Vivaldi - Concerto for 2 Flutes in C Major RV533
ANTONIO VIVALDI (1678-1741)*Praambulum by Matthias MauteConcerto for two tranverse flutes, strings, and basso continuo in C major RV5331. Praambulum* - Allegro2. Largo3. AllegroPerformed by Ensemble CapriceDirected by Matthias Maute*This group's recording of this piece was inspired by a current theory that Vivaldi may have had come into contact with and was strongly inspired by Slavic and Gypsy folk music. The evidence to support this claim is very reasonable: for instance, the "ospedale della pieta" thsat Vivaldi taught at for years lay on the Riva degli Schiavi (the slavic canal). He also traveled extensively through slavic country. Perhaps though, the best evidence can be seen in various concertos. A book published during Vivaldi's lifetime known as the "Uhvroska" collection featuring folk and gypsy music contains music with many strikingly similar features to Vivaldi's music.With this concerto, the "umpa umpa" octaves of the bassline and the eighth note rythm followed by two sixteenths of the opening tutti, are identical to rythms used in the "Uhrovska". This has inspired the ensemble to create a Fantasia in the gypsy style to act as an introduction. [ More Detail ]

Vivaldi - Concerto for Mandolin in D ( RV 93 ) - Largo
*****A Painter's Series (pastel pencils)The painter has agreed upon this video presentation of his four paintings but has not approved of disclosure of his name i.e. identityAll I can say is that the painter has had exibitions in USA, several countries in Europe, and in Australia...These four paintings are among all those he painted after an interval of several years...*****with my utmost beloved composer*****born in Venice, 4 March 1678; died in Vienna, 28 July 1741Antonio Vivaldi was the son of a professional violinist who played at St. Mark's and may have been involved in operatic management. Vivaldi was trained for the priesthood and ordained in 1703 but soon after his ordination ceased to say Mass. he claimed this was because of his unsure health (he is known to have suffered from chest complaints, possibly asthma or angina). In 1703 he was appointed maestro di violino at the Ospedale della Pietà, one of the Venetian girls' orphanages; he remained there until 1709, and held the post again, 1711-16; he then became maestro de' concerti. Later, when he was away from Venice, he retained his connection with the Pietà (at one period he sent two concertos by post each month). He became maestro di cappella, 1735-8; even after then he supplied concertos and directed performances on special occasions.Vivaldi's reputation had begun to grow with his first publications: trio sonatas (probably 1703-5), violin sonatas (1709) and especially his 12 concertos L'estro armonico op.3 (1711). These, containing some of his finest concertos, were issued in Amsterdam and widely circulated in northern Europe; this prompted visiting musicians to seek him out in Venice and in some cases commission works from him (notably for the Dresden court). Bach transcribed five op.3 concertos for keyboard, and many German composers imitated his style. He published two further sets of sonatas and seven more of concertos, including La stravaganza op.4 (circa 1712), Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (circa 1725, including 'The Four Seasons') and La cetra (1727). It is in the concerto that Vivaldi's chief importance lies. He was the first composer to use ritornello form regularly in fast movements, and his use of it became a model; the same is true of his three-movement plan (fast-slow-fast). His methods of securing greater thematic unity were widely copied, especially the integration of solo and ritornello material; his vigorous rhythmic pattems, his violinistic figuration and his use of sequence were also much imitated. Of his circa 550 concertos, circa 350 are for solo instrument (more than 230 for violin); there are circa 40 double concertos, more than 30 for multiple soloists and nearly 60 for orchestra without solo, while more than 20 are chamber concertos for a small group of solo instruments without orchestra (the 'tutti' element is provided by the instmments all playing together). Vivaldi was an enterprising orchestrator, writing several concertos for unusual combinations like viola d'amore and lute, or for ensembles including chalumeaux, clarinets, horns and other rarities. There are also many solo concertos for bassoon, cello, oboe and flute. Some of his concertos are programmatic, for example 'La tempesta di mare' (the title of three concertos). Into this category also fall 'The Four Seasons', with their representation of seasonal activities and conditions accommodated within a standard ritornello form - these are described in the appended sonnets, which he may have written himself.Vivaldi was also much engaged in vocal music. He wrote a quantity of sacred works, chiefly for the Pietà girls, using a vigorous style in which the influence of the concerto is often marked. He was also involved in opera and spent much time travelling to promote his works. His earliest known opera was given in Vicenza in 1713; later he worked at theatres in Venice, Mantua (1718-20), Rome (probably 1723-5), possibly Vienna and Prague (around 1730), Ferrara (1737), Amsterdam (1738) and possibly Vienna during his last visit. He was by most accounts a difficult man; in 1738 he was forbidden entry to Ferrara ostensibly because of his refusal to say Mass and his relationship with the singer Anna Giraud, a pupil of his with whom he travelled. More than 20 of his operas survive; those that have been revived include music of vitality and imagination as well as more routine items. But Vivaldi's importance lies above all in his concertos, for their boldness and originality and for their central place in the history of concerto form. [ More Detail ]

