About

In this dazzling performance the violinist Cho-Liang Lin performs the breath-taking musical acrobatics that have helped to make The Four Seasons the universally popular work it is today.  Cho-Liang Lin’s recordings have been critically acclaimed, winning several Grammy nominations and The Gramophone’s Record of the Year award. He is here joined by Anthony Newman – America’s leading harpsichordist – and Sejong, a group of virtuoso string players including many well-known young soloists. 
 
The four concertos of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, with their virtuoso part for solo violinist, depict the changing seasons in a pastoral landscape with astounding variety. Vivaldi evokes not only the changing atmospheric conditions (for example, the dripping rain represented by the pizzicato violins in the second movement of ‘Winter’), but also bird calls and animal cries, swaying grass, bubbling brooks, and human events such as drunkards slipping and sliding, and a man walking on ice.
