Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741)
Astor Piazzolla (1921-1992)
8 Seasons
Sinn Yang, violin
Harald Oeler, accordion
The Duo ViA! (Sinn Yang & Harald Oeler) made their
debut in 2009 with the programme Seasons at the
Heidelberg Spring Festival. At that time, it required
a great deal of courage to present to the public, in a
sold-out hall, one of the most popular and most frequently
played classical works, Vivaldi’s I quattro stagioni
in combination with Astor Piazzolla’s Las cuatro
portenas. For the Duo, the programme Seasons was
might have felt similarly when he designated his Four
Seasons in the series of twelve violin concertos as “a
bold adventure of harmony and invention” (“Il Cimento
dell’Armonia e dell’Invenzione”).
