Astor Piazzolla’s “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” reimagines Vivaldi’s masterpiece, “The Four Seasons,” within the context of the Argentine tango. Originally written as four separate pieces between 1965 and 1970, Piazzolla’s interpretation infuses Vivaldi’s Baroque elegance with the passionate and rhythmic essence of tango, creating a fusion of classical and contemporary musical styles. Each season, represented by a separate movement, vividly captures the changing moods and dynamics of Buenos Aires throughout the year. Piazzolla’s “Four Seasons” is a testament to his extraordinary talent for pushing the boundaries of traditional tango music and creating a modern, evocative work that remains a cherished gem in the world of classical and tango music.

A mere dozen or so printed viola concertos are known of from the Viennese Classical era, contrasting with countless violin, cello, and flute concertos. There can be only one explanation for this: there were relatively few players available of truly virtuoso ability. Alongside two emblematic viola concertos of the time, those by Hoffmeister and Stamitz, this album includes the 1802 transcription for viola of Mozart’s A major clarinet concerto.

The 3rd part of our series features the serenades of four Romantic composers. Every bar of Victor Herbert’s serenade presents Herbert as a composer who is intimately familiar with the world of the musical stage. Elgar and Fuchs’s serenades are youthful compositions: the former holds it’s place in the repertoire for the ensemble to this day, while Fuchs’s serenade has the technical perfection typical of the composer. This recording closes with what is perhaps the most popular melody from Schubert’s last song cycle, Schwanengesang (Swan Song). Anima Musicae Chamber Orchestra was founded by Laszlo Horvath in 2010 with the students of the Liszt Ferenc Academy. Despite it’s short career the chamber orchestra accomplished a large number of concerts with growing success. From the very beginning, the orchestra has not only been inspired, but also mentored by János Rolla, the artistic director of the world renowned Liszt Ferenc Chamber Orchestra.
