A very crowded marketplace of Vivaldi Four Seasons recordings has been stimulating violinists to try to come up with ways of setting themselves apart from the crowd, with varying results. Québécois violinist Alexandre da Costa, with his 1689 Stradivarius and frat-boy look (untucked Oxford shirt and tie, with sleeves rolled partway up), takes aim at a pair of market niches. He's got the chops to pull off whatever he wants to; his website claims that reviewers are "unanimous in saluting Alexandre's faultless technique," and there's not going to be any dent in the unanimity from this quarter. Da Costa sounds like a young Itzhak Perlman, and the plan of offering a new, modern-instrument Four Seasons reading that brought to the work the relaxed technical flash of the Russian school of violin playing is a sound one; some of the older generation of Russian-trained violinists recorded the Four Seasons, but for the most part their accompanimental groups hadn't freed themselves from the metronomic dullness that plagued Vivaldi performances for so long. The Wiener Concert-Verein under Christian Schulz follows da Costa's lead with agility. But da Costa doesn't stop there. He experiments with the slow movements, applying unusual expressive articulation in the "Spring," "Summer," and "Winter" concertos but charging forward into full-scale, late-Romantic-idiom improvisation in the "Autumn" Adagio -- perhaps something like how Wieniawski would have played it if he had somehow known about Vivaldi. Sample track 8 as far as possible before committing to the purchase of this disc: you may find yourself on da Costa's wavelength, or you might find that he breaks the mood here. The sound is another thing to check out in sampling; the engineers aim for and achieve a close-up intensity, but a certain muddy quality in the orchestra comes along with that.
