If you thought you knew The Four Seasons, be prepared for surprises! GRAMMY winners Jeannette Sorrell and Apollo’s Fire join with virtuoso violinist Francisco Fullana to present Vivaldi’s revolutionary acts of musical storytelling with fierce commitment. The joys and sorrows of people who lived close to nature emerge vividly – from a lonely shepherd boy to a drunken harvest party to a wild thunderstorm. Projected images of Italian baroque landscape paintings highlight the story. Plus… dueling cellists evoke Vivaldi’s “rock ’n roll” personality in the stormy Concerto for Two Cellos. The party ends in exuberant madness when the group whips up Vivaldi’s La Folia (“Madness”).
“Superlative music-making… combining European stylishness and American entrepreneurialism.”
– The Daily Telegraph (London)
