One of my first CD was the Four Seasons played by Shaham and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra in the 1990s. To this day, even after having heard dozens of versions of this cycle, that album remains my gold standard. I've yet to hear a finer rendition.

Underrated. Clean, precise and just wonderful. God is great for gifting us artists like them. God bless you all

[@dporkhun]

Perfect!!!

[@ZanyarAyooman-vs3rb]

the best version of four season i have ever seen

[@belmon38]

I have to admit that every once in a while it is refreshing to listen to a non HIP o the Vivaldi four seasons. Also the virtuosity of players like Shaham is a plus

[@mingicino]

Best 4 seasons anywhere by anyone!

[@Marcordasviolinos]

I've watched it a million times

[@consanna]

Vivaldi wrote for the students test. This is an A+. Even the ladies wore red as a tribute to Vivaldi who was Cardinal.

[@frankrotella772]

Very clean playing

[@masael255]

Fantastic rendition. I always find it so interesting how Gil Shaham's bow is so tight. Not knocking it, it works for me! Just worries me how tight it is! Lol.

[@violinhunter2]

Bravo!! I had never heard Shaham play the seasons. It is wonderful - and the orchestra is excellent. Heifetz never recorded this so we will never know what it might have sounded like. (The English Concert with Simon Standage made a fantastic "authentic" recording many years ago and it remains my favorite.)
