Antonio Vivaldi: The Four Seasons
Astor Piazzolla: The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (arr. Leonid Desyatnikov)
Academy of St Martin in the Fields
Joshua Bell (director/violin)
From an icy Italian winter to the heady, sensual warmth of a South American summer: violinist Joshua Bell leads the Academy of St Martin in the Fields on a musical journey through the sights and sounds of two continents and four very different seasons. Inspired by Vivaldi鈥檚 best-known work, Piazzolla 鈥� Argentina鈥檚 20th-century tango king, whose 100th anniversary we celebrate this year 鈥� created his own response, complete with musical quotations. While Vivaldi鈥檚 virtuosic concertos celebrate contrast 鈥� the freshness of spring, with its sudden thunderstorms, versus the languid heat of summer 鈥� Piazzolla鈥檚 musical landscape remains more constant, always swaying to the pervasive rhythm of the tango.
