Mari Samuelsen: Vivaldi's "Summer" (4 Seasons)
Sarah Chang; Mari Samuelsen; Antonio Vivaldi; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly CLASSICAL KUSC
(Mari Samuelsen, 9/13/09) Vivaldi's The Four Seasons is among the finest in classical music, with "Summer" standing out. It represents aspects of each season. Who would imagine 33,000,000 going on 34 million views for a blond soloist with a a bunch of Vikings accompanying her? In Europe it seems the Stradivarius violin has as much appeal as the Gibson electric guitar in the US in the hands of common hair farmers (those rock guys). Samuelsen may not the best performance ever, but it is a powerful one.
