4 Seåsøns, Vivaldi/Rasmussen

An imaginative and colourful retelling of Vivaldi's masterpiece

In 2025, we will be celebrating the 300th anniversary of the first printed edition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Published by Michel Le Cène in Amsterdam, these concertos from the collection Il Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Invenzione were already known throughout Europe. Then, after a century and a half in eclipse, the Four Seasons began to fascinate and captivate, especially after their rediscovery in the 1950s.

Since then, it is safe to say that this is the most recorded score ever! Inevitably, this raises the question of its 'wear and tear' over time... In 1992, Karl Richter proposed a new version for symphony orchestra, no doubt to renew our appreciation of this famous work.
