The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8 collection. The concertos are characteristic Baroque works combining virtuosic solo violin writing with string ensemble and basso continuo, using programme-music techniques to evoke seasonal scenes through rhythmic motifs, harmonic colour and contrasts between solo and tutti textures, and they represent Vivaldi's contribution to the development of the solo concerto in the early 18th century.
