"... outstanding ... Ayo throughout is a remarkable soloist."
- Gramophone
"... one of the longest-standing versions ... also one of the best, sounding fresh and brightly-lit ... ensemble playing is polished, refined and fluent. Ayo’s solo work is distinguished by pliant, firm tone and a virtuoso technique that’s tastefully employed to suit the varied stylistic needs of the music. I Musici never set out to be 'authentic,' but the moderate use of vibrato, subtle ornamentation and abrupt reaction to dynamic changes keep the ear constantly attentive ... if you want to hear the music in the context of the picturesque sonnets found in the score, this might be one of your best options ... a fine version, also well recorded."
- ClassicsToday.com
Of all the versions released over the years of Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, this 1959 Philips recording by violinist Felix Ayo and his ensemble I Musici is still considered among the best. The programme also features Vivaldi's L'amoroso, both works remastered for this reissue.
