Vivaldi - The Four Seasons (Hardcover, illustrated edition)

Enjoy classical composer Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' as they were experienced in Vivaldi's own time. This new edition is a reproduction of the very first edition of The Four Seasons book and uniquely combines the music with the sonnets that inspired the concertos and the art work of Vivaldi's Venice. Rococo illustrations from The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York capture the allure of Venice and illustrates how the '… peasant celebrates with dances and songs/The immense pleasure of the happy harvest.'

The accompanying compact-disc recording of the concertos by The Philharmonia Virtuoso allows the reader to live the full experience of the sonnets as Vivaldi intended.
