Vivaldi’s Four Seasons have ever belonged to the most popular concertos of the violin repertoire. One of their first and most cherished recordings with period instruments was violinist Simon Standage’s 1981 interpretation with The English Concert orchestra and director Trevor Pinnock which has remained an evergreen in Deutsche Grammophon’s catalogue. Presented here on 180g vinyl, it’s been highly praised by critics and other authorities on Vivaldi including Gramophone who wrote, “….precise ensemble and a clean texture warmed by just the right amount of gently nourished tone, all captured in a pleasing, natural recording. Standage’s violin-playing is a model of elegance and good taste, and he finds the perfect partner in Pinnock…if a straightforwardly presented, expertly performed “Seasons” is what you want, then it is still hard to beat.”
