The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Kyung‐Wha Chung & St. Luke’s Chamber Ensemble

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, first published in 1725. The music exemplifies Baroque programme writing, with vivid instrumental depiction of seasonal scenes through virtuosic solo violin passages, clear ritornello structures and contrasts of texture and rhythm, and it represents a key example of Vivaldi's mature concerto style and of early 18th-century instrumental music.
