The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Pinchas Zukerman & Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, composed around 1723 and first published in 1725. The music exemplifies Baroque concerto form, using virtuosic solo violin lines, vivid string textures and ritornello structures to evoke seasonal scenes, and it stands as a key example of Vivaldi's mature concerto writing and an early instance of programme music.
