Buon compleanno, Vivaldi!

Posted on the March 4th, 2010

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Antonio Vivaldi – March 4, 1678. He was born in Venice. Vivaldi is especially famous for his concertos. One of the most well-known is “The Four Seasons.” Another of his best-known works is “Gloria.”

In this video, cellist Yo-Yo Ma is performing selected segments from both these works.
