The Four Seasons / Four Concerti

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Isaac Stern & Jerusalem Music Center Chamber Orchestra & David Fiodorovich Oistrakh & Eugene Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orchestra

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, first published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8 collection. Musically they exemplify Baroque concerto writing through vivid programme-like gestures that evoke seasonal scenes, a recurring ritornello structure and virtuosic solo violin writing, and they illustrate Vivaldi's impact on the development of the solo concerto and early programme music.
