Four Seasons Beyond Vivaldi

Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, a quartet of violin concertos completed around 1720, even today dominate season-themed music. Here, however, we take you on something of an alternative seasonal journey, from composer Alexey Shor’s violin-fuelled spring in modern Manhattan to 17th-century Thomas Simpson’s cheerful winter dance scored for viol consort. There are works by Piazzolla, Glazunov, Tchaikovsky and Spohr, as well as vocal music evoking the beauty of nature and rural life courtesy of Haydn’s oratorio The Seasons and Vaughan Williams’s cantata for women’s voices and orchestra, Folk Songs of the Four Seasons.
