It’s one thing to hear beautiful music, but to see so many humans from so many places, in every language and style, joint to share their joy and praise. That is the true beauty of this music and the true compliment to the composer and musicians.

I often listened to Arcangelo Corelli during my time at uni. Listening to this sparks so many beautiful memories. Especially Adagio brings tears to my eyes, as it always used to do. Listening to this music I experience true happiness in a way I dont often do. Its beautiful and a joy to come back to. Thank you.

Corellis Christmas Concerto is a classic ...the orchestra glitters and sparkels with brilliancy ...

From its beginning this music reached into my soul and touched every emotion, bitter and sweet, but mostly melancholy at first, like how you might feel at the end of a great romance when you find yourself alone again...the beautiful sadness...then at 1:30 the pulse quickens, like when you find a new love and you become excited about life again. That's what it makes me feel.

Wie wunderbar. Dazu stelle ich mir vor, dass meine Sehnsucht endlich in Erfüllung geht. Danke für Ihre wunderschöne Aufnahme.

Renowned violinist and pedagogue, Arcangelo Corelli spent his entire career in Rome. He composed mainly for the theater, the church and at the service of cardinals. The Concerto « For Christmas Eve » is the most famous of the twelve concerti grossi which were published in Amsterdam a year after his death and constitute his last opus. With this collection, Corelli stands out as one of the first great masters, along with Giuseppe Torelli, of the concerto grosso. This genre eminently representative of Baroque aesthetics, plays on the opposition between a group of soloists the concertino composed of two violins and a cello then a larger string ensemble called ripieno whose numbers can be expanded at will and whose role is to punctuate or reinforce the intervention of the soloists. The eighth concerto in G minor is, like the first seven, a « church » concerto whose movements preceded by tempo indications in Italian alternate between slow and lively tempos, homophonic and imitative writing. The work (concerto da chiesa) is structured in six movements. The final Pastorale, which justifies its subtitle « For Christmas Eve » is linked to the last Allegro, contrasting by its tonality in G major and its tender swaying with of the musette sonorities. This Largo evokes the lovely nativities that the Italian painters of this period, such as Antonio Balestra and others, bequeathed to us. All the allegorical beauty is present in this piece prefiguring classical Harmony. *Lucien*

Wie wundervoll. Ich bin jedes Mal aufs Neue berührt. Vielen Dank und ein gesundes und friedvolles Neues Jahr

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses fein komponierten Konzerts mit gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen aller Streichinstrumente und zurückgehaltenem Klang des Cembalos. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im fließenden doch gut phrasierten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Glückliches Neujahr!

Allen Freunden unseres Orchesters ein glückliches und behütetes 21! Wir werden uns alle wiedersehen! 🙏

Gorgeous music. Wonderful orchestra. Amazing performance. Thank you Maestro Orozco- Estrada.

Corelli: The master of the suspension.

Bravissimo

Корелли-из из абсолютных гениев. Исполнение метрономное, как в музыкальной школе

I really love that. But I think this edition is different, isn't it? This is including less trill and other things. Interesting. 🤔

Smuk og melodisk musik med fine snurrige variationer..

Just put the harpsichordist in the middle to lead. Conductor is moving around like there's an R.Strauss-sized orchestra in front of him.

...

Sublime...
