Spring, summer, autumn and winter – Antonio Vivaldi's cycle The Four Seasons is one of the most famous works of the Classical period. What is the appeal of this piece for us? We hear everything in the music: the springtime chirping of birds, the rushing of streams, the buzzing of mosquitoes, the sweltering heat of summer, a merry hunt in autumn and bone-chilling cold in winter. When string players of the Berliner Philharmoniker play on instruments by Antonio Stradivari, one of the best violin makers of the Baroque era, this music sounds twice as beautiful.
