Happy birthday, Antonio
March 4, 2021Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741) composed The Four Seasons as violin concerti, but the timeless beauty of the music and its broad popular appeal have resulted in musicians of all kinds appropriating it for their own use. This arrangement for classical guitar of the Largo from “Winter” is by Russian guitarist Daria Semikina.
