Following the stage production in which the orchestra joined forces with a dancer. Encouraged by the outstanding success of these performances, the Akademie für Alte Musik was keen to rerecord the works in the studio. Although free from all choreographic intentions here, their interpretation was still profoundly influenced by this experience. This is the first time that the Akademie have recorded the The Four Seasons, due to its overexposure!
"A Four Seasons on autopilot from these period instrument players was never going to happen and the result is thrillingly visceral. Seiler hasn't set out merely to stand apart from the crowd...she and the Berliners have simply insisted on taking nothing for granted...the sheer flair of this new release dazzles as much as it delights." - BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE
