The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Janine Jansen

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, composed in 1723 and published in 1725. Written in the Baroque style, the works use vivid programme-like writing, virtuosic solo violin passages, ritornello form and sharp contrasts between soloist and ensemble to evoke seasonal scenes, and they represent a key example of Vivaldi's contribution to the concerto genre and Baroque instrumental music.
