The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & John Holloway & Piero Toso

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published as part of Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8, in 1725. The works exemplify Baroque concerto style, featuring virtuosic solo violin passages and vivid programme-driven orchestral writing that depicts seasonal scenes, and they occupy a central place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of the solo concerto genre.
