Yesterday was my first time listening to Viotti....He is an excellent composer and all his music were melodic...That's what i am looking for, So, he became one my favorite composers.....Thanks for uploading.

Thank you to Giovanni Battista Viotti for composing this music, to Franco Mezzena's artistry and to Brilliant Classics for making it available. This has become a favourite of mine over the last few months of listening and sharing with others. We need more sanity like this in a day of malevolent lies, deceit and destruction.

I wonder why? People cannot live without music. No matter where you live, day or night, music always resonates with someone.

Ignorance is not supposed to be bliss, but the chance to be given (another!) unexpected joy, in learning of new works by a previously unknown-to-me composer, by Brilliant Classics, this is, at least, a great compensation for missing wonderful stuff previously missed. Really fine playing of these pieces, too. The works are indeed "light," joyful, but in no way shallow, or without a fullness of emotion. Thanks to all.

If you find yourself here, congratulations! You are already on your way towards winning the game of life

Exquisite!! Delightful way to start my day & discover a composer I had never heard of. Thank you!!!

Melodic and in elegant "light" style.

Four and a third hours of pure listening delight - thank you so much -wonderful.

A brilliant writer for strings in the finest Italian way. Viotti makes my day!

You have my day, I love string quartets. I did not known Viotti , so thank you very much for this marvelous upload.

I have listened to this several times by now, and it becomes more beautiful each time

Viotti composed the tune that later became the French National Anthem -La Marseillaise-it appears in one of his works a decade before Roget De Lisle wrote the words to the tuneduring the revolution.

Finalmente la raccolta completa dei deliziosi quartetti per archi di questo elegante compositore, poco conosciuto. Thanks Brilliant Classics.

Anyone that knows anything about violin knows Viotti 22 already, it was a favorite of Brahms. I think it's the greatest concerto before Paganini and Beethoven, surely must have been influential to anyone that came later. It's great to hear more from this master, a treat for a repertoire junkie like me always looking new music I've never heard before. How many times can you hear the standard literature played over and over?

The Complete String Quartets are spectacular! The violins give a mellow harmonious crystalline tone. Viotti's work is so profound it is simply great to listen. The listener can hear glorious resonating tonality. The players are a wonderful skilful ensemble. The sound of the violins gives an enchanting melody. Viotti's music is ideal to restore sanity! Perfect sound recording.

Wunderschöne und lebhafte Interpretation dieser fein oder perfekt komponierten Streichquartette im gut phrasierten Tempo mit gut harmonisierten und perfekt synchronisierten Tönen aller Instrumente. Die intime und perfekt entsprechende Miteinanderwirkung zwischen den vier Virtuosen ist wahrlich bewundernswert. Danke fürs einteilige Onlinestellen dieser Meisterwerke mit möglichst hoher Tonqualität!

A composer with a space Melody. And the performer returns me, listening to the composer's work, to the space from which the Music was copied. Therefore, Performers are 50% of the Composer's entire work. He is on an equal footing with the Composer. Only with both working it is executed perfectly. The Viatti performance is an example of this.It sounds like a play of light and shadow in the crown of a tree under the influence of the Wind. The musicians bring me back to where the Music was copied from, and at the same time, how it is done. Thanks so much!!!

Well, I learned about a new composer, today. Thank you very much!!

I have known his violin concerto but thank you for acquainting me with the string quartets. Concerti

This channel features a few composers I didn't know. Thank you BC. They were great musicians, almost unknown nowadays.

Traumhafte Melodik, Wunderschöne Musik. vollendete Harmonie des ganzen Orchesters. Ein Werk"aus einem Guß". Excellenter Streicherpart. Ein Spitzenprodukt des Musikschaffens.

I enjoyed playing Viotti in high school and my sister teased me about it because I was a sucker for minuets!

Just discovered this composer today it's great to hear the beautiful violin played so beautifully what a great way to end the day

Wonderful Music Forever !

Nuanced with many flourishes and changes, the music is really subtle. The listener feels lighthearted and perpetually amazed at how much music Viotti could produce with just a single key and 4 instruments. It's classical music at its height for sure; however, sometimes there tend to be hesitation and moments you hope linger but don't, as if the composer were in a hurry, when, it would've been better to have stayed.

Confieso que no conocía a este autor y su obra. Me agrada su música con equilibrio y elegancia: escucharé con más frecuencia a este virtuoso. Gracias a la persona que decidió compartir sus gustos y saberes con este desprendimiento ejemplar ...

Beautiful! So relaxing!!

Thanks so much. Gorgeous pieces, beautifully played and recorded.

Thanks!

Thank you for this posting. Viotti is new to me too! The music is delightful and is extremely well played in this recording.

Great thanks for your sharing Viotti's complete string quartets, who is one of my best favorite composers.

What a treat. Elegant and expressive. Thank you for this.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="3093">51:33</a> The Legend of Zelda fans, this is why we're here.

so lush, majestic and joyful!

Viotti tem um estilo que lembra Haydn e Boccherini. "Elegante e expressivo'', como dito abaixo. Incrível!

Viotti is most clearly no idiotti! Exquisite music and also never heard of him.

halfway through I plugged in my headphones sounds so much better :0 no regrets

lovely, it give flight to my imagination

Una piacevole sorpresa!!!OTTIMO AUTORE;OTTIMA ESECUZIONE,BRAVI!!!

