Four Seasons

All human life (and death) is here, with composers shaking hands across the centuries.

Mahler looks back 100 years to turn Schubert’s Death and the Maiden into a powerful orchestral piece. And Vivaldi’s Four Seasons from the 1700s travels two hundred years into the future to dance a tango with Piazolla’s version.
