Aleksey Igudesman presents his latest opus:  “The Other Seasons”, or “4 Seasons, 12 Reasons and 24 Seasonings”.
Much like Vivaldi, Igudesman’s work is comprised of 3 movements for each season. Each movement has a “reason” for being there, some simply because “it’s fun” or because “it tastes good”.
Each “reason” additionally contains two musical “seasonings”, such as salt, paprika or even lemon grass.
Playful, humorous, and deliciously original, Igudesman incorporates fragments of Vivaldi into his own composition. In other parts, Tango rhythms underline the virtuosic, yet extremely melodious solo violin part. Between the seasons, Igudesman performs his own original and often humorous arrangements of music by Strauss, Mozart and Kreisler.
