About This Song

About "Vivaldi: The Four Seasons, Violin Concerto in E Major, Op. 8 No. 1, RV 269 "Spring": III. Allegro" by Carlo Maria Giulini

Spring bursts forth not as gentle pastoral but as a rustic dance—Vivaldi's allegro is all stamping feet and sunlit joy. Giulini lets the violins chirp and swirl like swallows drunk on warm air, the continuo a steady heartbeat. Pure, unironic rebirth: the season as a peasant festival, not a drawing-room bouquet.
