Vivaldi "Four Seasons"

Posted by: Rubio on 19 November 2005

Does anybody have a recommendation for a CD (not SACD/DVD Audio) with top-notch performance/sound quality of Vivaldi "Four Seasons" (not too original I know, but the person who receive it will like it)? It should be a gift to someone who doesn't have too much experience with classical music, so I would like to have recommendation for an orchestra that does the performance in a way that is "consevative"/"romantic" rather than experimental/pushing the boundaries.

For something a little different I can heartily recommend Gidon Kremer's version which combines Vivaldi and Piazzolla in a disc called Eight Seasons

Thank you very much for the input. I think I will go for the SONOTORI DE LA GIOIOSA MARCA, GIULIANO CARMIGNOLA, VIOLIN on Hybrid SACD as proposed by Cosmoliu in the thread mentioned above.

Yes, definitely. You will not regret it.
