The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Soovin Kim & Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia & Ignat Solzhenitsyn

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of the collection Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'inventione. The concertos exemplify Baroque concerto practice, using vivid solo violin writing and orchestral effects to depict seasonal scenes through programme-like motifs and contrasts between soloist and ensemble, and they occupy a significant place in Vivaldi's output and the development of the violin repertoire.
