Nature in constant transformation: Antonio Vivaldi’s cycle of concertos The Four
Seasons traces the course of the year in music – with chirping birds, rumbling
thunderstorms, dancing peasants, joyful hunting parties and biting frost. The work,
performed by the Berliner Barock Solisten with Daishin Kashimoto, First Concertmaster
of the Berliner Philharmoniker, as soloist, is among the most popular compositions of
the Baroque era. Yet, Vivaldi’s contemporaries also composed works of dazzling energy,
as demonstrated by the concerti grossi of Tartini, Telemann and Geminiani.

Series Q: Ensembles of the Berliner Philharmoniker
Background
In the shadow of a titan
Beethoven and his successors
For the composers who followed him, Ludwig van Beethoven was both an inspiration and a challenge. How could anyone dare to measure themselves against a man who had left behind such consummate symphonies, string quartets and piano sonatas? Our series Berliner Philharmoniker Ensembles explores this uneasy relationship between role model and successors.
