I cannot imagine the experience of being present in a theater or music hall in the 16th century and hearing music such as this. It must have been otherworldly.

It is hard to believe that Vivaldi died penniless, even after composing masterpieces like this.

Imagine making the greatest music of all eras. You were so great that after centuries people still listen to your music. LONG LIVE VIVALDI

I've watched this video so many times and still mesmerized. That lady is simply amazing and, well, Vivaldi is the only one.

Imagine seeing this live in the time when there was no electricity or computer generated music. In the time when this was a new release, and vivaldi is the lead violinist in this first public performance. It must have changed the life of every single person in the room. 3/28/21 edit: Wow I come back to this and I'm surprised this blew up. Anyway, I took violin lessons but stopped because it was frustratingly difficult, but beautiful, nonetheless. Much respect for these people who must've gone through a lot behind all that beautiful playing!

It's been years..but I keep coming to Mari's performance...it's EPIC all over 🏆

Вот настоящее исполнение и душа Вивальди!! Трудно даже представить душу и чувства великого Вивальди!!! Исполнение - на высшем уровне!!!спасибо исполнителям и низкий поклон!!!Это музыка- крик души !!!!!

That smile on her face 9:33 knowing she nailed it is priceless. #Bravo!

This piece is almost three hundred years old, music is timeless. We are so lucky that someone decided to keep his music safe in an archive for future generations or we would have never heard this. Just think of all the music and speeches we haven’t heard until recording came into fruition. We are so much luckier than we know to live in the twenty first century.

8:12 : one of the greatest moments in music history

If I had one dying wish it would be to hear Mari at a live concert playing Vivaldi .

Here in June 2024 and this video is showing 40 million views!! Wow that's incredible, and shows the talent of Mari.

i stared playing violin 3 years ago because of this woman...

8:11 is my favorite part :D 1 year later I am back. I played the violin for about 1 year and a half. Violin is one of my relaxing instruments and I love it so much! My finger hurts from pressing on the strings and now i have several hard parts or calusus whatever those are called. I’m excited for my future!!

Décidément cette Marie surpasse toutes les autres dans cette interprétation magistrale que ce soit L'été ou l'hiver de Vivaldi. Tant de talent dans ce petit bout de femme voila le résultat de 300 milles ans d'évolution de l'homo Sapien, en incluant bien entendu le géni bien inspiré de Vivaldi qui a su créé une œuvre intemporelle .

this is a hot, dry summer. dead, dry leaves are on the ground. the crows are fed. this recording doesn't capture all the lows (or highs). incredible performance!

Vivaldi is smiling from heaven. Mari takes this to such a beautiful place and the rest of the orchestra is amazing too.

The end is so chaotic. It's Splendid. Summer's gone, storm is comming.

I'm 14 yrs old and learning this piece, this video is a BIG help

I loved her facial expressions, so emotional. That bit between minutes 8 and nine just slayed me. This music was a great start to my ☀️ summer, now 30 minutes old.

1st movement (allegro): 0:10 2nd movement (adagio): 6:04 3rd movement (presto): 8:10

it still blows my mind how a mere man could write such a piece of music, how much of a genius he had to be. I wonder what went through his mind as he was composing this Edit: mari Samuelson is the one who made me fall in love with summer & I haven’t heard any better summer since.

This is the best version of the four seasons I’ve ever heard. Please lady, release a studio version of these. This is near perfection.

SUPERB! Mari Samuelsen in great Style! What a perfomance to the entire Orchestra!

The amount of control and precision in which she plays is unreal. I literally broke into tears watching this.

8:11 - Vivaldi being the first heavy metal musician hahahah! 10 out of 10 rockers love this part

Anyone from 2024?

from Poland with Love

The guy behind the solist is like "Wtf is going on here? What is she playing? Did I feed the dog?" Can't keep my eyes off of you, dude! XD

How is it possible for someone to create this? Mind blowing...

I can bet Vivaldi would love to hear his composition played at perfection...

In my opinion summer is the best piece of four seasons 😍😍 and Mari

When she closes her eyes. I felt that.

This is some exciting stuff. Can you imagine hearing this back in the baroque period. I'd bet audiences were in shock.

Fantastic. Both Mari, the orchestra and the direction.

Those last 12 seconds of this masterpiece grabbed my heart in a way I cant and could never describe or explain. Vivaldi was more than a genius.

This piece of audio is the pinnacle of human culture. Even the faults, where a little girl screams and a man coughs are right in place. Shows imperfection - and when the girl screams one of the members of orchestra smiles. It is just... perfect.

I don't believe in God, but this music, and Mari playing it.... it is just DIVINE! ❤Thank you for making it even more special!

Una bella interpretazione del nostro "Antonio Vivaldi". 👏👏

this is like a rock band for violins, its incredible! vivaldi is the master

For a Jamaican who listens mostly reggae I can say I have been enchanted by a piece that is so beautiful

Magnifico. Que músicos tan talentosos. Gracias Vivaldi y a estos talentosos músicos por regalarnos tan gran obra maestra.

A riqueza da alma de Vivaldi era imensa demais para a efêmera e ilusória riqueza deste mundo ❤

I love when they all go at it at the same time - like they’re sharing some time of divine enlightenment

8:12 classical music's best moment

My dear Lord and my God! How can someone be so gifted at something?! The hours of practice to master must be countless!

This piece brings tears to my eyes... fabulously played with the emotion it deserves. Thank you.

0:08 I. Allegro non molto 6:04 II. Adagio 8:10 III. Presto (the most famous movement) Love this recording!

This is still the best live performance of Vivaldi "Summer" that I have heard to date.

Vivaldi truly was a rockstar of his time.

