This is a rare chance to experience the most beloved classical music work with a totally new ambience. In this unique performance, Pro Musica Trio is presenting the fusion arrangement of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for Violin, Accordion and Violoncello. This kind of extra-musical reference was avant-garde at the time, and the reception to the work varied widely, from adulation to mockery. He also added dramatic cues on individual parts, such as “Dog barking” in the slow movement of “Spring” concerto. The composer may have written the sonnets himself, although that is still under debate. With that level of saturation, it’s not surprising that a number of recent attempts have focused on rethinking this timeless work.Īntonio Vivaldi’s most famous composition, first published in 1725, is a set of four violin concertos, considered “programmatic” music in that each is paired with a sonnet about one of the four seasons of the year. A quick search of Spotify yielded over 500 versions, and the results hadn’t even finished loading.
The Four Seasons is one of the most-recorded works in all of classical music.
