- WILL
?Vivaldi For All Seasons? is a mini-series of four radio programs exploring the instrumental music of Antonio Vivaldi. Each program is 59:00, with an 85/15 percent music/talk ratio, and each includes one of the Four Seasons concertos, although the programs are not seasonally themed. They may be broadcast as a weekly or monthly series, separately as one hour stand-alone specials, or together as two two-hour blocks or one four-hour block.
The programs feature a mix of concertos, sonatas and overtures, with selected movements in some cases, drawn mostly from recordings of the past two decades, and were chosen for both performance merits and wide appeal. Light commentary is provided by Vic Di Geronimo, the program?s producer and a weekday classical music host on WILL-FM at the University of Illinois. Playlists, and more information about the programs, are available at will.uiuc.edu.
Program #4: Vivaldi as world-class chef: a feast of Vivaldi delicacies, topped off with the frosty delights of the ?Winter? concerto.

Thanks
This four-part series struck just the right balance between informational commentary and actual music. I learned a little without getting bored, but also was able to have it on as a nonintrusive background while working.
I do love baroque music- when are you gonna do a JS Bach series? :-D
