Life and Times of Antonio Lucio Vivaldi

Ordained as a priest, Antonio Lucio Vivaldi became one of Europe's most popular composers during the early part of the 18th century. He wrote hundreds of concertos, dozens of operas and many sacred works before his music fell out of fashion during the latter part of his life. He died in obscurity and his work suffered a similar fate for almost two centuries. His music was rescued from oblivion in the 1930s. His most famous work, The Four Seasons, has since become one of the best-selling classical compositions of all time.
