ...

Did anybody know Vivaldi was a Catholic priest? Unfortunately he wasn't able to say Mass often as he should due in part to his asthma. It was often said of him if he wasn't playing his violin or teaching he said his rosary and breviary often. He had to get a dispensation for limiting his priestly duties due to his health. He was known all over Venice as 'il Prete Rosso', or 'the Redhead Priest' on account of his hair and sense of humor. He did manage to however use his musical and spiritual talents at the girls' boarding school and orphanage called il Ospedale della Pieta by teaching music, religious instruction, offer spiritual counsel, etc He coordinated and organized fundraisers for the school by holding concerts and other performances done by the pupils he taught, which was quite unusual for its time considering girls and women weren't allowed in most churches as choristers or even as musicians, so it wasn't all that surprising to be well-received by one audience and not so accepted elsewhere. In some cases the girls were often not allowed to be seen but heard usually by having them perform either in the back of the sanctuary and behind a grille or curtained partition above the worshipers below. I'm sure it took a little arm-twisting and a little diplomatic tact on Vivaldi's part to convince the powers that be to have him and his all-female performers to perform, though. One mayor asks, "Did you say you have FEMALES performing this work, Padre Vivaldi?" And Vivaldi says with a smile, "Si, Signore Maggiore! Bellissama cantori con carissima voci!" ('Yes, Lord Mayor. Beautiful singers with lovely voices! The proceeds of the concerts go to support their schooling too!") I'm sure he made some of these people an offer they couldn't refuse like arranging a special Mass in thanksgiving from being spared a massive earthquake "You drive a hard bargain, Padre," says the lord mayor as he convinces the city council to have the concert performed by young girls and women! LOL St. Philip Neri, founder of the Oratorian Fathers and Brothers was a close friend of composer Palestrina and had him and his choir entertain Neri's guests with some of his latest sacred works, including seasonal motets and Masses. Palestrina did a series of detailed musical narratives for various seasons and feasts of the Church calendar called 'oratorios' using Biblical stories and old devotional prayers and commentary on the topic as if influenced by ancient Greco-Roman dramas and plays, including that of the chorus of performers and the narrator of the said story. These were known as 'mystery plays' because they taught the common people stories taken from the Bible or on the lives of the Saints in ways they could understand and in some ways relate to and perhaps apply such morals and values to their daily lives and pass them onto their children and so forth.

@@JerryShelby Some of it I read from a few books and my late parents, who were classically-trained musicians, knew some stuff. One of my fondest memories about classical composers doing variations of sacred works and devotional music came from my mother, who was a paid soprano soloist in a church choir. As a case in point, many composers of various faiths had set the prayers, hymns and anthems used in the Mass for many centuries, starting with chants to even classic and contemporary styles. Even the likes of JS Bach (who was a Pietist Lutheran); Britten and Vaughan Williams (who were Anglicans); Rachmaninoff, Bortniansky, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich and Stravinsky (were Russian Orthodox); Leonard Stern (a Messianic Jew) composed a Mass. They were using this medium to express their spirituality and relationship with God as they saw God. My late mother (she converted the the Catholic faith when she married my dad and was also very ecumenically-minded) used to tell me, "If you want to get a full grasp and understanding of the overall history of the Church and her teachings in a nutshell, it comes from one major source and that is in the Mass...past, present and the future!"

I'd say that the 2nd movement is about the greatest piece of classical music ever written for guitar. Even if it wasn't written specifically for guitar, let's just concede that it should have been.

J'aime beaucoup cela. Je pourrais écouter ça toute la journée.

This concerto lo toco en una guitarra Takamine, y es uno de los mas grandes de Vivaldi, genio de las cuerdas como todos los italianos por ejemplo: Albinoni, Sacarlatti, Bocherini. Las cuerdas italianas para mi las mejores de la musica Clasica por siempre.

The second movement was used to great effect in the 1979 film a Little romance starring Laurence Olivier and Diane Lane as well as Sally kellerman.

***** Yes, that was the connection I found. Vivaldi to J.S. Bach to J.C. Bach to W.A. Mozart. The other person who I maintained influenced Mozart with my very remedial knowledge of classical music was Bach. And of course I found Mozart had studied with J.C. Bach and have since listened to some of 'The London Sketchbook'. I'm a guitar player (non-classical) even though I LOVE classical music. I find it very interesting to see some connections to contemporary music in classical music, like when Beethoven 'invented' ragtime in the 'Grosse Fugue'. I find myself constantly astounded by how the great composers defied the norms of the times. It is equally astounding how they could martial incredible resources to bring their works to life.

A movement of extreme beauty bookended by two movements of funky. It doesn't get any better than this. I think of Handel and Bach as technically superior to him, but he's better at evoking emotions. Those robotic German engineers just can't quite do it as well.

Qué hermoso es el segundo movimiento.

First movement - about as close to an American folk theme as a classical piece can get. Second movement - background music in search of a movie or a TV show. Third movement - one of the most underrated classical pieces in the world.

When I was a child, many, many, many decades ago, the 2nd movement was used in an advertisement on TV. (It may have been for insurance.) A mare was watching her foals playing in a field. They were filmed in slo-motion, and at that time, it was the most beautiful, and moving piece of film and music, I had ever seen. I want this played, when I am on my deathbed, reminiscent of Edward G. Robinson in ‘Soylent Green’.

Scriviamo tutti al sindaco di Venezia o al governatore della Regione Veneto perché si possano realizzare una statua anche con donazioni, grande quanto quella di Mozart a Vienna.

This will probably sound like heresy but playing the Largo section with quarter notes at 46 bpm or slightly slower works better for me. Most people play it adagio with an eighth note pulse (with quarter notes around 30 bpm) which probably works better with strings as a contrast to the first movement. I only perform the second movement unaccompanied as a stand alone piece.

What is this piece musically technically called at 5 :09 ff? Thanks.

🙏🙏🙏

does anyone know who performed this,guitar and orchestra.

In a perfect world, the first movement would be the best known, the second one would not have been co-opted by Sesame Street, and there would be at least one dance routine set to the third one!

True the guitar is such an underrated tone instrument in an orchestra but if it weren't for Andres Segovia it would been relegated as secondary and not on par with other string instruments such as the violin.

The guitar solo can barely be heard against the massive strings in the beautiful second movement. The guitar part is important, the held chords are very much background.
