~ 4. Vivaldi: Concerto "L'inverno" (RV 297)
Views: 29588 |  |  |  |  | Stereo: http://br.youtube.com/watch?v=yIr2ZTVWIlQ&fmt=18
Concerto No. 4 in F minor, Op. 8, RV 297, "L'inverno" (Winter):
1st mov: Allegro non molto.
2nd mov: Largo.
3rd mov: Allegro.
Europa Galante.
Dir. Fabio Biondi.
The Four Seasons (Le ...More quattro stagioni in original Italian) is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi. Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is Vivaldi's best-known work, and is among the most popular pieces of Baroque music.
The premiere recording was I Musici's 1955 recording (it was that ensemble's first recording of any music). It created such interest in the work that there are now more than 120 recordings of it.
The concertos were first published in 1725 as part of a set of twelve, Vivaldi's Op. 8, entitled Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (The Contest between Harmony and Invention). The first four concertos were designated Le quattro stagioni, each being named after a season. Each one is in three movements, with a slow movement between two faster ones. At the time of writing the Four Seasons, the modern solo form of the concerto had not yet been defined (typically a solo instrument and accompanying orchestra). Vivaldi's original arrangement for solo violin with string quartet and basso continuo helped to define the form. In modern times, others have made transcriptions and arrangements to be performed on different instrumentation. |

Le quattro stagioni
L'Inverno
1) Allegro non molto
2) Largo
3) Allegro
Agghiacciato tremar tra nevi algenti'
Al severo spirar d'orrido vento,
Correr battendo i piedi ogni momento;
E per soverchio gel batter i denti ...More ,
Passar al foco i di quieti e contenti
Mentre la poggia fuor bagna ben cento
' Caminar sopra ´l ghiaccio, e passo lento
Per timor di cader persene intenti
Gir forte sdruzziolar, cader a terra
Di nuovo gir sopra `l ghiaccio correr forte
Sin ch' il ghiaccio si rompe e si dissera;
Sentir uscir dalle serrate porte
Sirocco Borea, e tutti i Venti in guerra
Quest' è 'l verno, mà tal, che gioja apporte. |

Giunt' è la Primavera e festosetti
La salutan gl' Augei con lieto canto,
E i fonti spirar de' Zeffiretti
Con dolce mormorio scorrono intanto:
Vengon' ...More coprendo l'aer di nero amanto
E Lampi, e tuoni ad annuntiarla eletti.
Indi, tacendo questi, gl' Augeletti;
Tornan' di nuovo al lor canoro incanto
E quindi sul fiorito ameno prato
Al caro mormorio di fronde e piante
Dorme 'l Caprar col fido can' à lato
Di pastoral Zampogna al suon festante
Danzan Ninfe e Pastor nel tetto amato
Di primavera all' apparir brillante. |

Europa Galante.
Dir: Fabio Biondi.
L'estro Armonico op. 3 ("Harmonic Inspiration" in Italian) is a collection of twelve concertos for 1, 2 and 4 violins written by Antonio Vivaldi in 1711. It largely augmented the reputation of Vivaldi as Il Prete Rosso; (The Red Priest). The collections were mostly put together in a chronological order. These concerti are often called concerti grossi due to their use of a concertino-style ensemble (solo cello is often used). J.S. Bach later transcribed concertos from this work for harpsichord solo (no.9, no.12), for organ solo (no.8, no.11) and for four harpsichords and strings (no.10). |
