Vivaldi Four Seasons, Piazzolla Four Seasons : Arabella Miho Steinbacher(Vn)Munich Chamber Orchestra

Star violinist Arabella Steinbacher presents Antonio Vivaldis world-famous Four Seasons alongside Astor Piazzollas Cuatro estaciones porteas, creating a lively combination of baroque and tango. The enormous popularity of Vivaldis Four Seasons tends to make us forget the original and ground-breaking nature of these violin concertos. Coupling them with Piazzollas tango-inspired Four Seasons of Buenos Aires makes both pieces sound fresher than ever before, thanks to Steinbachers personal engagement with the repertoire and the inspired accompaniment of the Mnchener Kammerorchester. Piazzollas music is performed here in a new arrangement for violin and string orchestra by Peter von Wienhardt, whose Strauss song arrangements on Steinbachers previous album Aber der Richtige (2018) were extensively praised by the press. Arabella Steinbacher, a multiple award-winner with an extensive PENTATONE discography, is accompanied by the players of the Mnchener Kammerorchester, who make their PENTATONE debut.
