Vivaldi The Four Seasons
Roxanna Panufnik Four World Seasons
Ruth Rogers (director/solo violin)
Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has earned its place as a classical music favourite. And for good reason – it seems to have it all, from the joy of spring to a blazing summer thunderstorm. Yet in between these traditional soundscapes lies the subtleties of the world’s micro-seasons that don’t get as much love.
Enter Four World Seasons; Roxanna Panufnik’s colourful composition commissioned and premiered by LMP. Written for the same instruments as Vivaldi’s masterpiece – give or take the odd Tibetan singing bowl – Panufnik’s spin-on-a-classic transports you from Japanese cherry-blossom season to the Autumnal folk rhythms of Albania.
While your ears travel through time and space, your eyes will be transported to each season through live, digital projections.
