 "I Musici" has received praise for its energetic and authentic interpretation of Vivaldi's music. This recording of "Le Quattro Stagioni" has been highly regarded for its vibrant tempos, expressive playing, and attention to period performance practices. This interpretation often includes ornamentation and expressive phrasing that reflects the Baroque aesthetic, making their renditions particularly lively and engaging. In addition, this recording is highly regarded among audiophiles.
I Musici is a conductor-less ensemble that emphasizes the importance of listening and communication among its members.
