Concerto pour une Nuit de Noël de Corelli

Concerto for a Christmas Night by Corelli / Ave Maria by Caccini & Schubert / Vivaldi's Four Seasons Complete. Orchestra: Helios. Conductor: Glen Rouxel. Concerto grosso in G minor, op. 6, no.

8 by Arcangelo Corelli, better known as the Christmas Concerto, was commissioned by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni and published posthumously in 1714. The concerto bears the inscription Fatto per la note di Natale (made for Christmas night).

The concerto is written for an ensemble comprising two solo violins and cello, ripieno strings and continuo. Antonio Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a set of four concertos for violin, composed in 1723.

It is undoubtedly Vivaldi's best-known composition and the most performed musical work in the world. It is a violin concerto in which a violin plays accompanied by a chamber orchestra. The content of each concerto is varied and evokes each of the seasons to which it relates.

As an example, winter is punctuated with pizzicato notes on the high strings, evoking icy rain, while summer evokes a storm in the final movement, prepared by thunder rumbling several times in the movement. Helios Concerts.
