It's not certain if the four sonnets that accompany Vivaldi's celebrated concertos "The Four Seasons" were inspired by his music, or served as the inspiration for it. In part one, we hear his Concerto Op. 3 No.9, originally composed to feature solo violin, in a version that hands the starring role to a harpsichord, based on an adaptation by one of Vivaldi's great admirer's, J.S. Bach. The programme also features music from two of Vivaldi's Venetian compatriots - his elder, Giovanni Gabrieli, and a composer of the next generation: Giovanni Legrenzi.
