German violin virtuoso Linus Roth teams up with guitarist Petrit Çeku!
Together, they deliver a fresh and intimate take on Antonio Vivaldi’s iconic masterpiece, The Four Seasons. The album features original arrangements for violin and guitar, offering a new interpretation of one of the most celebrated compositions in classical music.

“The 4 Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi… are probably the most famous and often performed composition ever written. While you can hear it in the origin version in the great concert halls just as well as background music in a lift, most of us have some personal hearing memory about them. For me they have been a great companion over dozens of years, and I must say every time I come back to performing them I’m once and again truly mesmorised by the genius masterpieces. It is Programmmusik based on beautiful short poems which I find inspiring both as listener and as a performer.“ — Linus Roth

Reviews

Pizzicato

"Çeku creates a wonderfully equipped casket for Roth in which he can embed his exquisite violin sound. He creates or prolongs moods, he is always on the move as a helper, and so Linus Roth is able to interpret his narration to the full, implementing Vivaldi’s program here with virtuosity, there with delicacy. [...] this is a homage to beauty with a honeyed but never sugary sound, and the listener who has an ear for this beauty can absorb it through his senses and feel it deep in his heart, falling into a state of deepest touch."
