Vivaldi, Bach (and Alexander Hrustevich) on This Day in History



This day in history: Italian violinist and composer Antonio Vivaldi died on this day in 1741, and German composer Johann Sebastian Bach died on this day in 1750. Bach is known for many great pieces of music, while Vivaldi is mainly known for one series of 4 pieces...the Four Seasons. Now, take just TWO minutes out of your day to listen and watch a young man, Alexander Hrustevich, play the a section of the Four Seasons in the accompanying video on accordion. Those two minutes will blow your mind. This is definitely the best accordion performance I have ever seen and heard.
