Antonio Vivaldi, The Four Seasons in forma di sonata for cello by Vito Paternoster Vito Paternoster : Antonio Vivaldi, The Four Seasons in forma di sonata for cello.
 Cellist extraordinaire.

Vito Paternoster performed has performed Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" perhaps 1000 times in 35 years all around the world. He has also recorded it 6 times with the best Italian violinists (three times with the label Philips Classic-Universal, once with Sony jp, twice with Arcadia kr). He now proposes his own version, according to the ancient stylistic of transposition in forma di sonata, which is this recording before you now.

This is a version for cello and harpsicord that combines elegance, originality and history.

A recording not to be missed.

What makes music universal, eternal?

Is it scholarly acknowledgement? Is it the number of concert programs it has been included in? Perhaps?

Though, it is especially because of its presence...it resounds in ringtones, advertisements, answerphones, elevators, recreation grounds, and through its different cover versions.

The four seasons: the piece of music most recorded in the world.
Composed for violin, performed also by flute, trumpet, mandolin, accordion, electric guitar, voices, marimba, ocarina, organ, no matter what...
it still remains:
the soundtrack of the Time.

Why not on the cello?
