These concertos were individually performed live in our concerts from 2015-2018, using a similar recording setup. Audience noise and applause have been removed in this version in preparation for an album release of the full version.
The subtitles in this video were written 300 years ago in the form of a sonnet, presumably by Vivaldi, and engraved directly onto the music. You may view the original Italian or an English translation by using the CC button.
Of all of Vivaldi’s concertos, the Four Seasons are the most widely performed of his works today. Vivaldi managed to change the course of music history by writing these four concertos; composers had set the seasons, the hours, the months and many other programs of music in the 17th century, but no one had written a set like the Four Seasons. Vivaldi did not just create a new kind of musical program, he refined the way in which all of the elements of the program work with the music, and he spun his programmatic flourishes over a very detailed harmonic and contrapuntal plan. Composers had previously written music that shivered with the cold, created storms and winds, imitated birds, and so on, but not to the extent and not with the careful planning of these concertos.
Vivaldi provided a detailed commentary for his work in the form of individual sonnets keyed exactly to different movements in the music, along with tempo indications, ornaments and articulation marks (please see the text and translations opposite the program). It’s an interesting question as to how to interpret Vivaldi’s design, and part of the charm of the works is that the program is very clear, yet the possibilities are endless: the main challenge is to choose between a mimetic and allegorical interpretation. In a mimetic interpretation, the performers would use extended techniques on their instruments to imitate as directly as possible the sounds of the program, including chattering teeth, raindrops, wind and stamping feet. In an allegorical performance, the players would play in such a way as to allow the listeners to use their imaginations to freely recreate the program: each musical line could convey a different layer of meaning. Similarly, by using different textures and phrasing in each of the musical lines as well the different sections, the performers can build up a tapestry of textures. It’s clear from contemporaneous accounts that a purely mimetic performance was frowned upon as too obvious, yet it is also clear that in Italy and Germany, string players were inventing new techniques to include a wider variety of sounds in their playing. Thus, it is quite possible to read the words “raindrops” and create a new, imaginative musical version of a rainy, wind-swept landscape without presenting the music pre-interpreted for the viewer.

Bro its 40 minute
Bro come back
@@jusjoe123 ok
this is wonderful
If I remove my like, then like again, do you still get a notification? 😮
Not sure if you'll ever see this message, but THIS IS The Four Seasons. Other recordings play this so soullessly, coining this masterpiece terms like pretentious. BUT THIS RECORDING is played with emotion, and you can clearly see that the musicians having fun while playing this. This is meant to be played with humor and emotion, and this hits the bullseye. Amazing, thank you.
You are very welcome.

And this is from someone who never finnished school (i have poblmos with spelling)

@@xarisstylianou I feel like i just had a stroke reading that
Decades of hard work and practice so we can all be blessed with 42 minutes of absolute perfection.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤
You're very welcome!
I confirm! I have a niece who practices since she was 8 yo. Now is 14. Still practicing. Still perfectioning her art but getting there... it is amazing to see the evolution of an artist. ❤❤
Exactly!
@@VoicesofMusic Congratulations! Did you ever record this concert on CD? I would like to buy it. Warm thanks from Italy.
If you have a set of good headphone, you know how insanely good this recording is in terms of audio quality. This channel generally has some of the best sound quality classical music videos in all of RUclips. I listen to this on HD800s and I am shocked that this RUclips video sounds better than most of local lossless classical music I had.
don't like headphones ( unnatural listening)
Loudspeakers only ! (ATC)
YES! exactly, and well shot as well! a feast to the easrs and the eyes, gotta love this channel.
hi I said the same thing to myself
I have Denon ah 9200 headphones and the sound of this chain for years is one of the best I have heard
Agreed. The best recordings of any music, any style, any age i've ever heard on yt's crappy compression.
@@jerzy1306 Ever tried HQ headphones?
Nothing can beat The Four Seasons played on period instruments by highly skilled musicians. The AV engineers who recorded this must also be commended for such high quality output.
Alex Ewan, you said it true! How they did it don't know, but am so glad they did! It cannot be compared.
Llppppł🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
...and with Vivaldi's notes as subtitles! That's pure gold!
Yes🙌
This is for sure the best recording of this masterpiece. I've watched it hundreds of times and it still gives me goosebumps.
