The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos in G major and A major

Album by Antonio Vivaldi

The Four Seasons / Violin Concertos in G major and A major is a set of violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione. The works exemplify Baroque concerto style, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, ritornello structures, clear tonal contrasts and programme-like musical gestures that evoke seasonal scenes, and they played a significant role in the development of the solo concerto and programme music.
