The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra & Nicholas McGegan & Elizabeth Blumenstock

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The works exemplify Baroque concerto form through virtuosic solo violin writing, vivid orchestral colouring and programme-driven musical depiction, and they illustrate key developments in the solo violin concerto that influenced early 18th-century musical practice.
