Vivaldi - Four seasons (4 hands) 1ST RECORDING EVER (OF THIS VERSION)

[frankiisko]

Hi to everyone!! Here  it's the main piece of our piano 4 hands concert last Christmas (which i'm uploading little by little )

Here I post the great and very well known 4 seasons from Vivaldi. The arrenger is Alceo Toni and it's an arrangement very good and very true to the original score (or that's what I think) so, thanks to him!

My partner Carolina plays the first voice (and therefore the solo voice) in the summer and the spring; and I play the first voice (or solo voice) in the winter, which is my favourite one, and the autumn.


This work has been a challenge for us, both for its technical difficulties (it has everything: arpeggios, octaves, virtuose scales...) and its length, because we learned it by heart.

Well, thank you very much and I hope you enjoy them!!

Very interesting these 4 hands arrangements, pretty unique. Preferred the Prokofiev concerto but enjoyed that very much as well. Congratulations! Now where's the solo version? lol jk. Also, your partner is gorgeous

Thank you very much!!

Yes, I also think there should be a version for piano solo! (We have all the Beethoven/Liszt symphonies, why not the Four seasons for piano solo? 

Thank you very much for your comment and I'll tell my partner what you've said

This rules, thanks for posting this. I just got done saying I dislike 90% of classical music in another thread, and I do. But I've always loved vivaldi...your rendition of it is no exception.

Wow, if you have that opinion about classical music and you think that about our rendition of this Vivald's masterpiece, I can feel very lucky! Thank you very much!!

 And, yes, carolina is a stunning girl.  and you aren't bad yourself.
