The 4 Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Dan Laurin & Arte dei Suonatori

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of the collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione, Op. 8. These Baroque concertos are early examples of programme music, employing vivid violin writing, ritornello structures and instrumental effects to evoke seasonal scenes, and they occupy a central place in Vivaldi's output and in the violin repertoire.
First released: August 2006
