Vivaldi's brilliant concerto is here presented complete in 4K, ultra high definition video, performed on original instruments. Early Music performance uses many different pitches, and these pitches create different tone colors on the instruments. Modern instruments are of course perfectly suited to more modern music.Ī. Historical instruments, built individually by hand and with overall lighter construction, have extremely complex overtones-which we find delightful. Modern steel strings replaced the older materials, and instruments were often machine made. As instruments became modernized in the 19th century, builders and players tended to focus on the volume of sound and the stability of tuning. What are period instruments or original instruments how are they different from modern instruments?Ī. Conductors weren’t invented until the 19th century since we seek to recreate a historical performance, the music is led from the keyboard or violin, or the music is played as chamber music~or both :) We play on instruments from the time of the composers, and we use the original music and playing techniques: it’s a special sound.Ī.
