The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Alice Harnoncourt & Concentus Musicus Wien & Nikolaus Harnoncourt

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. Scored for solo violin and string orchestra with continuo, the concertos use programme writing and vivid seasonal imagery through rhythmic vitality, bright Baroque harmonies and virtuosic solo passages, and they appear as part of Vivaldi's Op. 8 collection, illustrating his contribution to the development of the solo concerto and programme music in the Baroque era.
