1723 Antonio Vivaldi - The Four Seasons

Op. 8; Year: 1723; Genre: Baroque Period/classical
I had another song in mind for my pick today, but out of curiosity I googled what happened musically in the year 1723, (today's song pick number), and discovered that 1723 was the year that Antonio Vivaldi wrote The Four Seasons.
Believe me when I say you've probably heard at least parts of these four violin concertos at some point; they are by far Vivaldi's most famous works. These pieces of music are simply a work of beauty and exemplify my most favourite period in classical music.

Hear the full Four Seasons on YouTube.
