Chicago Symphony Orchestra: Chen Leads The Four Seasons
Overview
Warbling birds, trickling streams, summer storms, barking dogs, icy landscapes — Vivaldi pioneered the art of painting nature through music with his blazingly original Four Seasons. Concertmaster Robert Chen takes on these seminal concertos and leads Mahler’s orchestral rendering of Beethoven’s Serioso Quartet and Mozart’s exquisitely crafted Divertimento in B-flat Major.
