The Scottish Four Seasons

Isla Ratcliff’s second album, The Scottish Four Seasons, is a Scottish trad arrangement of Vivaldi’s famous work. Set for release in 2025 to mark the 300-year anniversary of the work’s original publication, Isla’s album highlights the dance-like nature of Vivaldi’s music and reflects on how Scotland’s climate has changed in the past 300 years. The album can be performed either as the full ensemble (two fiddles, viola, cello, double bass and piano), or as a smaller ensemble (fiddle, cello and piano).
