The Four Seasons & String Concerti

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Huw Daniel & Bojan Čičić & Johannes Pramsohler & Zefira Valova & European Union Baroque Orchestra & Lars Ulrik Mortensen

The Four Seasons and other string concerti are a set of violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as his Op. 8 collection. They exemplify Vivaldi's mature Baroque style, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, ritornello forms and vivid programme music that depicts seasonal scenes, and they occupy a central place in his output and in the development of the solo concerto genre.
First released: 15th October 2014
