A bestselling recording since its first release in 2008, Amandine Beyer and Gli Incogniti’s memorable performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons has been reissued by Alpha Classics for a second time. Using both the Le Cène edition and the Manchester manuscript, Beyer’s broad understanding of the composer’s markings meant that she was able to fully respect the score whilst remaining curious and experimental. This approach prompted BBC Radio 3 to state: “I would stick my neck out and say I have never heard one that satisfied me better”. Beyer describes the four concertos as “an infinite source of delights” and credits musicologist Olivier Fourés for the addition of three rarely recorded, or previously unpublished, concertos to the programme. These superb pieces, which throw an intriguing light on Vivaldi's different modes of composition, are a fine addition to this performance of the famous Four Seasons, which established Gli Incogniti among the top reference ensembles for historically informed performance.
