The Four Seasons

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood

The Four Seasons is a set of four violin concertos by Antonio Vivaldi, published as part of his Op. 8 in 1725. The concertos exemplify Baroque programme music, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, vivid instrumental depiction of seasonal scenes and contrasts between soloist and string ensemble, and they occupy an important place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of early 18th-century programme instrumental composition.
