“Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is an instantly recognizable piece, making it a perfect entry point to classical music.

“Throughout my career, I’m always trying to introduce new audiences to the music I love and grew up with, selecting pieces I connect with on an emotional level,” says Luka Šulić. Luigi Piovano commends Luka Šulić’s ambitious undertaking, remarking, “If Vivaldi was alive, he would probably say, ‘Wow, that’s a great idea!'” Joining Luka Šulić for the recording is the Archi dell’Accademia di Santa Cecilia, conducted by Maestro Luigi Piovano, himself a cellist and musical director of the chamber ensemble and Rome’s renowned Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. In the end, I hope listeners will feel the same excitement I did while making this album and bringing Vivaldi’s iconic work to the cello for the first time.” “I spent two years preparing the arrangement, little by little, piece by piece. “ Four Seasons is a very demanding piece for violin, let alone cello, so it was a long and difficult process for me,” says Luka Šulić. Though hundreds of traditional recordings exist of The Four Seasons with a violin soloist, Luka Šulić’s recording will be the first complete version – his own painstaking work – that reimagines all four concertos of The Four Seasons for a cello soloist. “I’ve loved Vivaldi’s Four Seasons since I was a child,” says Luka Šulić of his newest project, adding, “I’ve always wanted to play the piece on the cello and love taking on new challenges.”Įven in a Baroque masterpiece, Luka Šulić is ready to defy expectations and shatter boundaries.
