ANTONIO VIVALDI THE FOUR
SEASONS Le
Quattro Stagioni
Antonio
Vivaldi (1678-1741), an unquestioned baroque music celebrity in
our times, in the thirties of the 20th century was
considered an excentric ecclesiastic nicknamed the red-haired
priest, good violinist and author of the Four Seasons.
[...]A real Vivaldi revival started in the seventies and in the
past decade or so almost each year brings new discoveries,
especially in the realm of his rich if little-known sacred music.
At present, in Italy and not only Italy the composer is subject of
a virtual cult. A special periodical examines all newly discovered
pieces while numerous old music ensembles vie in stylish
performances.
[...] In our time the Four Seasons is an
unquestionable musical hit with sophisticated and lay audiences
alike. Numerous new performances range from stylistically
faithful, to more or less free interpretations - all equally
successful on the recording market which sells them in staggering
quantities.[...] Incessant popularity of that Venetian baroque
music by il preto rosso is quite a phenomenon, proven, inter
alia by the present recording which brings fresh approach
by the young virtuoso, Kuba Jakowicz and the chamber group of the
renowned Sinfonia Varsovia ensemble.
