It's easy to take musical blockbusters for granted, but really, Vivaldi's "Four Seasons" is a wonderful, get-under-your-skin kind of work. The menacingly icy Winter concerto may not be so welcome right now, but the breezy Spring and, especially, the sunny Summer are beautiful things to hear, in lieu of the actual experience. Heck, even the Fall concerto sounds pretty good these days. Vivaldi is especially vivacious when heard on original baroque instruments, as will be the case for this concert, featuring an array of fine local soloists.
