Les 4 Saisons

Description

With Fabio Biondi, we discover a Vivaldi different from anything that existed before. A surprising, almost unsettling music. These pages that we thought we knew by heart find, with him, a second youth: everything seems improvised as if for a new creation. With a more reduced "old-fashioned" orchestra than that of the Musici, Biondi achieves striking contrasts, dazzling phrases, a new yet very natural expression. Upon listening, one might wonder why Vivaldi was not played like this before?... Each concerto is perfectly characterized, and the whole sounds more alive than ever. A joyful record, in every sense of the word! Lovers of Biondi, both violinist and conductor, should rush to get the two other concerto discs released by the same label, Opus 111.
