Encore at the 2024 New Year's Day Concert

The encore was the WINTER part of Astor Piazzolla's Tango-inspired interpretation of Vivaldi's 4 Seasons:

Las Cuatro Estaciones Portenas (The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires)


played masterly by Nicolas Danielson at the WFM 2024 New Year's Day concert. He performed the complete Four Seasons by Astor Piazzolla on Sept. 8, 2023, the final concert of the WFM Summer Concert Festival. 

Here is a link to the live recording:

Did you recognize any parts of Vivaldi's Four Seasons?

Enjoy!
