Experience “The Four Seasons” by Vivaldi in the marvellous Sala Bianca of Teatro Sociale in Como, performed the violin soloist and conductor Elvin Dhimitri, strings quintet and harpsichord.
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons are a symbol of his era. Not only is the feeling of astonishment conveyed by his spectacular description of nature, but also by his musical language. The composition aims at astounding the listener with unusual melodies, created through increased rhythm and higher harmonic contrast. His music is thus freer, more fluid and able to better describe the storey it wishes to narrate. The scenes range from the chirp of different birds in spring, to summer storms, from fleeing foxes in autumn, to teeth chattering and rain pouring down in winter. In accordance with the highest expression of baroque concepts, nature is dramatised, and the audience feels actively involved in the rapid succession of events taking place in the work of art.
