Including them in the recording was, for Jansen, a natural extension of many happy hours spent making music together in the family home. “And it was very exciting to experiment with this small group.”Īmong that tightly knit band of eight players were two members of Jansen’s own family-her cellist brother Maarten and father Jan on harpsichord and organ. “We did it with just eight people rather than a full orchestra,” she says.
That’s because, Janine Jansen tells Apple Music Classical, this is a Four Seasons with a difference. Recordings of it run into the hundreds, yet this one, released back in 2005 and remastered in Spatial Audio, stands out for its vibrancy and sense of fresh discovery. Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, a collection of four virtuosic violin concertos completed in 1720 at the height of the Baroque era, has mesmerized musicians and audiences in equal measure ever since.
