"Seasons and Mid-Seasons" is a captivating classical album by violinist Sonig Tchakerian, released on February 24, 2015, under Universal Music Italia srl. This album is a fresh and innovative take on Vivaldi's famous "Four Seasons," expanded to include two additional "mid-seasons," making it a unique and comprehensive musical journey through the year.
The album features Tchakerian's virtuosic performances of Vivaldi's violin concertos, each movement evocatively titled to reflect the changing seasons and the nuances of each time of year. From the lively "Allegro" of spring to the introspective "Adagio" of autumn, Tchakerian's playing is both technically impressive and deeply expressive. The addition of the mid-seasons, "Prima Mezza" and "Seconda Mezza," adds a layer of depth and originality to the traditional concertos, showcasing Tchakerian's artistic vision and interpretive skills.
With a duration of 53 minutes, "Seasons and Mid-Seasons" is a concise yet rich musical experience. Tchakerian's mastery of the violin shines through in every track, making this album a standout in the classical music genre. Whether you're a longtime fan of Vivaldi or a newcomer to classical music, this album offers a refreshing and engaging exploration of the seasons through the lens of a talented and innovative artist.
