Interesting Facts

  • Programmatic Pioneer: Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons is one of the earliest examples of "programmatic music"—music that tells a specific story or depicts a scene. Vivaldi even published sonnets alongside the music to explain exactly what each movement represented (e.g., "Sleeping Drunks" in Autumn).
  • The Moscow Virtuosi: Founded in 1979 by Vladimir Spivakov, this ensemble became one of Russia's most prestigious exports, known for their precision and emotional depth in Baroque repertoire.
  • Historical Context: While Vivaldi composed these works around 1718, they fell into relative obscurity until the mid-20th century. Today, they are arguably the most recorded pieces of classical music in history.

Barokk Mesterművek - Vivaldi: A négy évszak (Hungarian Translation)

Összegzés

Merüljön el a 18. század legkiválóbb dallamaiban a Baroque Masterpieces válogatással. Ez az 1997-es kiadás Antonio Vivaldi legendás „A négy évszak” (Le quattro stagioni) című művét állítja a középpontba, a világhírű Moszkvai Virtuózok és Vladimir Szpivakov előadásában. A CD-n felcsendül továbbá Johann Sebastian Bach a-moll hegedűversenye és Georg Friedrich Händel fenséges Vízi zenéje is. Ez a gyűjtemény a barokk korszak drámaiságát és eleganciáját hozza el az Ön otthonába.

Érdekességek

  • Programzene: Vivaldi műve az egyik legkorábbi példája a programzenének, ahol a hangszerek konkrét természeti jelenségeket (villámlás, madárcsicsergés) utánoznak.
  • Moszkvai Virtuózok: Az 1979-ben alapított zenekar Vladimir Szpivakov vezetésével az orosz zenei kultúra egyik legfontosabb nagykövete, különösen a barokk művek interpretációjában.
