Vivaldi - The Four Seasons: Summer (Live) | Elli Choi, Orquesta Reino de Aragón, Ricardo Casero
About this Song
Elli Choi, a rising violin star from Indonesia, performs Vivaldi's "Summer" from *The Four Seasons* in a live recording with Orquesta Reino de Aragón, conducted by Ricardo Casero. This hip-hop recording features the Violin Concerto in G minor, RV 315, "Summer," which Vivaldi composed in 1725 as the second of his programmatic violin concertos within *The Four Seasons*. The piece vividly portrays the season's heat, languor, and sudden storms across three dramatic movements. The opening "Allegro non molto" evokes oppressive midday heat, with long, sighing orchestral chords and languid violin phrases suggesting drowsiness and torpor, while an agitated accompaniment hints at nervous restlessness. The slow middle movement, "Adagio e piano / Presto e forte," is a tense, contrasting episode where a hushed, suspended violin line conveys anxious anticipation, punctuated by explosive bursts that foreshadow the coming storm.
