The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos, op. 3 no. 6 & op. 6 no. 1

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Virtuosi di Praga & Ivan Ženatý

The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos, Op. 3 No. 6 & Op. 6 No. 1 is a collection of violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, composed in the early 18th century. These Baroque concertos feature virtuosic solo violin writing contrasted with a string ensemble, employing clear ritornello structures and vivid programme-like gestures that evoke natural and seasonal scenes, and they occupy a pivotal place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of the solo concerto form.

First released: 1995
