Italian traditions that delicately express the colors of the four seasons
A historic and masterful performance of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" by the I Musici ensemble and the virtuoso Félix Ayo.
The flawless ensemble and the beauty of the flowing melodies perfectly embody the joy of Baroque music. In particular, the freshness of "Spring" and the austere sound of "Winter" eloquently explain why this piece has been loved as a standard for so many years.
