5.0 out of 5 stars A First Love Rekindled, 22 Mar 2000
You know what the say about revisiting your first true love -

DON'T DO IT !

- You are likely to have grown away from each other rather than grown towards each other. The reality cannot live up to the memory.

Happily these maxims doesn't apply to my relationship with Vivaldi's Four Seasons. All thanks to this wonderful recording.

I heard of this release through an article in a hi-fi magazine, in which the author waxed lyrical about both the equipment he was reviewing and the extraodinary musicality of this cd. Still, I was apprehensive about buying this cd because, like many others, this piece was my introduction to classical music. I can still recall the thrill of listening to I Musici's Phillips recording both on disc and tape in the 1970's - a real departure from the rock/pop music I was weaned on.

Since then I have discovered many joys in the world of classical music but the memory of my first proper encounter stayed with me, despite the music being both popular and popularist. I have listened to other interpretations along the way but they have not grabbed me the way my first experience did. And, as with relationships, my feelings for the piece in general have mellowed to an echo of there original fervour.

UNTIL NOW !

My apprehension was heightened by the pop/rock packaging of the work but I need not have bothered because the contents are so wonderful.

I do not have the skill or technical/critical vocabulary neccessary to describe the artistry which appears on this recording but I've found it profoundly enthralling.

So, if you, like me, loved the Four Seasons and have not found a way back to the thrill of those first encounters.....Try this offering ! It should, as it did in me, rekindle those emotions and feelings your dared not revisit.

No mean feat when you consider that it needs first to overcome the spectre of your first love.

3.0 out of 5 stars Exciting Highlights Dampened by Weak Support, 7 Mar 2007
By Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)      

It's easy to get used to listening to near-perfect recordings and performances of The Four Seasons. With so many recordings available, you can have your pick of styles.

I remember confidently ordering tickets for a local group's performance of The Four Seasons in Salzburg one summer. How could I go wrong? The performance started off in fine fashion. The soloist was huge, confident, and energetic. The rest of the group was solid and enthusiastic. But after about 12 minutes, the soloist began to come apart at the seams. He couldn't complete the difficult sections in Summer. The group would restart and restart. I was fascinated.

I had almost forgotten that experience when I first listened to this recording. Such violin soloist flubs are unknown in the mature Anne-Sophie Mutter's recordings. But I was astonished to find that her supporting cast of Trondheim Soloists (led by Bjarne Fiskum and including soloists Byvind Gimse, and Knut Johannesen) was apparently playing a different piece, and not very well. Ms. Mutter is also credited as conductor. I suspect that she should have scheduled many more practices.

The recording also has moments when another take would have been in order.

But I learned something valuable from listening to Ms. Mutter soar about the muddled noise: It matters who else is playing with you for The Four Seasons.

If you are an Anne-Sophie Mutter fan (as I am), you'll undoubtedly want to listen to this CD. But I think you'll be more pleased if you limit yourself to the first allegro from Spring from The Four Seasons for 3 minutes and 36 seconds during which the Trondheim Soloists perform okay in the Simply Anne-Sophie CD. Good editing choice there.

I graded Anne-Sophie's playing as a five, the recording quality as a four, and the Trongheim Soloists as a 1.

Totally amazing. If you have ever heard the stodgy and lifeless renditions of the Four Seasons that are only too common, this will wake you up with a start. Read more
