About
His vivid portrayals of the ever-changing and miraculous transformations of nature, in all its diversity and seasons, seem to always come back to the inevitable, fleeting, self-perpetuating and ultimately comforting nature of Time. Don’t ask me to justify or prove any of this (I am not a scholar) - these thoughts are based purely on the feelings and revelations I experienced while exploring this amazing set of concertos. Crafted into inspired and perfect structures of emotion, rhythm and sequence combine to become the perfect tools to portray and explain Life’s deep harmony and balance within itself.
The fact that such a serene observer of Life should have been a priest in the Ospedale della Pieta, a school and orphanage for young girls in Venice, comes as a reassuring reminder that Vivaldi did not hide away from life on a human scale. His work as a priest within the context of this orphanage was probably a very important factor in making his music so popular and relevant in his own time. This is why I have chosen to donate £1 out of the sale of each CD towards the care of abandoned or needy children around the world (see notes on SOS Children’s Villages International). This is part of Towards Humanity, my international initiative using the inspirational qualities of music as a catalyst for promoting and raising funds for humanitarian work around the world.
I can think of no better tribute to Vivaldi’s enduring inspiration to us all, than to be continuing his work helping children towards the fulfilment of their destinies, as he did in his own lifetime. May music live on, converting Inspired Thought into Inspired Reality, for our fragile planet." - Wissam Boustany
