Here is the Classical-music.com
freebie just posted today.
It is
Amandine Beyer and Giuliano Carmignola play Vivaldi.
The download webpage at Classical-music.com gives this information about the
free piece:
This week's download is the Allegro from Vivaldi's Concerto for two violins in B flat major, performed by Amandine Beyer, Giuliano Carmignola and Gli Incogniti. The recording was Concerto Choice in our January issue.
'The musical chemistry between Carmignola and Beyer is intuitive and gratifying,' writes Nicholas Anderson. 'Soloists and ripieno alike respond to this wonderful music with passion, insight and feeling.'
The
freebie is an MP3. This rendition of the composition runs three minutes and 51 seconds long.
Here's the procedure for downloading the piece. Even if you are not currently a member/subscriber, I think that you will still be able to take advantage of the offer. Just sign up anywhere on
Classical-music.com's website that you can find to do it. If you've signed up and have signed in, navigate to
this webpage, if you're not there already. There should be a button, saying "Download Now," superimposed over the thumbnail image of the album from which this
free piece is taken. If so, click on it. That final step should cause the
free piece to start downloading to your computer or whatever device that you use to listen to MP3 music on.
I am still a classical music neophyte. But, I've known of Vivaldi, and appreciated his work, for many years. I think that it has to do with hearing
The Four Seasons many years ago. This piece is another pleasant one. It is all that more remarkable for me to say that because there is quite a bit of violin in it, and I generally do not like violin music. But the violin is very tastefully used in this piece, IMHO.
You've got just short of one week to download this piece for
free. At the end of the week's time, a new Classical-music.com freebie will be coming out!
