For me, THE version of the 4 seasons that I recommend to all those who discover that Vivaldi was an Italian Baroque composer and not a composer worthy of a Karajan. I do not know the other versions of Carmignola, I regret it, but I have now too CDs of this work to start the collection. Incidentally and for the gag, I will advise the equally baroque Version (1739) of Chédeville for hurdy gurdy (yes: Chedeville: Seasons Fun). However I can not stand Biondi in Vivaldi - The Four Seasons and other concertos, it is best in Four Seasons and more in Vivaldi This e Cimento dell'armonia dell'invenzione. But I prefer, by far, Carmignola. Far from the hustle of Biondi, Carmignola deploys a dizzying technique, any tension, finesse, feeling. And violin (a Stradivarius if I'm not mistaken) sounds with incredible depth, a respondent, an extraordinary precision. Besides Biondi, this may seem wise. For me, it is the contrast between the absolute master at the summit of his art and gifted student excited.
