With its irresistible combination of elegance, good tunes and driving energy, it is not surprising that snatches from The Four Seasons have frequently been used by TV advertisers to help sell up-market products and services from motor cars to banks. But there is more to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons than that. The music is packed with vivid aural detail: Listen for the birds singing, a dog barking and peasants bagpiping in Spring; thunder and the buzzing of flies in Summer; tipsy peasants dancing and the hunt with horn, dogs and guns in Autumn; and in Winter hear the chattering teeth, stamping feet and folk slipping and falling on the ice.
