@jon-nyc said in Vivaldi Recomposed:
Yeah. I think it was Schumann that said “Did Vivaldi compose 200 violin concerti? Or did he compose one violin concerto 200 times?”
Same has been said about Bruckner's symphonies.
Astor Piazzola has done a take on the 4 Seasons as well. It's very much Piazzola (whom I love), with only a few allusions to Vivaldi, but it's fun nevertheless. Here's the version for piano trio.
