This is how the winter season ought be received: the way Vivaldi conceives and composes it in his Four Seasons.
This set of music was published as the first four concertos in a collection of twelve, Il cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione, Opus 8, published in Amsterdam by Le Cène in 1725 by Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (March 4, 1678 – July 28, 1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso (The Red Priest).
So, for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere bracing for the big blizzard that is coming our way later today, play some Vivaldi, especially this Winter concerto and celebrate the beauty of this season!
