BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Live in Concert, Live from City Halls, Glasgow, Rameau, Vivaldi

Scottish Chamber Orchestra in Rameau: Suite (Les paladins). Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.

Conclusion of a concert in which Christian Curnyn conducts the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Rameau: Suite (Les paladins). Vivaldi: Four Seasons (with Nicola Benedetti: violin).

Nicola Benedetti plays Vivaldi's Four Seasons with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, live from the Glasgow City Halls. Presented by Donald Macleod.

Although Vivaldi's 500 instrumental concertos include some 37 for bassoon, four for the mandolin and at least one for the 'flautino' or flageolet (a member of the flute family, similar to a recorder), nearly half of the total are for solo violin. Tonight, Nicola Benedetti plays some of the most celebrated.
Rameau's comic opera Les Paladins includes elements of farce and knockabout comedy, and was based on a fable by La Fontaine, blending reality with the surreal as a young knight, Atis, struggles to free a young Italian girl, Argie, from captivity and win her hand.
