What do you guys think of Vivaldi?

[Lucandrake]

I've heard only a little bit of his work, and really only ever replayed the Four Seasons (specifically Summer and Winter). There's just something about those last two tunes that expose a glimpse of 60's generation rock star in the 1700's. Especially Summer, its tune starting with something whimsical and calm. Slowly rising up a hill through its intro until it outbursts into an array of bumps that halt suddenly to let you understand and appreciate its beginning. Flirting with passion as you expect it to rise again a few more times during its next course. Letting go of itself for a little while longer, flying freely until it slows down to reminisce the dance of its calm state. As the tune smiles, it lets go of all its current energy for a short burst, creating nothing but tension between the audience and itself. This time though, it expends itself to its fullest, raising energy, trying to find the right time to let itself be free for eternity. Like the windy chill you feel while staring at the sun with a loved one at your right, you feel at peace, and able of accomplishing anything. After seeing its opportunity right before its eyes, it lets loose for what I consider an extremely epic solo. No more appreciation, no more games, just straight up release of emotion. Conflict dealing itself, argument immortal, a battle between a two single men, the mind finally in perfect balance as God himself would view the world in the logic of philosophers. Continuing all the way through until your own mind was satisfied with its own animal instincts. All you know is that in those last three minutes, chaos is no longer a representation of the fearful, but an adviser to the good. When that last string slithers down its note, satisfaction is felt on the same level of sex.
