The Four Seasons is probably one of the most frequently recorded classical works; and this recording from 1992 has also been published several times. Audionautes is now releasing the title as a flatterer for audiophile ears in a one-step pressing. The recording was made in the church of San Martino in Treviso, Italy. The musicians of the "Fröhliche Marca" (Sonatori de la Gioiosa Marca), a baroque ensemble founded in 1983, can be heard. The first violin comes from the house of Guarneri and is played here by Giuliano Carmignola, who is considered one of the best violinists in Italy.

AudioNautes proudly offers this special one-step limited edition version celebrating the 30th anniversary of this beautiful engraving of Sonatori of Gioiosa Marca, an extraordinary group of Treviso, which also present a recording devoted almost entirely to Violin Concertos, always by Vivaldi, and assembled in the program "the humane passions" because of their titles: The favorite, anxiety, suspicion, The loving and pleasure.
As is evident, this episode belongs to that style of music, "descriptive," so dear to some authors of the past, including Vivaldi. In spite of what he said about Stravinsky, Vivaldi — i.e., that he would have written the same concerto hundreds of times — it is the richness and variety of timbres and rhythms found to distinguish these songs, while in the identical construction scheme and the same processing structure. The merit of Sonatori Treviso, led by violinist Giuliano Carmignola, lies in their execution by Vivaldi, based on ancient instruments and techniques of contemporary compositions.
