In this free title from the Musically Speaking Conductor's Guides Series, American conductor Gerard Schwarz breaks down one of Antonio Vivaldi's most famous works. The album starts off with a full performance of Vivaldi's four violin concerti The Four Seasons. Then Schwarz gives you a brief biography of the prolific Baroque master Vivaldi. He follows this introduction with a breakdown of each concerto for each season, movement by movement. Vivaldi wrote four sonnets to accompany the seasons, and Schwarz uses these sonnets to paint a picture of what the music was attempting to convey. Short pieces of The Four Seasons music are interspersed throughout Schwarz's lecture. At the end of the lecture, Schwarz describes how Vivaldi's work was rediscovered in the 1920s after fifteen volumes of his work were discovered in a monastery. Enjoy this brief introduction to one of the most famous works of classical music of all time.
