Beschrijving van het boek
Marko Simsa's popular production of "The Four Seasons" is now available in English for native speakers and those who would like to learn English in a nice musical way. The British actor Howard Nightingall takes us through Vivaldi's well-known masterpiece in a charming and easy-to-follow way, explaining the musical images such as the song of the birds in spring, the heat in summer, thunderstorms and dancing in autumn, and the sharp cold of winter.
A booklet with information in two languages and a vocabulary list is available.
