Vivaldi: The Four Seasons [CD]

Itzhak Perlman's classic recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Warm, lyrical and full of character, Perlman's playing makes this one of the best-loved versions of these four violin concertos, from the birdsong of Spring to the icy chill of Winter.
