Le Quattro Stagioni

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Taverner Players & Andrew Parrott

Le quattro stagioni is a set of four violin concertos by Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. Composed in the Baroque concerto form, the pieces feature virtuosic solo violin writing and vivid programme-driven gestures that evoke seasonal atmospheres through rhythmic energy, harmonic colour and textural contrast, and they occupy an important place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of early 18th-century programme music.
