Antonio Vivaldi – The Four Seasons – Seiji Ozawa / Boston Symphony Orchestra / Joseph Silverstein (CD, Telarc CD-80070, DADC U.S.A.)

Why This CD Matters
Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons comprises four violin concertos from Op. 8, each depicting a different season through some of the Baroque era’s best-known programmatic writing. This recording pairs violinist Joseph Silverstein with the Boston Symphony Orchestra conducted by Seiji Ozawa. Telarc’s early digital recording approach places the performance within the label’s influential series of orchestral recordings made for the emerging digital-audio era.

Collector Note
This U.S. Telarc CD carries catalog number CD-80070 and presents the complete 12-movement Four Seasons in stereo. The pictured edition is identified as a DADC U.S.A. pressing, distinguishing it from earlier manufacturing variations of this Telarc title. The release is part of Telarc’s Pure Digital series and credits Silverstein as violin soloist with Ozawa conducting the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
