The perfect classical half hour

Max Richter's reworking of Vivaldi's Summer from the Four Seasons, a folky landler by Schubert and Webern's early song Sommerabend (Summer Evening).

Max Richter's reworking of Vivaldi's Summer from the Four Seasons, a folky landler by Schubert and Webern's early song Sommerabend - summer evening. There's a hearty Swedish polska to open, and Gesualdo's sinuous In monte oliveti, along with a youthful wind quintet by Janacek. And to close, Francesca Caccini's sunny Ciaccona.
