Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) - Concerto for Violin, Strings and Basso continuo in E-flat Major, RV 251, III. Allegro. Performed by Giuliano Carmignola, violin, and Andrea Marcon/Venice Baroque Orchestra on period instruments.
- the first movement orchestral tutti is SO BEAUTIFUL every time I listen to it I cannot help but smile. it waters my crops and cleans my pores. I don't know how one moment in a piece is able to hold such emotional power over a person but that's Tchaikovsky for you ig. - also the trill where it resolves at the end of the cadenza. and then the flute comes in with the main melody. it's so comforting - almost hopeful?? - the melodic lines and countermelodies are so nice there's really nice bassoon and cello lines in the first movement I'm thinking of and there's also a moment in the third movement where the melody gets passed between the clarinet and oboe - the entire concerto is like a warm hug :)
I've left the submission form tab open for three days and I still can't find words to describe how beautiful Tchaik VC is. THE TUTTI IN MVT 1 MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME
Shostakovich 1:
The third movement is the most awe inspiring horrifyingly gorgeous masterpiece of music that exists in the violin repertoire. Followed by a slow build cadenza where the rage creeps up on you until the violin is screaming. And then a brutally fun final movement. First and second mvts are sickeningly spectacular too, but the 3-cadenza-4 is just simply the crown jewel of violin rep. It doesn’t get better than this.
It’s got a passacaglia AND a burlesque what more could you want
Today I remember the Hungarian violonist Joseph Szigeti (1892-1973). He died 50 years ago. On this old photo, we see the artist 1914. Take a look on this interesting biography. It exist a lot of recordings.
thinking about the time I was wondering how to best understand the Russian word тоска as a non-native speaker and then I remembered that part in the Passacaglia of Shostakovich Violin Concerto no. 1 with the ascending triplets and was like. “OH”
New addition to my classical music collection 🎶🎻 It's so beautiful and sweet even though it was created in such dark times like World War II. Gives me some vibes of old Disney movies ✨💙

I highly encourage yall to listen to Igor Stravinsky's Violin Concerto in D, it is like one of the most joyous and happy things ever and the ending of the 4th movement SLAPS
