The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Julia Fischer & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Kenneth Sillito

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The work is a Baroque, programme-driven cycle that showcases virtuosic solo violin writing, vivid orchestral colour and ritornello form to depict seasonal atmospheres, and it represents a key example in Vivaldi's output and in the development of programme instrumental music.
