Mark, I'm surprised that scads of baroque fans haven't piled in. They might gasp in horror to read that when I'm in the mood for a musical traversal of the seasons I'm more likely to put on Glazunov rather than Vivaldi. Having said that, the Vivaldi concertos are big, of course, with CDs all over the place. I'd suggest that you try something that Craig(spiff)has on RCA 61710. Jose Luis Garcia does the violin honors and the couplings to the Four Seasons are more interesting than most: James Galway does a Vivaldi Flute Concerto and Kazuhito Yamashita does a guitar concerto. Philadelphia area Borders and Tower Records show it as requiring an order. Incidentally, when you play Ma Vlast note the trumpet work near the end of Sarka.
