The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Salvatore Accardo & Orchestra da Camera Italiana

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725 as part of his Op. 8 collection. The concertos exemplify Baroque programme writing through vivid instrumental depiction of seasonal scenes, featuring virtuosic solo violin passages, contrasting ritornello structures between soloist and ensemble, and they helped shape the development of the solo concerto in the 18th century.