2 million views-thanks, everyone!
What is the instrument behind the harpsichord? An organ of some kind?
Amazing performance!! 👏🏻
It’s a baroque organ
¡Muchísimas gracias a ustedes por esta obra músical tan exquisita!
This masterpiece deserves 2 billion views
@@thangnguyenquoc6995i think all quattro stagioni videos on youtube far exceed that mark. Curious that Vivaldi was nearly forgotten for two centuries and more but today his music thrives❤
I’ve listened to this piece maybe a thousand times but THIS version is by far the absolute best I’ve ever heard
You guys are absolutely fa tastic. Thank you
Listen to the Canadian Brass’ version.
Absolutely!
110%
in my quietness , in my silence, listening to Vivaldi's Four Season gives my soul peace
You know what truly stands out to me in this, it's not their playing (while it is perfect and incredible), not the insanely good audio quality (seriously, wow), but the smiles and expressions on their faces, their body movements too. You can TELL when a musician truly enjoys what they're doing, because they're elated not just before, not just after, but WHILE they play, and their faces and bodies reflect that. Great piece, even better performance!! Much love from SoCal!!
I totally agree, especially given that they have likely performed this so many times!
100%
I was never a fan of Vivaldi's Four Seasons...until now!! What a difference, compared to the symphonic versions. This Baroque session is so moving!!
Gorgeous. Plus all the soloist were completely interchangeable!. Exceptional ensemble!
A quote to add to your comment. “To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” ― Ludwig van Beethoven
I've been listening to Vivaldi since before I was born, my mother would play records when I kicked her at night. I have, for my entire life, told anyone who asked that my favourite 'song' is Vivaldi's Winter. I am VERY picky with interpretations, and refuse to listen to any that don't match the tempo and feel that I think goes with the piece. I'm not musically trained, I'm just picky.
But THIS.... this is true perfection in a way I never thought I could find. There's such joy and playfulness in it, the violas and violins bounce, the harpsichord prances, I've been crying on and off while listening to this. There are trills I never heard before in anyone else's interpretations, and yet all the 'changes' from what I'm used to hearing seem to be precisely what was missing all these years.
I've heard Four Seasons countless times, but I never understood what a bad-ass Vivaldi was until I listened to this performance! This composition must have been the Heavy Metal of its day. An absolutely stunning rendition, with a recording to match. I heard every instrument. The acoustic separation was superb while maintaining the musicians' beautiful blending and the wonderfully bright tone of the hall. Everyone played with passion and precise abandon, as if it was the final performance of their lives, and watching the musical relationship between the soloist and the first cellist was a joy. Bravo players, audio engineers, and video producers! This is my first visit to this channel, and I'm a new fan. Time to go donate.
🤘
P
Absolutely. I was actually watching the fingering of the lead violinist observing exactly that. Or perhaps it's that a lot of metal is a lot more classically influenced than most people would think.
Listen to RV 199 _Il Sospetto_ concerto: first movement's use of dissonance is quite reminiscent of modern metal.
I totally agree with you!
Our daughter is in first grade and her music lesson today introduced Vivaldi and The Four Seasons. She listened to pieces with her headphones, in order to work through the lesson.
After reading a bit about Vivaldi in her lesson, I decided to search for this composition. My search led me directly here, and I've been lost in this piece since. Everything about this work is nothing short of amazing.
What makes finding this perfect is that all 3 kids are listening to it in the background while we work and talk. I'm reminded how blessed I am.
Thank you.
The stereophony of this recording is just incredible
Been listening to this Vivaldi’s masterpiece since I was a teenager, I’m in my fifties. This is the purest performance I’ve listened to so far. With these instruments, this must be the closest to the original sound.
I am an old time rocker and this is 250 years ahead of its time. Vivaldi composed a concept composition with multimedia presentation. It has rhythm, beat and those incredible hooks. I could listen to this forever.
Ta mère
THE BEST 40 MINUTES I HAVE EVER SPENT ON RUclips!! The BEST performance of Four Seasons EVER! The soloists are outstanding in leveraging the exceptional performance by the orchestra as a whole . The sound quality is superb. I'M STUNNED WITH THE JOY of this entire concert!
Wow, thanks!
It is only at my 68 years of old that I appreciate "the" classical music with THIS orchestra to make pale the other orchestras to 30,40,50 musicians ... magic .
