Les Quatre Saisons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & I Virtuosi di Roma (Collegium musicum italicum) & Renato Fasano

Les Quatre Saisons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8 collection. Written in the Baroque idiom, the concertos pair a virtuosic solo violin with string orchestra and continuo, using ritornello structures and vivid programme-driven gestures to evoke seasonal contrasts, and they exemplify Vivaldi's development of the solo concerto and his influence on early 18th-century instrumental music.
