One of the best known and loved collections of string music in history. The programmatic nature of the Four Seasons , 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 swarms of wasps in Summer, the hunters' horns in Autumn, the winds and icy snow of Winter. Dr. Eleanor Selfridge-Field, a recognised authority on music of the Italian Baroque, has researched primary sources in Italy to prepare this specially commissioned, authoritative new edition.
