I'm not sure anyone has ever really heard The Four Seasons until you experience the unsurpassed rendition of Adrian Chandler: the "singing", vibrance, sense of rhythm, congruity and emotional sweep, orchestral nuance and color, communication between parts, the breathtaking spontaneity...




Spinning it now. Reminds me so far a bit like the Trevor Pinnock offering with a more "accurate" interpretation, but also has the gusto of the Shaham and Mutter recordings. Itzak Perlman's recording also had similar "additional" flair and near improv to it... which I forgot to list.

Btw I haven't heard many versions of the Four Seasons but Britain's Nigel Kennedy does a brilliant version. I own that version

It was a big hit here in the late 80's.


I'll have to check it.

How's Trevor Pinnock and the English Concort as a name around the home? I see A LOT of recordings... but perhaps nothing like Sir Neville Marriner?

Which by the way, it looks like he has a recording as well... https://www.discogs.com/Vivaldi-Academy...ner-With-A lan-Loveday-The-Four-Seasons/master/208925

I don't listen to a lot of classical music man. I just know the popular classics.

Last CD I bought was Gorecki's Sorrowful Symphony. Beautiful music.

No worries mate - just curious. And I suppose your a leg up on me as I don't own that Smile.

As I compare the recordings I'm noticing it's actually the lilting 2nd movement of the 1st concerto which is the best litmus test. This is true of all music - it's easy to do fast tempo/hard music and hard to do slow tempo/lilting music.

At least that's where I'm at now with it.
