We drop in on rehearsals at London鈥檚 Barbican Concert Hall to hear violinist Rachel Podger, with the Academy of Ancient Music, prepare for a performance of Vivaldi鈥檚 Four Seasons. Rachel and the ensemble give us their unique insider鈥檚 guide to how this music works and how they come together to help make it sing. They discuss the challenge of bringing a sense of freshness and individuality to one of the world鈥檚 best known classical pieces and share their thoughts on what keeps them and us coming back to this celebrated work.

With additional recordings by Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque.

Produced by Chris Taylor for 91热爆 Wales
