Au début de ton texte tu parle de ton amour pour la musique classique. Le premier extrait que tu as insérer dans ton texte, respire l’Italie. Cette musique pourrait faire partie de l’hymne national de ton pays d’origine…. Pas surpris que tu aimes ça.

J’ai bien aimé la partie du texte ou tu explique comment le festival a vue le jour.

Félicitations!

I finally read your text on your love for Barroque music. You had shared this with me a few years back when you first introduce me to Susan and the music. Loved it then and still enjoy it today. Until your next publication wish you a good stay with us in Montreal.

Che bella storia, sembra proprio che anime affini finiscono sempre per trovarsi.

Se la musica è un fluido, per osmosi tutto trova il suo equilibrio. Ovviamente la volontà, la passione fanno sì che i desideri possono diventare esperienze reali. Ottimo messaggio positivo 👍🏽

What an amazing start to an incredible journey. I’m the classical lover in this family, and thank you for sharing the music today. Smiling during the first video I was thinking, these two guys remind me of “Duelling Banjos”, absolutely beautiful violin work.

Hi Tino, thank you for the memory. I remember visiting you in my Fiat. I think I still have the cassette somewhere. I may have caused the spark but you fanned the flames of your passion for Vivaldi and music. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about how the festival came about. Have you listened to Recomposed by Max Richter: Vivaldi- The Four Seasons. I love it.

Hey Mike, nice to read you, yes good memories indeed. Remember that moment very well. I did not know Max Richter had a Vivaldi version. I have it on my system as we speak. I like it, he brings it to a different level, he stretches the notes to give it a more passionate feel. Will enjoy it wile I make pasta e fagioli. Take care. Thanks again.

Also more powerful and vigorous giving it a more dramatic effect in certain passages. Very nice.

Nicely done, Tino. A melodious story about the genesis of an enduring friendship and the determination to turn a whim into reality.

Je savais que tu aimais la musique baroque et que tu faisais partie de l’organisation du festival. Mais je ne savais pas que tu étais un des deux membres fondateurs! Wow! J’aime bien l’histoire des bottes et les Quatre saisons de Vivaldi est une de mes musiques préférées.
