Now Hear This: Vivaldi Something Completely Different

[Publius]

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

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!

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.

Thanks, I sent that to a violinist, not sure if she’s seen it or not.

Is it Baroque?

Why? Did you baraque it?.............

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.

Love me some Vivaldi! Here’s a different take on his Summer Presto:

Not to leave out the Ludwig fans, here’s a version of his Moonlight Sonata:

Vivaldi and Mozart are my favorites.
So much energy.
