Among the many violin pages that Giulio Cesare Ricci has recorded with Salvatore Accardo in all these years, the edition of Antonio Vivaldi's Le Quattro Stagioni could not be missed. The great Maestro has taken up the original manuscript of Le Quattro Stagionigiving an interpretation of absolute reference. As for the location choice, Giulio Cesare Ricci has made an exception, not a historical place but the Auditorium that the architect Renzo Piano has obtained from the old Polenghi Lombardo factory in Lodi. Even if it is a contemporary Auditorium, the acoustics are very natural thanks to the wooden structures used for the recovery of this room. The Master was made with the Ampex ATR 102 (Electronic Tube Ampex Model 351 - 1965) 2 tracks, 1/2inch, 76 cm/sec. The mastering was done by Giulio Cesare Ricci using the entirely analog and valve Signoricci system. The recording was made without sound manipulation, nor equalization, nor reverb, nor compression and expansion... but natural sound with true timbre.
