Podger,Rachel Vivaldi: Le Quattro Stagioni - The Four Seasons Super-Audio CD

What better music than Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni to start the celebration of Rachel Podger's 50th birthday year? Together with the star players of Brecon Baroque, Podger guides listeners through the cycle of nature and life. Vivaldi's Four Seasons have become one of classical music's best loved works. However, most recordings adopt a strikingly similar approach to these scores, and familiarity has blunted the music's edge. Podger's new recording aims to reset the clock - refocusing on the ingredients that make The Four Seasons so special and reminding listeners of the remarkable freshness of Vivaldi's invention.
