Four Seasons, The - Antonio Vivaldi

Telling the story within the music, Vivaldi's poetry, seasonal elements, and characters are presented in this Educational Edition double disc set with descriptive narration and musical examples as depicted in the score of this very first piece of programatic music ever written (circa 1720). "For children and adults alike, this recording is a wonderful exploration into Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The performance is first class from young violinist, Amelia Piscitelli and Camerata Chicago, led by Drostan Hall, while the narrative from Steve Robinson is highly informative and expertly delivered. I give this recording my highest recommendation." - Lady Valerie Solti