Mvt 1: Alan Hovhaness - Concerto for Two Pianos
Alan Hovhaness composed the Concerto for Two Pianos in 1954 for a two-piano team who never performed, recorded, or published the work. The composer gave a copy of the manuscript to Belarusian-American pianist Martin Berkofsky, asking if Berkofsky could bring the concerto to life. In March 2004, it premiered in Moscow through the efforts of Berkofsky , who seeks to reveal the beauty of Hovhaness' work to the world. Berkofsky and the Armenian-American composer, Hovhaness developed a friendship over three decades until the death of the composer in 2000. Through his Cristofori Foundation, Berkofsky has initiated the creation of the Alan Hovhaness International Research Centre in Yerevan, Armenia, http://www.hovhaness.orgIn this concerto, Alan Hovhaness has recreated exotic sounds: In the first movement, the Indonesian Gamelan; in the second movement, the sound of the Kanun, a middle-eastern zither; in the third movement, the jhala teranga. Notable are Hovhaness' successful experiments with twelve-tone rows in both the second and third movements.This performance on November 24, 2006, in Khatchaturian Hall, Yerevan, was given by Martin Berkofsky, his master student Atakan Sari, and the Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Ruben Asatrian. The entire concert was a tribute to Alan Hovhaness and a celebration of the composer's 95th anniversary. Atakan Sari was the first Turkish soloist ever to perform with the Armenian Philharmonic. The heartfelt welcome he received was a tribute to the good will of all, and to the spirit which Hovhaness himself proclaimed in his Symphony No.11, "All Men are Brothers." [ More Detail ]

Tomaso Albinoni - Concerto for Oboe in D Minor
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671 - 1751)Biography:Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was a Venetian Baroque composer. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is mainly remembered today for his instrumental music, some of which is regularly recorded. The "Adagio in G minor" attributed to him (actually a later reconstruction) is one of the most frequently recorded pieces of Baroque music.Born to Antonio Albinoni (1634 - 1709), a wealthy paper merchant in Venice, he studied violin and singing. Relatively little is known about his life, especially considering his contemporary stature as a composer, and the comparatively well-documented period in which he lived. In 1694 he dedicated his Opus 1 to the fellow-Venetian Pietro, Cardinal Ottoboni (grand-nephew of Pope Alexander VIII); Ottoboni was an important patron in Rome of other composers, such as Arcangelo Corelli. Albinoni was possibly employed in 1700 as a violinist to Charles IV, Duke of Mantua, to whom he dedicated his Opus 2 collection of instrumental pieces. In 1701 he wrote his hugely popular suites Opus 3, and dedicated that collection to Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany.In 1705 he was married; Antonino Biffi, the maestro di cappella of San Marco was a witness, and evidently was a friend of Albinoni's. Albinoni seems to have no other connection with that primary musical establishment in Venice, however, and achieved his early fame as an opera composer at many cities in Italy, including Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Mantua, Udine, Piacenza, and Naples. During this time he was also composing instrumental music in abundance: prior to 1705, he mostly wrote trio sonatas and violin concertos, but between then and 1719 he wrote solo sonatas and concertos for oboe.Unlike most composers of his time, he appears never to have sought a post at either a church or court of nobility, but then he was a man of independent means and had the option to compose music independently. In 1722, Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, to whom Albinoni had dedicated a set of twelve concertos, invited him to direct two of his operas in Munich.Around 1740 a collection of Albinoni's violin sonatas was published in France as a posthumous work, and scholars long presumed that meant that Albinoni had died by that time. However it appears he lived on in Venice in obscurity; a record from the parish of San Barnaba indicates Tomaso Albinoni died in 1751, "age 84" (presumed to be a mistake), of diabetes.Concerto for Oboe in D Minor:1.
