That’s my old buddy Scott Yoo. He’s a regular performer at Seattle Chamber Music Society events. I love talking shop with him.

:^) Glad this PBS show made it out onto YouTube. I'd never heard of him before this past week, when his episode about JS Bach popped up in related vids. Glad that happened!

Rediscovered? When I was in college, Vivaldi's
Le Quattro Stagioni CD was the go-to standard anytime a young buck needed to impress a date with his appreciation for classical music.
More reliable than even Barry White.

Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is awesome!

It would have been nice if he'd written a follow-up, "Seasons 5-8", y'know, for binge listening. ;^)

A quip by Peter Shickele (of P.D.Q. Bach fame) was (not exact quote) “Vivaldi wrote 500 concertos or the same concerto 500 times.”
The cartoonist Rodriques did a cartoon every month in the Stereo Review lampooning stereophiles (truly worth being lampooned). One of his cartoons showed a sign in a stereo shop that read “Vivaldi Tapes Erased for Free.”
I’m obviously not a Vivaldi fan to put it mildly and it seems I have company.
To: SunkenCiv
Thanks, I sent that to a violinist, not sure if she’s seen it or not.

Vivaldi’s music was lost for nearly 200 years, and only discovered in the 20th century. Beethoven and Brahms had no idea who Vivaldi was, since they lived during a time when his music was lost. There were no “Vivaldi Concerts” in the 19th century.

My dad’s friend had a parrot named Vivaldi. When his friend would go to work just after getting the parrot he’d turn on a stack of CD’s with Vivaldi - a couple of months later the parrot was singing that stuff; totally freaked him out, hence the name.
