Description

TDK presents a very special program in true Italian style. A must for all lovers of excellent Baroque Music: the most "Italian" and also most widely known and played Baroque concerti, The Four Seasons, performed in what could have been their original setting. Played in some of the most magnificent Venetian Villas the well-known pieces gain a whole new aspect. Andrea Palladio, the 16th century architect, who gave a whole epoch its name, designed some of the houses and the beauty of the architecture adds to the music's narrative program The musical descriptions of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are brought even more vividly to life in these beautiful Venetian surroundings.