I heard they named a season after this piece, I can see why, it’s a very good composition.

I, now, edit this comment approximately 10 months later, because this has had many likes and I need to share that I found the true music, the one that really makes us feel in great pleasure and grace, this is the one that praises the Lord, Jesus Christ. Classical will always have a great technique, and sound, but spiritually, it is empty. Gospel is not wonderful because it’s technique, nor because it’s singers, but because the glory and true love of God, that shines through our hearts when we praise him. All the glory, the honor and the power to the Lord, my Savior and Father. I haven’t stopped with violin playing, but now I play musics that embrace my life and make my soul joyful. Let every living creature praise the Lord. Shout praises to the Lord! Psalms 150:6.

Blows my mind every time, close your eyes the next time you listen to it. It’s a hole different exp

So much energy & Passion , It was meant to be played this way.

Ads should not be allowed during one of these performances! I always cry listening to this piece!

She played the full four seasons on the 7th decemeber 2018 in Lille France, she was amazing. So happy i was able to see this at least once in my life !

I keep replaying the last three minutes, most magnificent!

It was a pleasure to participate with sich talented musicians! I'm the guy who cofs at 4:39

I didn't understand before how people pick their favourite version of a classical piece, it's played the same way by everyone, isn't it? Then I realized it's never the same. This is my favourite for many many years now. The passion, the feelings, the joy just can't get beaten by anyone. Perfect.

Hi all - we have just managed to transfer this video to my channel where it belongs! Bear with us, we are trying to reinstate the comments and descriptions! Thank you for your support and patience. Team M

A Mari Samuelsen,je découvre une déesse jouant au violon *Summer* de Vivaldi accompagnée par l’orchestre ,ne font qu’un,tellement magnifique l’ensemble.Mari est divine .Merci à tous les musiciens .🎇🎻🔝♥️🧑‍🎤

I never get tired of listening to and watching Mari Samuelsen

If only the man who died in poverty could see where his music is now.

I love this performance. It is so magnificent, and I am breath holding each time I hear it. I probably heard it at least a hundred time performed by this gifted Samuelson. Hat off to her.

such an incredible performance. I consider myself a metalhead primarily, but recently I have discovered how incredibly amazing classical music can be. Cheers to newfound adoration!

En verdad, es algo increíble, la mejor interpretación de Vivaldi, no dejo de escucharla una y otra vez… las personas que la acompañan, se merecen un elogio, pero Marie Samuelsen es genial!

Just the sutble movement between a quality of softness into such a feminine power. Blimey, how is it even possible to play any instrument like that. It's like the violen is part of her core self. Astounding. Thank you Mari.

I've probably watched this video over 100 times. Just the best performance of this piece I've heard! Amazing!!

When you’re in quarantine and you miss the outside world, just come here and enjoy summer.

Such an amazing piece of music and performed amazingly too, brought tears to my eyes

Wow! No matter how many times I listen to it, still the same effect " feeling relaxed " 🙏 What a masterpiece!!!

I am 12 years old and I started playing the violin when I was 2 years old. This woman for me is my idol and one day I wish I could get to play like her. A masterpiece! Magnificent, you play the violin beautifully. 🥰😍🎻

I still can’t understand how a human being could convert his emotions and feel of Mother Nature into something magical that gives you chills 😍🥰

thank you for this great Epic premiere

The soloist is amazing Strings behind her are flawless too

She is supreme, doesn't even look at the strings.

incredible skills with a violin Marie I can't stop listening to this such a beautiful piece of music 🕊🎻😍🌹❤️

only a musician understand how many years upon years of studying and practicing it takes to be able to play like that. its a lifes work

When you're 30, never played the violin and start quarantine hoping to play this in 2 months

don't know why I'm crying😭 feel so blessed and honoured to be here with this music🥲

Vivaldi wrote this song cause he had a vision that people may miss summer during 2020.

The violist behind her I'm deaddd

I love the kid at 6:28 near presto, and how the violinist behind Mari laughs surprised but kindly despite the tension on the execution of the climax of summer

This is absolutely amazing

This performance of the piece is not just magnificent, it is divine!!!

The head banging from all the members of the orchestra at 8:41 is proof that Vivaldi was a rockstar. Amazing!

What a marvelous piece paired with such beautiful performance 🎉 love it ❤❤❤

I cry, every time. The song is a rollercoaster of emotions. Approximately 300 years after his death, he is still able to destroy us like this. (Incredible performance from everyone involved 14 years ago, it's a masterpiece!!!) Mari: It's truly incredible how beautifully you play every note of the piece. Thank you!

I’m here watching this masterpiece and suddenly I get a freaking chicken wing commercial are you kidding me KZfaq

Modern music cant make us feel such a powerfull feeling

the soul's need for music.

Not only is she talented, she is a dream woman, ten out of ten!

Incredible music, incredible performance, people around the world gathering to listen a beautiful piece from 300 years ago to feel summer. This makes me happy on these difficult days...

Heloise hasn’t stopped crying ever since

POV: you’re a British special operator driving to a complex terrorist attack in Nairobi and this comes on full volume

Energia pura e potente, da brividi! La vera e grande musica , la bellezza della vera arte ci avvicinano al divino e non tramonteranno mai!

Wow! She has such emotion in her face when she got to her solo!

I really can feel the summer sun and wind while listening this piece of art.

The third movement is one of, if not thee single most powerful, hardest-hitting musical compositions ever composed. What a monster Vivaldi was…

I am Mezmorised and Viscerally uplifted in Spirit through Her Elegant rendering and absolute melodic surrender overwhelms my senses ...🎉 Extraordinary dedication and angelic support and cooperation with her fellow musicians 😊 This what I also consider as being " Soul Music 🎶🎉
