Free Music Notes for Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Free Music Review: Strange But Good
Hit: 4 Stars
The recording is filled with character, grunting, noises, and the audience applause, ect. I really truly feel that the Italians do Vivaldi the best, so far I found Four Seasons by Pietro Antonio to have that authentic Italian art, warmth, influence, passion, and vigor. This recording qualifies on my list because, even though it's not authentically Italian it still has warmth and passion.
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons Poster
While it may not be the most rewarding way to approach this music in the long run, having four star violinists dish up a season apiece is a lot of fun, especially if you're interested in comparing styles and sounds. Mintz is bright and wiry; Perlman rich, brilliant and intense; Zukerman dark and suave; and Stern has that marvelous, warm, "old-school" sound with an almost vocal vibrato. And the violins of the Israel Philharmonic? They play as though every one of them could step up and take a solo, no doubt because having four luminaries on the stage made them want to give of their best. While the interpretations, individually and collectively, don't offer much that is new or remarkable, the sense of occasion is palpable. DG's live recording, made at the Huberman Festival in Israel in 1982, is nicely balanced and quite atmospheric. --Ted LibbeyClassical Music CDs
