10/10
An artistic and musical tour de force
9 January 2009
I think I must have seen a different version from that viewed by ptb-8 and reviewed on IMDb. In mine, Spring is depicted as the gentle season, set among the blossoms of Japan - where else?. Then we move to the "sunburnt country" - Australia where the summers are long and savage. Here we see and hear the extraordinary talent of the wonderful Niki Vasilakis of Classical Destinations fame, before crossing the Pacific to North America. Fall (autumn)is celebrated in New York's Central Park,with the predictable feast of images from this always vibrant setting. Finally we move to winter in blisteringly cold Finland and marvel at the good humour of people who are not going to see sun for several months. Since first seeing this I have intended to buy the DVD. I'm glad I waited because the one I bought also has a CD of the sound track, so I can double my enjoyment of this superb production and its imaginative interpretation of Vivaldi's delightful music.
