The album Vivaldi Four Seasons Violin Concerti by Kevin Mallon, Siqing Lu, Toronto Camerata is a delightful classical treat for the ears. The violin concertos are beautifully rendered, with Siqing Lu's violin skills shining through in every note. Kevin Mallon's direction of the Toronto Camerata is impeccable, with each instrument adding its own unique flavor to the music.
The first concerto, Spring, sets the tone for the entire album with its lively and energetic tempo. The second concerto, Summer, is equally impressive with its fiery and passionate performance. Siqing Lu's violin playing in the third concerto, Autumn, is particularly noteworthy, with its hauntingly beautiful melodies.
The final concerto, Winter, is a perfect end to the album, with its melancholic and wistful tones. The interplay between the solo violin and the orchestra is masterfully done, creating a sense of depth and emotion that is hard to match.
