The Four Seasons / Concertos

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & London Chamber Orchestra & Christopher Warren‐Green

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as the first concertos of his Op. 8 collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione. The concertos exemplify Baroque concerto form with solo violin, string orchestra and basso continuo, employing vivid programme-style gestures to depict seasonal scenes and influencing the development of violin technique and programme music in the early 18th century.
