VIVALDI: Violin Concerto in g minor, Op. 8 No. 2, RV 315 “:'Estate”: I. Allegro non molto

It’s officially British Summer Time! Did you remember to change your clocks? ⏰ According to Vivaldi, summer isn’t all blue skies and BBQs. It’s scorching sun, frantic birdsong, and sudden storms. His sonnet says it best: Beneath the blazing sun’s relentless heat man and flock languish, pines are seared; the cuckoo calls and, soon heard are, the songs of the turtledove and goldfinch. Zephyr blows gently, but suddenly Boreas sweeps his neighbour aside; the shepherd weeps, because he fears a fierce storm in the offing and his destiny. Sound familiar? A very British kind of summer, really — unpredictable and a bit dramatic.
