Issued in 1947, this is the very first recording of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. It won violinist Louis Kaufman (1905-1994) the Grand Prix du Disques, was introduced into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2002, and has been credited with reviving interest in Vivaldi's music. Kaufman discovered the other eight concertos in Op. 8, then unknown, in Brussels, and recorded them, plus a two-violin concerto, in Zurich in 1950.
