Totally amazing!!!! I am 86 and have sung Vivaldi all my life. I love his music. You have shown the real Vivaldi that I would have loved to know. His writing one piece 500 times is absolute BS. Your context for his life and music show how magnificent he was. Gracias!!!

For women at this time in history a gracious thank you and blessings everlasting to Vivaldi.

When listening to Vivaldi I think at some point everyone wonders what was it like seeing Vivaldi in his element with an incredible and unique women's orchestra and choir. You have brought that to life - great to see !

one of the most glorious and beautiful films about music I have ever seen/astounding

Great! Great! Great! Gloria!!! No words to describe my happiness and gratitude for you share this video.

Thank you so much for this beautiful documentary! My partner Marie and I, we are both music teachers, are going to Venice i june 2024 to visit Micky White and experience the legacy of Vivaldi.

His music is like no other in history the music is beautiful. 08:24am 01/03/‘23, Seamus from Ireland,

Everybody involved here knows this, but it is only hinted at perhaps too modestly at several points in the commentary: these were THE BEST ensemble and solo singers and players in the western world at the time. They attracted music lovers from all over Europe, and many of Vivaldi's compositions were first performed entirely by women, I think the haunting concerto for two mandolins is one of these.

I am speechless. This documentary is brilliant and sublime. Huge praise for the performers and producers.

Glad to see this new BBC production, their second depiction/exploration of this orchestra. Inscribed into so many of the concertos that use pairs of featured instruments you can see the pedagogical approach to teaching music at the Pietà; a veteran maestra playing a passage that is then echoed by a second player who was certainly the maestra's pupil. The practice of women teaching women is expressed in these compositions. There is much more in the music itself to be considered based on the new information presented here.

Brilliant video and effort by all. Many thanks! Can’t seem to get a copy of Micky White’s book which looks extraordinarily interesting. Is it out of print? Many thanks again to everyone. 💖

Superb production full of fresh ideas, sumptuous photography, brilliant people, copy… editing… Thank you❤

Unfortunately, at least this part, doesn’t mention that several of those women became composers themselves in their own right.

A cada documentário mais admiração por Vivaldi. O músico, seu tempo. Quanto desprezo imposto pelos modismos e corporativismos das cortes e seus críticos..., nada disso muda a escuta daqueles que sempre estimam o mestre veneziano.

15th hrs p.m. Marvellous. Thank u girls

Très intéressant document sur les jeunes filles de la pietà et Vivaldi

Thank you for sharing ! very interesting report !

Hermoso documental 👍 vivaldi fue un gran compositor y estas mujeres fueron la prueba de que se puede ser exitoso aun con todos los obstáculos que la vida les puso. La verdad mis respetos 👏

Is that a longer version? And is there the second part somewhere, I can't find it.
