Opus 8 Vol. 1: The Four Seasons & other concertos

Album by Antonio Vivaldi & La Serenissima & Adrian Chandler

Opus 8 is a set of violin concertos by the Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi, published in 1725. The collection exemplifies Baroque concerto style, featuring virtuosic solo violin writing, clear ritornello structures and vivid programme-like gestures that evoke extra-musical scenes, and it occupies a central place in Vivaldi's output and in the development of the solo concerto in the early 18th century.
