Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

On his second album for Sony Classical violinist Luka Faulisi presents a highly individual interpretation of Vivaldi's pioneering masterpiece, 'The Four Seasons'. The violinist's cinematic approach to 'The Four Seasons' involved encouraging members of the orchestra to engage with the composer's onomatopoeic animal and nature sounds and adding percussion not found in the original scores. Faulisi has also opted to splice Vivaldi's concertos with three complementary works inspired by the seasons: a traditional Catalan melody made famous by Pablo Casals, 'El cant dels ocells'; the haunting 'Nocturne' by Lili Boulanger; and an excerpt from Tchaikovsky's 'The Seasons', 'October - Autumn Song', a piece of understated romanticism inspired by Tolstoy.
