Info zu Into Nature - Vivaldi Seasons and Other Sounds from Mother Earth

Naturklänge: 25 Jahre nach seiner revolutionären Einspielung mit Il Giardino Armonico präsentiert Enrico Onofri auf PASSACAILLE eine neue spannende Version von Vivaldis Le quattro stagioni, in die er seine ganze künstlerische Reife und Erkenntnisse hat einfließen lassen. Im Mittelpunkt der neuen Einspielung steht dabei nicht nur Vivaldi. Vielmehr wollte Onofri auch Mutter Natur seine Anerkennung zollen, da sie mit ihren Klängen, Bildern, Gerüchen und Wundern Künstler aller Gattungen immer wieder inspiriert hat. Die weiteren ausgewählten Stücke entstammen dem italienischen Repertoire des 17. Jahrhunderts und erweisen sich als geistige Vorgänger von Vivaldis Meisterwerk.