I never imagined in my life I'd be crying listening to Spring. Life is full of surprises, and some hide in plain sight.
Thanks to you all for helping me to see.
Winter is something else, so much technique and emotion
I don't have words for how marvelous this is. Passion, great sound, authenticity, virtuosity, transcendence. Thank you so much.
Our pleasure!
I'm a bass DJ with major metal influence, and this is just so incredible. It's insane when you realize everything stemmed from this beautiful music.
I've always liked the female interpreters for the Four Seasons. In my opinion, women feel Vivaldi in their souls. You guys are absolutely spectacular. Thanks.
I am reminded daily of the immense beauty possible in God's creation. This served as today's reminder, and will for many in the future.
The only Winter I love is Vivaldi’s. Beautiful.
Underrated comment! Agree.
I agree too. It’s so beautiful
The best "Winter" I ever heard. and I love it !
I’m gonna use this for the rest of my life 😂😂😂
Winter is better than others. Absolutelly
The perfect balance between chaos and harmony sounds like this. This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Vivaldi truly tapped into some kind of godly force of chaos and harmony while he composed this. He mixed the two so perfectly that he shows you the fragile balance of the universe. Those two extreme forces balanced so perfectly created this timeless masterpiece. There’s definitely something special about this amazing composition … bravo! 👏
Thank you!
And your description, perfect as well !! Thank you!!
@@lupitaseoane7466 c’est !§
he also developed his own web browser. truly a genius
I totally agree. You expressed it perfectly. There is something godly about this music.
There are some concerts and shows in life that should not be missed. It is just the perfect combination of acoustic, energy, instruments and people
This is a perfect example of “You should have been there”.
Youssefian truly turnes her violin into a bird. What a legend.
Legend!

Thank you, thank you, thank you !!! For taking the time and posting.
The passion of the performers is an intangible that seriously affects the ultimate "feel" of music. VoM never lacks in that regard.
I have lost count of how many times I have listened to this masterpiece. The best version so far, tempo is perfect, key is perfect. I always listen to this everyday, literally! Kudos!
The end of the Allegro movement of Winter is a musical extasis that belongs to a sublime interpretation that just a few human beings can acheve. It´s absolutely gorgeous and is reflected in her face. It brings me deep peace, and makes me believe that such classical music pieces are some of the highest relections of intelligence in all aspects that a person can achieve, as composer and as performer.
The Best musicians i've ever seen, and playing the entire Vivaldi's seasons, i'll love listen to it!
Say hi to Brazil ;)
Brazzzillll!!!
hope all is well
I literally broke out into tears by the time I came to Vivaldi's winter sequence. The headphones which I bought for my new phone delivered an absolute masterpiece and clarity of Vivaldi's beautiful work, The Four Seasons! Amazing performance by everyone ! I would love to see this performance in person if it were to happen in Canada.
Last May (2022) we sat in the first row at the Charles Church in Vienna. We still get chills hearing the Four Seasons. The performance on original instruments will vibrate in my mind for all of the years I have left. Thank you Vienna. OH, and The Marriage of Figaro at the State Opera was shocking in its perfection. Put Vienna on your bucket list if you can. You will never get it out of your head.
It was a forty minutes long eargasm. Gawd what a QUALITY! All praises to stupefying performance. These artists did a stunning job. Can't tell how thankful I am to every single person who were involved in making this video to youtube.
Vivaldi was never rendered nor displayed better. Great performance by top artists. Highly enjoyable performance, long to be cherished.
The quality in these is something else. It's like they're playing right next to me. Wonderful work!
Thank you, we appreciate it.
the 4k really makes it feel like im there
A high-quality audio codec is used for these recordings: Opus stereo at ~136 kbps. (you can verify using youtube-dl -x). That's far superior to mp3 or most other audio codecs at this bitrate, but isn't atypical of current RUclips recordings which are generally encoded in either opus stored in a webm container, or m4a. Of these two, opus is the better codec.
¡Bellisima interpretación muy hermosa!
¡La mejor 👍🏻!
The best interpretation on youtube. Vivaldi would be proud of you. Congratulations!!!
For over fifty years,Vivaldi has been my numero uno Baroque composer.I do believe this to be the best performance I have listened to.I am sure the great master would be pleased.
