Four Seasons
Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Chicago Chamber Orchestra & Henry Seville
The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8. The concertos employ programme-music techniques—featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, contrasting orchestral textures and descriptive gestures—to depict seasonal scenes, and they represent an early example of programme music in the Baroque era within Vivaldi's instrumental output.
