The Four Seasons: Antonio Vivaldi & Giovanni Guido

The Royal Opera Orchestra plays these 8 seasons under the musical direction of the Argentinean Andrès Gabetta (violin).

We all know "The Four Seasons of Vivaldi", it is one of the "hits" of classical music.

What if the Antonio Vivaldi’s famous Four Seasons had been preceded by those of Giovanni Antonio Guido, star violinist of Parisian orchestras of the maturity of Louis XIV?

The two works are finally presented in the same programme in spite of their differences: the well-known virtuosity of Vivaldi's work contrasts with the mixture of French good taste and Italian features of Guido's Seasons.

It is also the first time that the version with strings and winds is filmed.
