@Elisha Maam Because it is. Both experience are amazing and it's a wonderful thing. Festivals or parties ? I've been to 3 baroque concerts these 2 last months, maybe you're just not living in an area where they happen a lot. And it's often mostly due to the fact that people don't care about baroque nor classical music, and not at all digitalization's fault. As a harpsichordist myself, I do agree a concert is a wonderful experience, but being able to listen to this kind a performance, several times a day, for hours, everyday, for free sure makes my love and understanding of music grows. And for that I'm thankful and feel extremely blessed, even though I'm a fool, apparently. :D

Elisha Maam ironic complaining about digitalization and then logging onto a computer, launching KZfaq and calling someone a fool.

Elisha Maam there was never an argument about live vs. digital. My father has Dementia and can’t go to a live concert; but has enough focus to watch a youtube video, so hearing silence vs. a nicely packaged KZfaq video....guess which wins? I go to live shows in my area, but performances like this one would never even be known to most if not for KZfaq.

@Elisha Maam I wish you would realize just how fucking stupid you are

Lara Learns Violin so far about 800,000 have viewed this clip, in the life time of these artists how many people had opportunity to listen to these divine music.

Yes, They use that kind of bow on those violins, otherwise it's not a trustworthy baroque violin player

Learned something new today. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this, I really didn't think of this detail so far! :D

Or whose variations.

you made it real, dear Klaus! Always grateful to you*******

I would add the baroque violin as well.

One more thing: I agree with you the 7-string viol tops the list.

One of the pieces here is by the great violinist and composer Alessandro Scarlatti who is the father of Domenico Scarlatti, arguably the greatest composer for the harpsichord and the Chopin of his age.

Henri Lai q

so subtle but beautiful

Y a través de los siglos, desde Rodrigo Martinez en 1490 hasta hoy.

And then there's Richard Wagner.

good music comes in many styles from many cultures

Well, if it ain't Baroque, don't fix it!

@@tehualne LOL Relativists...

It's not. It cannot be compared to Classical period.

YESSS!

The folia is not a single composition,it's more like a "genre" of music that evolved through centuries. You can see the evolution from Rodrigo Martinez 1490 in Spain, Jean-baptiste lully 1650 aprox, Marin Maraise in France and Vivaldi in actual Italy.

***** Can we find more of your music on youtube?

***** You are a SUPERB gambista ! And very handsome!

***** not that I know of

+Hercules Raphael Olimpio Amazing

FOR ME : 'TOTALLY' "A W E S O M E" ! ! SAYS IT ALL . =MARZZY

Esp fine to hear & see it on a large-screen HD screen with a good external sound card (like Sound Blaster) - music lovers should know that computers usually have inferior sound cards.

Wow, both of the women are so beautiful !!! And incredible artists.

In New Haven,CT,1965, my musicke teacher,Martha Blackman, who had been a gamba player with the New York Pro Musica Antiqua still remains one of the best gamba players in the world. Please check her out

+Judith Lerner Thank you. I'll certainly do that. I really like the gamba (I'm copying how you referred to it, in hopes that this is how it's commonly called), its tone and look. So I appreciate the recommendation. Do you play it, or were your lessons with her on another instrument?

Neil H ansford

Augusto Bruna Oui?

there are 6 (or 7) "gambas" in the family. The viola da gamba (on the leg). the violin or viola da braccia (on the arm), and the violoncello di spalla (on the shoulder). These viola di gambi are often called "viols" . Depends what your group refers them to: I call mine the bass viol, or the bass viola da gamba. Quite a lot to choose from...depending who you're talking to....(Sorry if I've mis-grammered some of the da's and di's.)

Fantástico! 🎼👌🏼

Unfortunately here in Brazil, I've never seen a viola like this. About the price, here it would be about 10.000 coins, the same I paid on my cello (and it's not a very nice cello).

Contact Elimar Plinio Machado, an amazing gambist from Brazil. I beleive he is from Londrina or Brasilia. Buena suerte! from Argentina.

I played gamba years ago, rented one from a member of the VDGSA way back when. Not only are they expensive but he cost of strings too was a nightmare for young early highschool aged me. After a 6 year absence of playing cello I have picked one up and am now considering buying my own gamba but I also kinda need a power hammer for my blacksmith shop so...decisions decisions.

people are saying - there is no difference between gamba and viola, uh, what??

The women are so beautiful.

Batoque melody always gives me relaxation.

thank you!

superb

Boris Gonzalez Maybe you should go to the hospital D: Oh, fuck, this comment is from 2 years ago. Sorry boy, maybe you are hearing that songs in wherever you are T _T

@@BaronElBardo 4 years

This is a truth....

Agree. Nothing at all.

I don’t know, music is more about personal preferences, I love this but I like certain contemporary artists and pieces that are also incredible. Saying can’t compete is like confronting styles and cultures which are separated by time and space so really difficult to do and have a coherent conclusion or hierarchy.

thank you!
