Giuliano Carmignola and the Venice Baroque Orchestra use a slightly different scoring of Vivaldi's masterpiece, the 1996 Ricordi critical edition, and somehow unveil world premieres of three Vivaldi concertos. Their period-instrument performance of The Four Seasons is beautifully played and recorded.
The Four Seasons
Violin Concerto RV257 in E flat major
Violin Concerto, RV 376 in B flat major
Violin Concerto, RV 211 in D major