Thanks!
After listening to VoM's rendition, I can never go back to listen to other versions (and tunings) of Winter. This performance is THE definitive Four Seasons.
Ive seen this a 1k times and still amazes me the quality and professionalism of the interpretation
I'm honestly in tears with the composition of everything. I've heard orchestra before but oh my goodness, I'm blown away.
I love how expressive the musicians are. They are breathing life into the music and you can really imagine what Vivaldi wants to convey in each movement.
Yessss
I've noticed the best musician become one with their instrument, Voices of Music musicians demonstrate this so beautifully.
literally breathing
They are all excellent throughout the whole concert, but the "Spring" soloist is a force of nature, what an astonishing WOMAN, I'm in love! It seems so simple... We just admire...
My best regards and admiration.
I thought it was lady Gaga for a second lol
The best "Spring" I ever heard... soft and powerful...perfect and beautiful!!
FINALLY AN ORCHESTRA WHO PLAYS THIS MASTERPIECE WHITOUT A LOT OF VIBRATO
THANK YOU SO MUCH
:)
Это называется:аутентичное исполнение
The best version of Four Seasons in my opinion
Agreed
The period instruments give this rendition an outstanding quality, sheer perfection ! Kudos to these amazing musicians and AV crew.
Hello, how are you doing
Nice meeting you dear
This is an absolute masterclass in how to play Vivaldi. Not since Red Priest's performances of Vivaldi's work have i been moved so.
I heard the communication between all the instruments, I see the joy on everyone's face, I feel my heart beats for the scenes of four seasons. My respect and praise for this top-ranking performance. Bravo...❤
The main violinist is a real magnet, she seems to guide the whole session!
its a nostalgic experience seeing all this again and the best part is, now I can watch all this in a single video
the fact that sometimes you can hear her breath makes me feel the tension and the suspense much more
some of the breaths in between stops is to signal the timing
There is a reason why Vivaldi's Four Seasons is still around and so popular. And this is an insanely good recording. Bravi
I believe this is by far the best performance ever from Vivaldi's 4 Seasons and the sound quality is also marvelous.
Miller-Freivogel is absolut worlclass on the violine🥰
BRAVO👏
I've listen Vivaldi many and many times but this is the best version of all.
Superlative audio quality, superlative execution, I can't ask for more.
Bravi!
I listen to mostly Black and Death Metal. This stuff is amazing!
This is like the metal of classical music, at least to me, especially in the really intense parts.
These musicians make the world worth live in. Bravo!
This is a wonderful set of performances that is ideal to share with my middle school and high school string players in remote Teton Valley, Idaho. They are struck by the differences in style and actual instruments, bows, set-up, etc. My violinists also don't balk as much now when I ask them to stand while playing. One amazing connection that we have to this group is that Carla and I studied with the same violin teacher in our teenage years. Thank you Jack Ashton for teaching one of your amazing soloists! Voices of Music is incredible.
This is full of expression, full of everything I need in this world. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is an exquisite masterpiece that never fails to captivate with its timeless beauty and evocative melodies. The way Vivaldi weaves the elements of nature into his music is truly enchanting, and your performance of it brings out its brilliance even further. It is nothing short of breathtaking. Your exceptional skill, passion, and interpretation shine through every note, bringing this timeless composition to life in a truly remarkable way. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with the world and allowing us to experience the magic of the Four Seasons through your artistry.
I am speechless with amazement and I can only say thank you for all of this you brought to the world. ❤
If I was to die tomorrow I would not feel cheated about my life after hearing this. In a world full of negativity it makes my heart soar to know that human beings can create and perform such uplifting, emotional, joyous music like this. Reading the comments it is life affirming to know that music like this can bring us together.
That was a beautiful comment. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic. Heard the birds, the winds, the leafs and the ice as I had never experienced. Musicians suprême performance with perfect audio and video. Its a unique experience that me and my little girls enjoyed. I'll follow and support your amazing work.
I'm not easy to impress, I'm not weepy...but this...THIS brought me to tears! This is so immensely beautiful! It speaks to my heart and soul.
Can't donate because I don't have a card. But I promise to not skip the ads in the other videos. Even on a small Bluetooth speaker, the quality is incredible. Just on the first part, already uplifted.
Thank you.
