Janoska Ensemble - Vivaldi- The Four Seasons in Janoska Style (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

The Janoska Ensemble, one of the world’s most innovative ensembles, is happy to announce the
release of their fourth studio album: an exciting new interpretation of Antonio Vivaldi’s timeless
masterpiece “The Four Seasons / Le Quattro Stagioni”. This album marks another milestone in the
ensemble’s impressive career and will once again delight music lovers far beyond the classical world.

Vivaldi’s works were deliberately chosen as baroque music provides an ideal basis for the Ensemble’s
unique “Janoska Style” – characterized by virtuoso improvisations and cross-genre fusions. This style is
particularly evident in the art of improvisation, which has become a trademark of the ensemble since
it was founded. The four violin concertos shine in a completely new light thanks to the orchestral
splendor of the ensemble and will be an integral part of their live repertoire in the future.

The Janoska Ensemble takes it even further: each movement of the Four Seasons is enriched by newly
composed passages by ensemble member František Janoska, which are brought to life with
breathtaking virtuosity by Ondrej, Roman and Julius. Vivaldi’s original sonnets serve as a central theme
and the musicians interpret not only the seasons, but also cultural change over the centuries. This
artistic approach combines classical heritage with contemporary interpretation in a fascinating way.

In addition to their musical achievements, the Janoska Ensemble has performed on four continents and
delighted audiences worldwide. Their two previous albums on Deutsche Grammophon have also
achieved gold status, underlining the exceptional quality and popularity of their music.

In view of the upcoming 300th anniversary of Vivaldi’s composition in 2025, the Janoska Ensemble is
planning a world tour next year. This will offer a wide audience the opportunity to experience Janoska’s
unique interpretation of the Four Seasons live.
