concertos for young women
Men are the heroes in Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons”: sleepy shepherds and wild huntsmen, drunk farmers and high-spirited ice skaters. However, these violin concertos were played by women, the famous orchestra of the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, to which Maestro Vivaldi was the only man granted access. The red-haired priest wrote his most famous concertos for young women who were named after their instruments because they were nameless orphans and foundlings. In dedicating his Vivaldi programme to them, Jordi Savall makes his Concert des Nations an exclusively female orchestra.
