Operatic Music / The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Fiori Musicali & Kate Eckersley & Elizabeth Wallfisch & Penelope Rapson

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, composed in the early 1720s and published as part of Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione in 1725. The works use programme elements to depict seasonal scenes through virtuosic solo writing, vivid orchestral textures and dramatic contrasts, exemplifying the Baroque concerto form and Vivaldi's role in advancing programme-based instrumental music.
