- Vivaldi’s 'Four Seasons' was ground-breaking at the time of its composition and to this day remains, because of its vivid poetry and technical ingenuity.
- Violinist Kati Debretzeni directs the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment based on the energetic, historically-informed performances given last February when, with renowned choreographer Henri Oguike, the OAE fused authentic performance with contemporary choreography.
- Video clips on the OAE's website [and vimeo] of 'V4 Seasoned': http://www.oae.co.uk/event/four-seasons/.
