Vivaldi's Four Seasons at 300

Les Arts Florissants with Théotime de Swarte, violin

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at 300


Baroque superstars Les Arts Florissants are joined by fast-rising violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte in “Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at 300” commemorating the work’s original publication in 1725. The program frames these iconic masterpieces afresh, setting them alongside music Vivaldi would have known in Venice and compositions which were in turn inspired by his bold vision, performance and education ethos.

Critical acclaim for Théotime Langlois de Swarte’s new recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons (Harmonia Mundi)

“So compelling it will have you on the edge of your seat ... exhilarating.”

“Above all, though, it’s Swarte’s solo playing (on a 1733 fiddle by Carlo Bergonzi) that steals the show; pliant, expressive, wild and virtuosic. ... He’s the Stéphane Grappelli of period performance.”

—BBC Music Magazine