One of the greatest pieces of music of all time!
Cynthia Freivogel is just incredible. Bravo!
I would have loved it when she had played all four seasons. Youssefian is great but Freivogel is better.
Nothings comes near to this harmony, dynamic and force ! Wow !!!
Just came across this performance. I have no words. That people exist this artistically gifted is beyond any superlative I can come with up with.
Over the years I have listened to countless versions of this work. I did not think that I would be surprised. This recording is simply in a league of its own. Bravo! Absolutely brilliant. And the sound quality.....OMG!! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Brilliant...Vivaldi can still hear you and is "over thr moon" that his music is still appreciated and loved after all this time..brilliantly executed ......
Thank you so much!
To my mind this is the most exciting music ever written. Whenever i listen to it, i live all four seasons. I feel gentle warmth of spring to the intense heat of summer the through autumn to the freezing of winter and the pleasure of a horse drawn slay ride in the snow. The prescission of the playing is incredible.
Thanks!
I burst into tears listening this phenomenal performance. Bravo! Believe even Vivaldi himself would appreciate it.
I have listened to this piece countless times growing so sick of it, yet Voices of Music never fails to keep me invested in a piece no matter how tired I am of the melody.
Do you need to go to doctor if you are sick ?
Before I go all fanboy about Alana - the most gorgeous and talented person you could imagine! - I have to say that ALL the ladies showing off in this video look AMAZING and that an authentic mix of talent, dedication, enthusiasm, and creativity shown by each is SUPER ATTRACTIVE ( yes enough so for ALL CAPS!)
The most remarkable dedication to her craft and the music - her mastery shows and with great audio quality and decent headphones this is as amazing a musical experience one could dream of!
The way her skill shows - it comes through - little improvisation here and there but small subtle understated and classy additions subtraction or alterations to remain true to the piece buy breathe in some fresh air!!!
That said, I hope that these ladies have properly registered their hands as lethal weapons for how many hearts they've broken during this performance!
All these "voices of music" pieces just look and sound so great, especially how the musicians really seem to be having a good time and getting right there in the pocket with each other. About 3:00 in or so, Alana pulls this note perfect combination of the written notation and her own flavor, subtle enough not to disrupt everyone's favorite, but very much fresh and outspoken during the listen It's that sort of thing here, and not just by her! Everyone is right in there, nobody is
phoning it in". Thank you all for this!
Then at roughly 23:35-23:55 that girl just BLOWS US AWAY with her performance, and brings the energy up an entire level to really contrast with the earlier mood! It's so good!
I have fallen in love. This is so captivating, headphones on and the world outside has stopped.
I think even signore Vivaldi would be mightily impressed with this performance!
I believe Cynthia is an absolute angel with tremendous talent! Bravo!
:)
This is the best performance I’ve heard in all my life! Vivaldi is applauding you from wherever he is! Wonderful!!
Thank you, it was an adventure!
I agree. This is the first time I've really liked The Four Seasons
Ho superato i 60 anni, mai (o quasi) ascoltato musica classica; ho provato e...sono stato fulminato. Ora la ascolto più spesso e inoltre, grazie a Voi, ho ascoltato la musiche di Vivaldi, le Quattro Stagioni, ad oggi per me sono il must della musica classica. Grazie
Prova ad ascoltare le cantate di Bach prodotte dalla Netherlands Bach society!!!!
It is 6 o'clock in the morning, spring is here and while the city is mostly asleep,
leaving room for the birds to sing their enchanting songs,
I listen to your truely wonderful play on my headphone,
leaving me so enchanted and full of joy!
Life can be beautiful at times. :-)
I should go out for a stroll to listen to the birds,
before all those busy people and their cars and the industry is filling the air with noisy sounds!
The best performance and record ever. Congrats and well done , Voices of the Music and soloists !! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Some people claim that the sonics distributed on RUclips are compressed, and far from hi-res, but I find them flawless, at least in these publications. I use ultra high-end headphones, and this sounds irresistible to me….
Using optimized DIY electronics myself and concur, no lack in dynamics.
Opus stereo at ~136 kbps gives very good results!
