Genre: Classical
Places I remember: Marbecks Records (Classical shop), Auckland, NZ
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles/ Gear costume: Winter
Active compensatory factors: I've chosen Winter for obvious reasons (if you live in the southern hemisphere as I do it's frrrrrrrrezzzzzzing), but it's also the Vivaldi season that gets the blood pumping with Alan Loveday excelling on violin.
This version of The Four Seasons was bought when I needed to expand my musical palette a little. I approached Murray Marbeck (when I was working in the pop store in the early eighties) and asked his advice. He handed me this record!
It appears that this 1969 version is considered a benchmark recording of this seminal work. Well done and thanks Murray!
Where do they all belong? It slots into the Vivaldi corner of the classical section.
