Belleza absoluta saludos desde Argentina algún día conoceré esta hermosa tierra Italiana, salute!

[sandrahatherley]

Geminiani and Corelli...both put me in heaven...such joy and beauty.

[reybarreto]

Stately, elegant, and timeless, Geminiani's masterful variations on "La Folia" played to perfection by this remarkable ensemble. The poignant, slow passages make me cry, the changes in tempo stir my soul, and the exuberant fast passages make my heart dance like a happy-go-lucky child.

[SandTrivi]

Excelente obra, magistralmente interpretada.

[annatirindelli]

Interpretazione Magistrale!!!! Complimenti vivissimi a tutti Cordiali saluti. Anna e Luigi.

[timothyabraham]

How come this has so little views, a true masterpiece! One of the best on Youtube. 1:43 gave me chills.

I could not get my eyes off the conductor. I was mesmerized by his movement, especially around from 8:30 for next 3 mins.

[shin-i-chikozima]

This wonderful and comfortable performance is universe, and outclassing

HERMOSA VERSION. PROFUNDIDAD Y NOSTALGIA.

FRANCESCO GEMINIANI {LUCQUES 1687-1762 DUBLIN} CONCERTO GROSSO "LA FOLLIA" - ONE & GIOVANNI ANTONINI. Magnifique, orchestre grandiose bravo. LA FOLIA, également appelée FOLLIA en italien ou FOLIES D' ESPAGNE, est une danse apparue au XVe siècle probablement au Portugal dont le thème a servi pour des variations a plus de 150 compositeurs de LULLY à SERGUEI RACHMANINOV en passant par VANGELIS PAPATHANASSIOU. Merci pour ce chef-d'oeuvre de GEMINIANI sublime.

Heart-stopingly beautiful! Love the absence of chairs! It’s too charged w passion to sit!

[schubertieda]

No sabía que esto se subió en YouTube....!!! Qué casualidad, en ese día yo vi y escuché esta bella música en vivo. Si no fui a este concierto, no iba a conocer a este gran compositor Geminiani. Actualmente toco sus obras de cámara, por ejemplo sonatas de violín, y de violonchelo también. Les agradezco mucho de que compartieran esta música BELLÍSIMA!! Muchas gracias. Saludos, desde Japón.

[earflapping]

Wonderful version. I keep coming back to this.

[AngryMooseandFamily]

Absolutely amazing! Thanks for posting this.

[cesaraguel]

Geminiani at his best!!! There is no question in my mind that out of all the music written around the beautiful “Folias” theme, these are the most spectacular "Diferencias".
And this interpretation by members of the Orquesta Nacional de España definitely has superb Spanish GUSTO, on this most Spanish theme.

Wow! What a wonderful experience!All through the music I was looking mesmerized at the dancing steps of the conductor and first violinist. Even if another conductor opts another modern version of dance it will always be a success because of the popularity of the La Folia. What an enchanting music, leaving sweet memories in our minds for a long time! While my eyes were concentrated exclusively on the dancing duo my both the ears were attuned to the heavenly music. The performance of the dancer - conductor was mute reply to some of the viewers who commented elsewhere comparing conductors as necessary evils! Hope, if they watch this video, they will change their minds!
