"Lacking among the girls in the Ospedale were bassoonists. There is no mention of bassoon solos or instruments among the records, and it is unclear for whom Vivaldi composed his 38 bassoon concertos - more than for any other instrument except the violin. None of them was published during his lifetime, but the manuscripts were preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale in Turin. From their technical demands, it is clear that he composed them for a virtuoso. It should be noted that the Baroque bassoon was not the versatile instrument we know today; there were only a couple of keys, and makers were experimenting constantly to create more responsive and accurate double-reed instruments.
In the first movement of this concerto Vivaldi puts the bassoon through its paces; each episode features a different technique, with an emphasis is on rapid fingering. The second movement of a Baroque concerto, virtually always in a slow tempo, was designed to showcase the emotive side of the solo instrument. Long, legato lines that could be freely embellished - either by the composer or by improvisation on the part of the soloist - were standard. Although the bassoon is not usually cited as a romantic instrument, Vivaldi does his best to smooth over the characteristic double-reed vibrato of the instrument. The third movement returns to the faster tempo and ritornello form of the first and involves even more difficult virtuosic playing for the soloist." (Joseph & Elizabeth Kahn)

The most beautiful Bassoon concerto from baroque era.
I once saw a comment where the author said the following: the bassoon sounds are the dance of an old sailor who dances alone in the rain on the pier. I was fascinated by this definition :-)
Vivaldi never forgets to cook😎
When I hear RV 484, I can't help but think of the poor Vivaldi who spent his final years in Vienna for some reason. Sounds like poor Vivaldi
I can say that it is a very good work.
I will definitely play this piece some day.
3:32 - 3:46 is my favorite part of the piece
My favorite Vivaldi Bassoon Concerto by far. I really like some of the ornamentation going on here.
An extraordinary music work of Vivaldi and it is one of my favorite music in the classic field. Plus, it was a super, artistic performance of bassoon. Million bravo to the bassoonist. Thanks for uploading.
Qué hermosa música que hace que la vida tenga sentido, versus depresión.
Prima ! Großartig! ❤

Il genio italico deve risorgere
You want to know what a bassoon is? IT IS A CRY FOR HELP
What does that mean? lol 😆
Can you explain yourself?
@@lucpraslan lol but this piece isn’t the hardest so I don’t know either
I would have to agree with you there... in the same way humanity lifts their voices to the heavens- full of arrogance, yet not knowing who we are crying out to until a meeting is ordained.