I have to admit I live with my ordinary, but contemporary, laptop but being on a farm - by myself - I can bring the level up to concert without bothering anyone and find the response just so good. As a reasonable harpist I feel I have a good "ear" and those strings just talk to me. Mind you, Christmas is coming - and 40 deg days when retiring inside so a decent headset looks like coming my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sofya
Well-engineered audio will sound better than averagely-engineered audio even when compressed to streaming bitrates! Makes a difference.
@@AmbroseCadwell Makes sense, but of course I wouldn’t mind hi-res audio from RUclips similar to streaming services.
I cannot tell how many times I've heard this specific performance. I knew four seasons many years ago, but this isn't just a performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons... this is THE PERFORMANCE. Haven't found anything like this. Everything is perfect, the musicians, the soloists, the photograph, the video editing, the sound recording (OMG!). Everything matches in the way it should be. Sometimes I found myself watching the same video over and over, just staring there, enjoying art, pure art. Love u folks. Thanks for this.
Vivaldi Four Seasons is always the best Baroque of all times. This performance is awesome , vibrant and refreshing.
Oh my God the talent of this musicians is beyond my senses. It brings tears of joy every time I heard this play.
Long live to them and the great Vivaldi. His music will live as much as God’s creations.
Brava!!!!!! to our ladies, Alana, Carla and Cynthia. Bravo to VoM for the excellent, over the top, compilation, production and presentation. I particularly love the joy written all over Alana in the giving! Certainly joy on my end of the wire in receiving. You all, the entire VoM ensemble, soloists, production crew are the very best! Something of true greatness still comes from San Francisco. Donate fellow listeners! I know I must have this available to maintain and continue.
Thank you so much!
Stunning! In complete agreement with the other comments posted here. Musicianship, performance, acoustics, recording quality, cinematography, as well as comprehensive notes and a transcript, too. An utterly compelling experience - at so many levels - and the best I've come across. A shining example of Vivaldi. Congratulations.
Utter perfection. Brilliant orchestration of sound, instruments married in close harmonies ~
I've never heard anything quite so beautiful. 🙏 [thank you for your perfection]
J'ai une overdose des 4 saisons de Vivaldi. J'ai 70 ans je l'ai connu aux cours de musique quand j'avais 10 ans;
Such an amazing concert, Alana, Carla, Cynthia they all perform so masterfully, they're loving every second playing, and it feels the same way to watch... they bring a smile to me each time I see these video. My absolute favorites forever!
This brings this overplayed music alive. The first time I've ever really enjoyed it. Superb. For me Alana Youssefian is a star
That 3rd part of the Summer is the embodiment of the classical music, pure bliss!
there's this Mystery to the music makes my 100% sure that its the most straightforward way to explain existence...
The ultimate perfection
The talent of the group is amazing, my new task is to see them in person!
What I enjoyed the most is the facial expressions and emotion they place into this!
I especially enjoyed Cynthia's smile and smirks! She is impressive to say the least!
This is now my at work background music, really sets a tone for the shift!
Quite simply, the greatest piece of music ever written. Sheer genius.
It really is unbelievable.
My son has autism and he is a 6 yo. Thanks to you, he easily identifies this master piece of music and runs to watch the video ❤️❤️❤️. So we play the video all the time.
Good on you for showing him The Four Seasons at such a young age. Even if they don't fully understand it, it will boost their creativity.
When you thought this piece cannot be outdone by anyone anymore, how wrong was I… it brought tears of joy and excitement, thank you so much for this.
I join the fellow listeners who praise the audio quality, great job by the engineers. Just a nitpick: sometimes, with headphones, you can hear someone's breathing. It was a wonderful rendition, it never really occurred to me that Vivaldi didn't have big ensemble orchestras like the modern ones, plus the instruments weren't the same (harpsichord, of course!) or played the same way we see today. I think I like this "historically accurate", original version more, in fact. It really feels more authentic. Thank you, I can't believe I experienced this beautifully crafted performance for free.
I think the breathing adds to the performance :)
Winter is something else, waoo can't believe music was this good centuries ago ♦
Right?
Man, this performance was magnificent! 🎉 the orchestra, the setting, the piece, basically perfection.
I feel like I have climbed for a moment to an Olympus of perfection. Like another mortal, my skin has crawled with the perfection of each note and harmony. It is not only Vivaldi's work, it is also a magnanimous interpretation.
I have become addicted to Voices of Music and I cannot and do not want to stop listening to them.
