The Four Seasons

Spectacular showpieces for violin soloist, there’s no conductor tonight – just Ruisi’s instincts and the formidable teamwork of the orchestra.  

Vivaldi’s scene-painting is amazing: spring brings a babbling brook and a barking dog, summer features a frenetic thunderstorm, hear the crackle of leaves underfoot in the autumn and the icy rain of winter. 

Piazzolla’s striking composition packs in tango music, early 20th-century classical influences, jazz and blues amid the changing seasons of Buenos Aires.
