the audio quality of this channel is just phenomenal, far exceeds most of studio albums

[beyblade]

The main violinist is playing with no notes in front of her. That's the level of confidence one should strive to achieve. Pure Brilliance.

[jesussanz]

It is said, that Vivaldi composed more than 400 concerts and 40 operas and that finally, he died poor and his music was nearly forgotten. A lot of years later, millions of people all over the world can enjoy his beautiful music thanks in part to videos like this.
Thanks to contritibute to keep his music alive.

Lady Cynthia Freivogel's skill is beyond comprehension. An entirely different galaxy

[jsbach]

the commitment to baroque is incredible

[grimjim]

Wonderfull performance. No ego, no adding showoff gimmicks, just exactly what Vivaldi wrote! Thank you.

[juanlillosilva]

Cynthia Freivogel is an extraordinary concert performer, the best Antonio Vivaldi interpreter I have ever heard, they all have their style, but Cynthia is from another world. A thousand congratulations to her and also to Voices the Music, without them there is very little that can be done when playing Vivaldi.

[axelwalter]

I thought I couldn't listen to the Four Seasons anymore, as I heard it too often already, but this ensemble gave me the feeling I sort of heard it for the first time. So pure and such amazing sound quality.

[franciscoj]

This piece is spectacular, I never get tired of listening to it.

Vivaldi was a genius

[kirillzapple]

This woman plays so well - I could actually feel Vivaldi's music.... and her soul in it.

[leonmakedon]

It’s one of the most beautiful music that I’ve ever heard.

[hectordelgado]

I don’t know why this performance make me cry. The sound touch my heart, beautiful !

[stevewisniewski]

Absolutely beautiful and incredible. No conductor, first violinist who is the lead. Everybody is on the same page it seems rhythm, tempo, Feeling. Beautiful. Thank you.

[Natalie-dwjy]

By far and away the best performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Incredible playing by Cynthia!!!

[neunwest]

I feel that my life at the moment becomes richer whenever I listen to this.

[Mahita]

I bet this is how this beauty originally sounded when Vivaldi was alive!!! It's perfectly interpreted, it's like being in heaven!!! Bravissimo!!
