I am now in the absolutely horrible position of having to recommend yet another bloody Four Seasons. This is digital, and you can actually just listen to it as though it were a real record. It sounds, in fact, not entirely unlike an analog master tape! There is real texture here. When you boost the volume, or listen critically to the sound of specific instruments, it doesn't just fall apart like CD sound so often does. It's so good that you won't want to do any of those silly audiophile-type things. You'll just want to enjoy the music.

Janine Jansen follows her first Decca album of violin favorites with this high-energy account of Vivaldi s four violin concertos, known and loved as The Four Seasons . The Dutch violinist leads her specially selected group of soloists in a fresh look at the most loved of all classical works. What gives this recording its tremendous freshness and sparkle is Janine s use of just one player per part. Gone is the heavy orchestral sound which is so familiar, this is a four seasons which sparkles with new life and energy, like a freshly cleaned old painting revealed in its true colors.

Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons is the most famous work of Vivaldi, and among the most popular pieces of music barroca.A work appears here arranged by Michiru Oshima, Larry Coryell, Kazuhito Yamashita and Kazumi Watanabe for a duet of guitars and, presenting a fairly interesting that isntrumento, takes a very distinct coloration of the original, without changing the central idea of mъsica.Yamashita plays guitar with nylon strings while Larry played with steel strings, creating an interaction of tone that is very well explored during the music.The interpretation of both is very good and very different from each other.