Quite refreshing. Thank you for posting.

Musica Magnifica!!! Grazie

Un compositore da riscoprire e rivalutare, assolutamente.

Brillante idea la de mostrar autores no valorados y salir de los de siempre. Aplauso. Original compositor, una delicia.

Divin ! C'est un merveilleux disquaire qui se trouvait à Venise au Rialto qui m'a fait découvrir Viotti il y a des années. On est tout de suite en Italie lorsqu'on écoute sa musique ; mais il a aussi vécu à Paris et à Londres. Un véritable Européen, en même temps.

There are so many underrated baroque composers

Я не знал этого композитора, для меня было большим сюрпризом слушать его замечательную музыку. Спасибо, что поделились этими великими композиторами и наслаждались их музыкой. До свидания.

From Wikipedia: Giovanni Battista Viotti (12 May 1755 - 3 March 1824) was an Italian violinist whose virtuosity was famed and whose work as a composer featured a prominent violin and an appealing lyrical tunefulness. He was also a director of French and Italian opera companies in Paris and London. He personally knew Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Viotti is new to me, and this is delightful. Thank you!

Звучи много нежно и успокояващо.Благодаря.

I have just discovered another fantastic composer.

I love this new-to-me composer! Why should Mozart get all the spotlight when just as prolific artists were his contemporaries? Thank you for posting. Perfect for work: uplifting but not distracting.

a sheer delight to listen to-- more thanks than I can say for the post!

I've never heard of this composer before. Thank you! This is great music to wake up by. With a cup of coffee, of course. ;-)

Conociendo y disfrutando a Viotti, gracias por compartir.

Thank you for the post. A pleasant surprise.

amazing. thank you!

Muchas gracias!!!🇨🇱😌

These works are the background music for banquets under the cherry blossoms in full bloom having gorgeous Bento ， delicious foods ， treats and drinks , From Tokyo of the Rising Sun Which are you watching from ？

Gracias. Apenas para la cuarentena

Simply beautiful

Don't know the reason why such a great composer is so unbeknown.

Very Amazing!

A veritable pearl.

Wonderful art. Top. 💥💯💯💥🙌

Realmente Una Muy Buena Seleccion. El listado de las melodias y sus tiempos nos ayudan a conocer mas de esta musica

Fantastische Klänge!!! Tepper Michael.

En extremo agradables melodías. Excelente inclusión de composiciones. Gracias.

This is very good music. I never really knew that there was a composer known as Rotti.

Wonderful, thank you very much!

Thank you!

Wonderful 🥰🥰🥰

Nagyszerű élmény egybe ilyen sok Viotti quartettet meghallgatni! Hegedűversenyeiből már elég sokat ismerhetünk, quartettjei viszont eddig nem voltak elérhetőek sem kottában, sem hangzóanyagban. Ideje volt felfedezni és eljátszani őket!

he looks like a high quality 2000's game character

Excellent Audio

GRACIAS POR ESTA MUSICA BELLISIMA, DELEITA MUCHO A MI ALMA...

Cảm Ơn Chân Thanh Đến Sự Chia Se Từ Chương Trình....KIẾN THỨC TIM HIỂU... MỘT ...Buổi Sáng Còn Sương... BÊN....Cội Tùng Trăm Trượng ... ĐÓA...Hoa Nở Lạ Thường.... (Trích Thầy VM)

Thank you.

Assomiglia vivajdi=bravi!

On Amazon a reviewer of this set mentions the cavernous reverb that saturates these recordings, and I have to agree. Too reverberant for what is meant as intimate chamber music. This sounds like it was recorded in a large empty hall with the microphones places several yards away from the players. But aside from that the music and the playing are very beautiful. I can live with the reverb, considering the lovely, mellifluous music. I am glad Viotti has been rediscovered and I will bet that sooner or later other ensembles will record these gems, and hopefully with a more intimate microphone placement.

Красиво

Muy agradable

Viotti é perfeito, assim como Haydn e outros contemporâneos, mas acho ainda preso ao formalismo clássico. Embora contemporâneo de Mozart (pelo menos na sua primeira metade de vida) acho que não acompanhou (como outros) o estilo mais leve do austríaco.

wow 😳

What a wonderful collection! May I ask where I can find the sheet music for any of these pieces?

WHEN? Needs to be on title page.

Schade, dass es nicht mehr auf CD erhältlich ist. Ich suche danach, kann es aber nirgendwo finden.

the beginning of the decay of the baroque and the melancholic and irrational romanticism

Excellent! I can't help but wonder why he isn't better known. Perhaps it's only in provincial U.S.A. that he is not . . .

Unfortunately, no link to physical CDs.

👍🌹💚

The very first quartet in the video (catalogue number W 2.15) is in G, not in Gb (that would be way too exotic and I'd expect F# notation for string ensemble instead of Gb).

Where are these pipe sounds come from in the back?

sarebbe piaciuto a PROUST.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="199">3:19</a>:30

Класс.

Brilliant Classics, is the first Quartet really-really G Flat? Because it is the first time classics have G Flat, usually F Sharp, I mean the Quarto Concertato No. 3

He made just major compositions? No minor? Always sound happy.

Servants, divertimento please.
