About
A unique disc from one of Scotland’s most dynamic and versatile groups: the Scottish ensemble is a tightknit band of outstanding string players from around Europe who perform regularly together under Artistic Director, Jonathan Morton. This disc, one of their first solo releases following acclaimed discs with artists such as Alison Balsom and Toby Spence, contrasts Vivaldi’s timeless Four Seasons with Piazzolla’s tango inspired The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires.

Awards and reviews
July 2011
The playing standard is excellent, with the strings of the Scottish Ensemble finding a light and suitably transparent texture in the Vivaldi, matched by bright, stylish solos from Jonathan Morton...if [Kremer]s Vivaldi is not particularly "Baroque" in sound, many will appreciate its richer string tone and personality.
