The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Joshua Bell & Academy of St Martin in the Fields

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by the Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (Op. 8). Written in the Baroque idiom, the concertos employ virtuosic solo violin writing, ritornello structures and vivid programme elements to evoke seasonal scenes, and they represent an important example in the development of programme music and the violin repertoire.
