The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Itzhak Perlman & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Rodney Friend

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. It exemplifies Baroque concerto form and early programme music, employing virtuosic solo violin writing, rhythmic vitality and contrasts between soloist and ensemble to evoke seasonal change, and it occupies a central place in Vivaldi's output and the development of Baroque instrumental repertoire.
