Description
Piano reduction with solo Violin part for all 4 concertos.
One of the best-loved and most endearing works of the late Baroque, Vivaldi’s set of Violin Concertos The Four Seasons Op.8are presented here in an authoritative Barenreiter Urtext edition.
This publication of Vivaldi’s masterpiece is a critical performing edition of the Manchester manuscript source, which originatesfrom Vivaldi’s circle and represents an alternative (in many cases, more explicit) version of these famous concertos than the first printed edition published by Le Cene in Amsterdam in 1725.The Manchester sourcehasuntil now not been used as the primary basis for a modern performing edition, and offers new readings and evidence for players and listeners alike.
With Christopher Hogwood’s new edition a fresh gust ofwind has taken hold of The Four Seasons.
