With her version of Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Leila Schayegh continues her exploration of the violin repertory, always combining musical insight, virtuosic brilliance and historical understanding. Over the last years, the Swiss musician and professor in the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis has become one of the leading violinists of her generation. On this dazzling new exhibition, Schayegh -who plays a late-17th-century Andrea Guarneri instrument- is joined by the fine and colourful ensemble Musica Fiorita, directed by Daniela Dolci. The opera composer Vivaldi is omnipresent in all of the four concertos, also thanks to the use of elements of Baroque theatre the sounds of wind machines or bird whistles contribute to making this a delightful, fascinating and InchdifferentInch version of one of the most recorded works of all times.
