Editorial Reviews

TDK presents a very special program in true Italian style. A must for all lovers of excellent Baroque Music: the most "Italian" and also most widely known and played Baroque concerti, The Four Seasons, performed in what could have been their original setting. Played in some of the most magnificent Venetian Villas the well-known pieces gain a whole new aspect. Andrea Palladio, the 16th century architect, who gave a whole epoch its name, designed some of the houses and the beauty of the architecture adds to the music’s narrative program The musical descriptions of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are brought even more vividly to life in these beautiful Venetian surroundings. The renowned Italian Baroque specialists I Solisti Veneti and their director Claudio Scimone are closely linked with the renaissance in Italian musical life over recent decades. Their untiring musical searches have unearthed treasures by Vivaldi, Rossini, Donizetti, Spontini and Ponchielli and re-established them in the repertoire. Picture Format: 16:9 • Sound Format (DVD): LPCM DD 5.0, DTS 5.0, PCM-Subtitles (DVD) GB, D, F, E

This is a superb recording. The music is excellently recorded. Video scenes from the lavish Venetian villas built by Palladio complement the superb orchestra.A must have for Vivaldi fans

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Approach, April 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vivaldi - The Four Seasons / I Solisti Veneti, Claudio Scimone (DVD)
The style of the playing in this performances is very "unique" (read: odd). I bought it looking for a modern and historically informed performance. What I got is hard to describe but I'll give you some pointers. It is on modern instruments, with romantic sound (including ever-present vibrato) rather slow and contemplative (stiff). If you are looking for "traditional" performances go for I Musici, who although dated, have energy and elegant expression in their playing. The bonus on Palladian Villas is corny.
