The most celebrated work of
the baroque springs to life on period instruments.
Vivaldi's set of violin
concertos The Four Seasons has been recorded
more often than any other work, but to hear them
played on period instruments is to fully experience
their extraordinarily rich descriptive and emotional
power - the barking of a dog; the scorching summer
sun; slipping and sliding on the winter ice.
Lucinda Moon's unquestioned
virtuosity and great depth of feeling makes her
interpretation of this dazzling and poignant work a
much-anticipated event.
Vivaldi's Concerto for cello
in G major was written for the outstanding
all-female orchestra of the Ospedale della Pieta in
Venice - a must-see tourist attraction of the day.
Although a leading composer of
his time, Dall'Abaco is only now returning to the
modern concert stage. His divine Concerto No 5 for
oboe combines the brilliance of the Italian Vivaldi
style with the grandeur and elegance of French court
music.
