Rachlin Plays The Four Seasons

Violinist Julian Rachlin makes his conducting debut with the CSO in two stirring interpretations on the same theme. The program begins with Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and ends with Piazzolla’s The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires, arranged in the opposite order to Vivaldi’s to account for the Southern Hemisphere. In between, Rachlin leads Mozart’s Divertimento in D Major. Finally, Jean Martinon, the CSO’s seventh music director from 1963 until 1968, conducts Nobilissima visione by Hindemith from an RCA release.
