O, ölümünden sonra değeri
anlaşılan isimlerden sadece
biri… Onun eserlerini
dinlemek, dört mevsim baharı
dinlemek gibi… Venedik’ten,
tüm dünyaya; Barok
döneminden, sonraki tüm
zamanlara dalga dalga yayılan
konçertoların babası Antonio
Vivaldi…

Vivaldi, who gave inspiration to
musicians that came after him
and who was discovered by

his death was born in 1678 in
Venice. He took his first musical
education from his father
who had worked as a barber
