Antonio Vivaldi

From our present perspective, who would believe that Vivaldi was almost forgotten before his music got rediscovered in the early twentieth century, more than a century and a half after his death. The baroque violin eccentricities of the Italian priest are now among the most popular pieces, including the series of concertos The Four Seasons (1723) that can now be heard in every possible context including hard rocking guitar.
