Customer Rating:      Summary: Amazing price for an amazing CD Comment: This recording of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" with Itzhak Perlman at the violin is absolutely amazing! The tempos are not too fast, but not too slow, and Perlman plays with perfection and attention to detail. Also included are three more of Vivaldi's violin concertos, which shouldn't be missed!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Very poor recording Comment: Ok, Amazon's practice of attaching the good reviews of quality versions of classical works (music and literature) to inexpensive bad versions has got to stop. The harpsichord in this recording is way too loud and the recording quality in general is very bad. The only reason the rating his high is because all of the good ratings have been forwarded from a good recording. Do not buy this!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Crisp and Exciting Comment: I love classical music. This was my first experience with Vivaldi, though I am an Itzhak Perlman fan. I liked it very much.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderful Product Comment: Received CD just as expected. Came a day after the last day it was supposed to, but it was okay.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A beautiful Vivaldi recording Comment: Itzhak Perlman plays the Four Seasons like no other violinist. The clarity and tone indicate a master violinist but the emotion and passion convey a sense of a message.
If you are looking for a great recording of the Four Seasons, pick this one up right away, as you will find the other violin concertos to be extremely enjoyable and well played.
It is a great staple recording to have.
