"Seasons. Snowstorm. "

Italy has a very cold winter. In any case, the Italians think so.

We, Russians, chuckle at such fantasies - those who do not know Russian frosts, it is difficult to imagine what real cold is. But… listen to the "Winter" by Antonio Vivaldi. This music is about us. Just like any other inhabitant of the planet - regardless of where he lives. Winter is a characteristic of the weather, but it (under the masterly bow of the great Venetian) is a characteristic of the soul. Great music tends to generalize particulars, expanding the horizons of perception. This was done by Antonio Vivaldi. This was done by Pyotr Tchaikovsky. His winter plays from the “Seasons” cycle are equally loved - both in Italy and in Russia. Now listen. Sounds Pushkinskaya "Snowstorm", inspired by the musical genius of George Sviridov (whose centenary we celebrate with delight!). The extraordinary, complementary harmony of the word and music is a miracle that is not equal in world history.
