The Italian ensemble I Musici were instrumental in bringing the Venetian composers Vivaldi and Albinoni back to the attention of the modern world. Today’s ‘authentic’ music movement would never have been born had the group not first spearheaded the ‘Baroque Revival’ in the 1950s.

ABC Classics is proud to present this beautiful film performance of one of the classical repertoire’s most renowned pieces, by one of classical music’s most reputed and established early music ensembles, in one of the world’s most iconic and romantic cities: Venice.

The fortunes of I Musici and The Four Seasons have been closely tied together in the course of some five decades. Their recordings of these concertos have sold in staggering quantities, bringing Vivaldi’s masterpieces into the daily lives of millions of music lovers around the world and making The Four Seasons one of the most popular works in the whole classical repertoire. These are scores I Musici carry not only in their heads – as you will see in this film! – but also in their hearts. Their music is full of life, clarity and vigour that come from years of dedication and commitment to this music – music that is as much a part of them as it has always been of Venice.

Anton von Munster’s beautiful film presents Vivaldi’s music in elegant Venetian vistas, alongside masterpieces by artists including Canaletto, Guardi and Tintoretto, and fabulous costumes and masks worn during the city’s winter Carnival.

Also included is a bonus CD featuring I Musici playing five more of Vivaldi’s magnificent concertos, including the Concerto madrigalesco and the Holy Sepulchre Sonata.
