RECORDING INFORMATION
This unique CD + DVD release brings together two different interpretations of Vivaldi's timeless 'Four Seasons' -- both by the acclaimed Italian string ensemble I Musici, but featuring different soloists. The performance on the CD features Pina Carmirelli as the violinist (in a digital recording previously on Philips 410 001), whilst the other, in which Vivaldi's music is set against the seductive backdrop of Venice, has Federico Agostini as the virtuoso soloist.
The DVD presents a film by Anton van Munster (previously on Philips VHS, 070 135-3), exploring Venice -- past, present and future. In addition to elegant vistas of Vivaldi's native city, the film features numerous paintings by such masters as Canaletto, Guardi and Tintoretto, as well as the fabulous costumes sported by Venice's citizens during its unique winter Carnival. A good portion of the film features I Musici performing (from memory!) on camera. The DVD also contains an optional DTS 5.1 surround soundtrack.
