Le Quattro Stagioni

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Isaac Stern & Pinchas Zukerman & Shlomo Mintz & Itzhak Perlman & התזמורת הפילהרמונית הישראלית & Zubin Mehta

Le quattro stagioni is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione (Op. 8). The works are representative of the Baroque concerto, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, vivid programme-style instrumental gestures that evoke seasonal scenes and clear ritornello structures, and constitute a key example of Vivaldi's contribution to the solo concerto and the development of programme music in the early 18th century.
