Vivaldi - The Four Seasons [Mullova/ Abbado-Chamber Orchestra Of Europe]Another Vivaldi warhorse, this is sensibly done with chamber forces, a full Orchestra can seem swampy, you need to hear clean individual textures in a work like this, it's how Vivaldi himself would have heard it, just about every respectable Violinist has tackled this well known work, and it's good to hear Mullova's take on it.
Viktoria Mullova is Russian, she's now 52, she recorded this work back in 1987, wow! 25 years ago already, the front cover is by Christian Steiner, a good shot, though i feel it could have been bettered in a different pose.
I must admit i liked Mullova's Winter the best,
Here's Julia Fischer playing Winter from Vivaldi's Four Seasons on YouTube.
