Vivaldi, Antonio: Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons).(Sound Recording Review)
Vivaldi, Antonio: Le Quattro Stagioni (The Four Seasons). Concerto Italiano, conducted by Rinaldo Alessandrini. Recorded in 2002, at the Sala Academica del Pontifico Istituto di Musica Sacra, in Rome. Engineer: Laurence Heym. 44+ minutes. Opus 111/Naive 30363.
Vivaldi published these four short concerto pieces in 1725 as part of a twelve-concerto set that he called II Cimento dell'Armonia e dell'Inventione.

It has a world-wide reputation as an interpreter of the repertoire.
