Vivaldi was already a renowned opera composer in Venice and throughout Italy, but he gained exceptional notoriety throughout Europe when the concerti constituting his Quattro Stagioni were published in Amsterdam. These theme concertos, which embraced the imagination of Arcimboldo, gained top billing in private and public concerts. But their composition for solo violin has impressive virtuosity and expression: Stefan Plewniak becomes both unchained and sensual in them, not giving the Orchestre de l'Opéra Royal any opportunity for respite in intensely sounding out these seasons that are so emblematic of Baroque Europe !

Recorded from July 14th to 16th 2023 at the Opéra Royal de Versailles.

Booklet French/English/German - Duration: 47'42
