A. Vivaldi: The Four Seasons So here is the complete four seasons, probably the seven thousandth posting of the most recorded piece of classical music of all time. Here it is performed by the vivacious Concerto Italiano directed by Rinaldo Alessandrini in a recording Grammaphone magazine claimed to be the best one ever. Enjoy!      Play all 8 videos Play all(8)
For the Violin Student Thier are many, many videos of violin students playing pieces like Corelli's "La Folia" and Vivaldi's violin concerto in A minor, and unfortunately, most of them show a lack of understanding of the music, even despite some technically good performances. I've also noticed that there is an over-abundance of Suzuki method edited versions, making it surprisingly difficult to find performances of the original versions. This playlist features music from the violin student repertoire being played on period instruments with period style, and by professional orchestras. Even if you are not a baroque violinist, the pieces on this playlist are mean't to be a guide to your own performance and should hopefully give you the right idea of how these peices should be really played.      Play all 14 videos Play all(14)
"Dixit Dominus" The Lord says to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool. The Lord sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies! Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours. The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath. He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth. He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head. Psalm 110 was one of the most popular psalms put to music in the 18th century. This playlist features the three settings by Vivaldi (including the one discovered in 2005) as well as Handel's famous setting and one large-scale setting by Alessandro Scarlatti More will likely come in the future.

Buxtehude: 'Membra Jesu Nostri' Membra Jesu Nostri (English: The Limbs of our Lord Jesus), BuxWV 75, is a cycle of seven cantatas composed by Dieterich Buxtehude in 1680, and dedicated to Gustaf Düben. This work is known as the first Lutheran oratorio. The text, Salve mundi salutare also known as the Rhythmica oratio is a poem written by Medieval poet Arnulf of Louvain (died 1250). It is divided into seven parts, each addressed to a different part of Christ's crucified body: feet, knees, hands, side, chest, heart, and head. Each cantata in Membra Jesu Nostri is divided into six sections; an instrumental introduction; a concerto for instruments and five voices (SSATB), with the exception of the fifth and sixth cantatas where only three voices are used; three arias for one or three voices, each followed by an instrumental ritornello; and an exact reprise of the concerto. The last cantata of the cycle, Ad faciem, is the only one that deviates from this pattern, with a final Amen chorus substituting for the reprise. This is one of my favorite sacred works of the Baroque, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful of Buxtehude's works. An absolutely seminal work. Please listen.
