Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Reviews
| 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful By A Minstrel in the Gallery "Chris" (Portsmouth, New Hampshire USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Audio CD) As a New Englander, I have always reveled in the passing of the seasons, and this music provides a perfect soundtrack to the wonders of nature. My mother has another version of this Vivaldi masterpiece by Itzhak Pearlman, but honestly I think this recording is better and more enjoyable. The three extra concertos for violin included on this disc are real treats, especially the Concerto for 2 violins in A minor. The liner notes also include the sonnets Vivaldi wrote to accompany his music, which I think are really fascinating. This may be a cheap cd, but it has the sound quality of a world class recording! 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Audio CD) This is a great version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Each movement is played with great passion and expression. Whenever I hear this beautiful piece (or four pieces, rather!), I can see the seasons change in my imagination, as each song unfolds in its glory. Right now, as we are working through the tail end of our winter season, in Seattle, listening to Spring and Summer, especially, remind me that the sun will return (hopefully) in just a few short months. The Four Seasons is, at once, jubilant, and full of haunting reflection. This particular version melds great, heightened notes, accented by smoothly interwoven melody. Lovely. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Vivaldi: The Four Seasons (Audio CD) Excellent clarity! Not only the beauty of the music but the mastering has is supreme. I not only can hear the birds in "Spring"I can feel them! |
