Publisher Description
Of the many remarkable violinist-composers Italy produced during the Baroque era, the most remarkable of all was Antonio Vivaldi. An artist of astonishing vigor and productivity (he wrote more than 450 concertos, 40 operas, and many solo, chamber, and vocal works over the course of his career), Vivaldi was one of the most innovative and influential musicians of his day. His energetic instrumental writing contributed importantly to popularizing the concerto, a fairly new compositional genre during his day, and had a great impact on his musical contemporaries, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach.

A Must
This guide was very helpful in understanding who he was and what moved him to write the way he did.I always listened to this in college, I now listen with knew ears. I can really get into the movement of the piece so much better after hearing this Cd. A must for the Four Season Lover
