The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Joseph Silverstein & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Seiji Ozawa

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The music exemplifies Baroque concerto practice with vivid programme-style depictions of seasonal scenes through contrasting movements, virtuosic solo violin writing and clear basso continuo textures, and it occupies a central place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of the early 18th-century violin repertoire.
