Vivaldi's Four Seasons with Bach and Takae Ohnishi

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), born in Eisenach, Germany, was a pivotal Baroque composer. Renowned for his mastery of counterpoint and polyphony, he enriched German styles with Italian and French influences. His prolific output includes iconic works like the Brandenburg Concertos, The Well-Tempered Clavier, Mass in B Minor, and Toccata and Fugue in D Minor. Bach is celebrated as one of history's greatest composers, whose genius continues to inspire.

Vivaldi's Four Seasons is a famous set of four violin concertos composed by Italian baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi in the early 1720s. Each concerto represents a different season of the year and is accompanied by a sonnet, making it one of the earliest and most celebrated examples of program music in classical history.
