Vivaldi’s violin concertos called “The Four Seasons” are one of the best known and loved collections of string music in our time. Their programmatic nature, based on the lines of sonnets printed along with the music, brings seasonal sights and sounds readily and delightfully to the ear: the bird calls in “Spring,” the swarm of wasps in “Summer,” the hunters’ horns in “Autumn,” the winds and icy snow of “Winter.”This volume contains these wonderfully evocative masterpieces along with eight other concertos that comprise Vivaldi’s complete Opus 8 including “The Storm at Sea,” “Pleasure,” and “The Hunt.”Dr. Eleanor Selfridge-Field, a recognized authority on music of the Italian Baroque, has researched primary sources in Italy to prepare this specially commissioned, authoritative new edition.

Together with its excellent scores new music plates have been prepared to create an unusually pristine and elegant edition the volume provides a thorough introduction to Vivaldi’s music and times, a new English translation of the original sonnets (with a guide to their linear placement in the scores), and extensive editorial notes for students of the period.

13. Vivaldi: Voice of the Baroque

Author: by H. C. Robbins Robbins Landon
Published at: University of Chicago Press; 1st edition (August 15, 1996)
ISBN: 978-0226468426

Vivaldi boasted that he could compose a concerto faster than a scribe could copy one. Despite his prolificacy, The Four Seasons, and the majority of his already published work had fallen into obscurity by the time of his death in poverty in 1741.

Most of his music-concertos, sonatas, operas, and sacral music-has been published only recently. Very little has been written on Vivaldi for the nonspecialist, especially in English. Landon rediscovers the composer in this accessible and musically informed biography while presenting documentation of the musician’s life discovered after the Baroque revival in the 1930s.

This book includes illustrations of eighteenth-century Venice and several newly translated letters, thoroughly evoking the style of the time and revealing some of the more personal aspects of Vivaldi’s life. “Belongs on the shelf of every serious music student.”Kirkus “Gives a good feel for Vivaldi’s life and times …

And describes particularly well how Vivaldi has been revived.”Booklist “Robbins Landon is marvelously entertaining, extravagantly learned.”The Independent
