“Easy entrance, difficult exit.”

questa è l'Italia la culla dell'arte,della musica barocca e classica,della cultura,un passato che oggi è sempre presente!!!!!

Gringolts is a veritable freak of nature, with those L-H fingers that can play any and all knuckle-busting combinations. "We're not worthy, we're not worthy...!"

Nella prefazione del 12o concerto dall'arte del violino Locatelli scrive che è facile entrare ma difficile uscire... Ha voluto rappresentare in musica il concetto del Labirinto! La creatività...

16:30 LOCATELLI: k guys I'm just gonna solo for a bit [four minutes later … ]

What an interesting and exceptional performance!

Fantastic performance.Even the creator of this difficult piece of music would have appreciated profusely!But I always give to the composer an edge in credits over the performer because of the reason that Locatelli must have created his music alone without even having gadgets for recording, reviewing, rewriting, etc., centuries ago! Bravo.

Sublime!

this is peak baroque shredding, amazing !

Locatelli was an enigmatic book seller. I wonder if he ever played the unusual things he wrote. At 8:40 the violin is playing many after-beats in quick succession which give the illusion that he is falling behind the accompaniment. Steven Staryk has recorded all of the cadenzas from these concertos - only the cadenzas.

Ilya Gringolts è perfetto. Outstanding performance

El arte del violín a un nivel cósmico y celestial... Tremendo compositor barroco...

I love so much your music. ❤🎻

Me caso hoy 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

straordinario....non ci sono parole

Виртуозное исполнение! Брависсимо, Илья!!!

Veramente fantastico, con una gran tecnica.👏👏👏

love locatelli that is not heard enough. ylia makes a fantastic baroque sound and is virtuosi

I wonder who made the drop-dead-gorgeous-and-sonorous sounding violin Gringolts is playing on??! Is it a Strad but strung up in Baroque fashion? It's just so bassy and tenor-ish then bright and vibrant in the higher registers and otherworldly AND CLEAR!!! In Gringolts' hands it's simply amazing :)

Очень доблестно! 👏👏👏

Music gives meaning to sound, from meaning to sound, is born emotion. Pietro Antonio Locatelli, is an Italian virtuoso violinist and composer of baroque music, one of the greatest violinists of his time. Pietro Locatelli : Violin Concerto in D Major, Op. 3 No.12 entitled « Il labirinto armonico ». The score opens with the first movement Allegro - Capriccio. This piece comes from the work L'arte del violino by P. Locatelli published in 1733. The Collection includes 12 concertos for solo violin, strings and basso continuo, to which is added a capriccio for unaccompanied violin inserted in the first and the last movement of each concerto as a sort of cadenza. It's about of a diorama technical possibilities of the violin and from a technical point of view, it reaches the frontiers of the realizable. L'arte del violino has reached a renown and influential because these capriccio are considered to be the most difficult passages to perform in the violin literature of the entire Baroque period. The sonority limpid and imaginative phrasing of Ilya Gringolts are exceptional for this concerto. *Lucien*

Facilis aditus, difficilis exitus...geniale Locatelli e bravissimo Ilja!

0:06 Allegro 2:58 Capriccio I 6:48 Largo 9:58 Allegro 16:31 Capriccio II 21:15 Coda

Bravoooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

Meraviglioso

So happy to see that one of the orchestra's only visible violists is not ostracized or banned for using a shoulder rest in a "Baroque" orchestra... Cannot quite tell if Gringolts manages to pull off all those pyrotechnics without even a chin-rest; sometimes it looks as if he has one, and other times not.^^

great

Bravissimo

4:00 when you listen to this performance, you see the difference between a Stradivarius violin and other violins. one strad violin has sound of an orchestra

Bravo!!! Glory of God!

Awesome job playing such a hard piece without mistakes. Must have taken a serious lot of practice.

LOCATELLI conheceu o L`estro Armonico de VIVALDI...É um grande compositor e violinista vivaldiano...É herdeiro direto de VIVALDI e de outros mestres italianos! Foi muito mais rico e famoso que o Bach! LOCATELLI met L`estro Armonico by VIVALDI...He is a great Vivaldi composer and violinist...He is the direct heir of VIVALDI and other Italian masters! It was much richer and more famous than Bach!

好嘢。

Lovely piece.... it appears Locatelli was the precursor to Paganini.

20:38 METAL TIME

Wasn't there a choral work which started like the beginning of that concerto?

Quand les vrais precurseurs de l art seront reconnus ce musicien a invente l art du violon mais qui le connait de nos jours?...Dans un autre registre le classique Mozart a reconnu ses Maitres, ouf, quand il s est incline devant Carl Philip Emmanuel Bach en le nommant le Pere de la symphonie , notre maitre a tous, ouf, merci Mozart de l avoir dit...

The harpsichordist insists on an impatient and critical eye. Why?

It’s a little bit sharp
