The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Bernardino Molinari

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8 collection. The work exemplifies Baroque concerto form and early programme music, contrasting virtuosic solo violin passages with string orchestra and continuo to evoke seasonal scenes through rhythmic motifs, textures and tonal contrasts, and it occupies an important place in Vivaldi's mature output and in the development of the solo concerto.

First released: 1953
